A well-known bad code smell in refactoring and software maintenance is duplicated code, that is the existence of code clones, which are code fragments that are identical or similar...
Software refactoring is the process of reorganizing the internal structure of code while preserving the external behavior. Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) provides new modulariz...
Tracing algorithms visit reachable nodes in a graph and are central to activities such as garbage collection, marshalling etc. Traditional sequential algorithms use a worklist, re...
The high cost of software maintenance could be reduced by automatically improving the design of object-oriented programs without altering their behaviour. We have constructed a so...
