Cloning in software systems is known to create problems during software maintenance. Several techniques have been proposed to detect the same or similar code fragments in software...
Literature on the topic of code cloning often asserts that duplicating code within a software system is a bad practice, that it causes harm to the system's design and should b...
The new hybrid clone detection tool NICAD combines the strengths and overcomes the limitations of both textbased and AST-based clone detection techniques to yield highly accurate ...
It is generally said that code clone is one of the factors to make software maintenance difficult. A code clone is a code portion in source files that is identical or similar to...
Duplicated code is a well known problem in software maintenance and refactoring. Code clones tend to increase program size and several studies have shown that duplicated code make...
