This paper presents a study on the stability of cloned code. The results from an analysis of 200 weeks of evolution of five software system show that the stability as measured by...
In this paper, we propose a new semantic clone detection e by comparing programs’ abstract memory states, which are computed by a semantic-based static analyzer. Our experimenta...

Software clones are identical or similar pieces of code. They are often the result of copy–and–paste activities as ad-hoc code reuse by programmers. Software clones research i...

Software clones are considered harmful in software maintenance and evolution. However, despite a decade of active research, there is a marked lack of work in the detection and ana...
—Clones are generally considered bad programming practice in software engineering folklore. They are identified as a bad smell and a major contributor to project maintenance dif...
