Code clones are similar code fragments that occur at multiple locations in a software system. Detection of code clones provides useful information for maintenance, reengineering, ...
Code duplication, plausibly caused by copying source code and slightly modifying it, is often observed in large systems. Clone detection and documentation have been investigated b...

This paper presents a hybrid approach to detect source-code clones that combines evolutionary algorithms and clustering. A case-study is conducted on a small C++ code base. The pr...

Programs often have a lot of duplicated code, which makes both understanding and maintenance more difficult. This problem can be alleviated by detecting duplicated code, extracting...
Abstract—In Open Source System (OSS) development, software components are often imported and reused; for this reason we might expect that files are copied in multiple projects (...
