In this paper, we propose a scalable instant code clone search engine for large-scale software repositories. While there are commercial code search engines available, they treat s...
Maintaining software systems becomes more difficult as their size and complexity increase. One factor that makes software maintenance more difficult is the presence of code clones...
Abstract. Code "clones" are similar segments of code that are frequently introduced by "scavenging" existing code, that is, reusing code by copying it and adapt...

A code clone represents a sequence of statements that are duplicated in multiple locations of a program. Clones often arise in source code as a result of multiple cut/paste operat...
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...
