This paper presents a tree-pattern-based method of automatically and accurately finding code clones in program files. Duplicate tree-patterns are first collected by anti-unificati...
Bug tracking systems are important tools that guide the maintenance activities of software developers. The utility of these systems is hampered by an excessive number of duplicate...
Web services are often employed to create wide distributed evolvable applications from existing components that constitute a service-based software system. ServicesOriented Archit...
Programmers often create similar code snippets or reuse existing code snippets by copying and pasting. Code clones —syntactically and semantically similar code snippets—can ca...
Supporting the varied software feature requirements of multiple variants of a software product-line while promoting reuse forces product line engineers to use general-purpose, fea...
