Due to the negative impact of code cloning on software maintenance efforts as well as on program correctness [4–6], the duplication of code is generally viewed as problematic. ...

In modern software engineering, researchers regard a software system as an organic life form that must continue to evolve to remain successful. Unfortunately, little is known abou...
Code cloning is not only assumed to inflate maintenance costs but also considered defect-prone as inconsistent changes to code duplicates can lead to unexpected behavior. Conseque...
In software engineering contexts software may be compared for similarity in order to detect duplicate code that indicates poor design, and to reconstruct evolution history. Malicio...
Coupling and cohesion between subsystems are commonly studied metrics when analyzing the architecture of software systems. It is usually desirable for subsystems to have high cohe...
