In the last decade, a great many code clone detection tools have been proposed. Such a large number of tools calls for a quantitative comparison, and there have been several attem...
Copy-paste programming is dangerous as it may lead to hidden dependencies between different parts of the system. Modifying clones is not always straight forward, because we might ...
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...
As a novel approach to software maintenance in large clusters of PCs requiring multiple OS installations we implemented partition cloning and partition repositories as well as a s...
Code clones are generally considered harmful in software development, and the predominant approach is to try to eliminate them through refactoring. However, recent research has pr...
