Literature on the topic of code cloning often asserts that duplicating code within a software system is a bad practice, that it causes harm to the system's design and should b...
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...
—Current research on code clones tries to address the question whether or not code clones are harmful for the quality of software. As most of these studies are based on the fine...

Background: Metagenomics is the study of environmental samples using sequencing. Rapid advances in sequencing technology are fueling a vast increase in the number and scope of met...
Code clones in software increase maintenance cost and lower software quality. We have devised a new algorithm to detect duplicated parts of source code in large software. Our algo...
