This paper presents a study on the stability of cloned code. The results from an analysis of 200 weeks of evolution of five software system show that the stability as measured by...
Existing researches suggest that the code clone (duplicated code) is one of the factors that degrades the design and the structure of software and lowers the software quality such...
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...
The new hybrid clone detection tool NICAD combines the strengths and overcomes the limitations of both textbased and AST-based clone detection techniques to yield highly accurate ...
—This paper presents an approach to automatically distinguish the copied clone from the original in a pair of clones. It matches the line-by-line version information of a clone t...
