Abstract. It is an important and intriguing issue to know the quantitative similarity of large software systems. In this paper, a similarity metric between two sets of source code ...
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...
Developers perform small-scale reuse tasks to save time and to increase the quality of their code, but due to their small scale, the costs of such tasks can quickly outweigh their...
Maintaining software systems is getting more complex and difficult task, as the scale becomes larger. It is generally said that code clone is one of the factors that make softwar...
We present a new set of metrics for analyzing the interaction between the modules of a large software system. We believe that these metrics will be important to any automatic or s...
