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...
Software clones are considered harmful in software maintenance and evolution. However, despite a decade of active research, there is a marked lack of work in the detection and ana...
The area of clone detection has considerably evolved over the last decade, leading to approaches with better results, but at the same time using more elaborate algorithms and tool...
—Recent research results have shown more benefits of the management of code clones, rather than detecting and removing them. However, existing management approaches for code clo...
