Clones are code segments that have been created by copying-and-pasting from other code segments. Clones occur often in large software systems. It is reported that 5 to 50% of the ...
Code cloning is widely recognized as a threat to the maintainability of source code. As such, many clone detection and removal strategies have been proposed. However, some clones ...
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...
Cloning in software systems is known to create problems during software maintenance. Several techniques have been proposed to detect the same or similar code fragments in software...
—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...
