As a program evolves, it becomes increasingly difficult to understand and reason about changes in the source code. Eventually, if enough changes are made, reverse engineering and ...
Several techniques have been suggested for supporting reverse engineering and design recovery activities. While many of these techniques have been cataloged in various collections...
Code duplication, plausibly caused by copying source code and slightly modifying it, is often observed in large systems. Clone detection and documentation have been investigated b...
