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...
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...
