Code clones are generally considered to be an obstacle to software maintenance. Research has provided evidence that it may not always be practical, feasible, or cost-effective to ...
n the concept of abstract clone region descriptors (CRDs), which describe clone regions using a combination of their syntactic, structural, and lexical information. We present our ...
Recent research results have shown more benefits of the management of code clones, rather than detecting and removing them. However, existing clone management approaches are stil...
