An Empirical Study on Inconsistent Changes to Code Clones at Release Level
—Current research on code clones tries to address the question whether or not code clones are harmful for the quality of software. As most of these studies are based on the fine...

Architecting for evolvability by means of traceability and features
The frequent changes during the development and usage of large software systems often lead to a loss of architectural quality which hampers the implementation of further changes a...
