Existing researches suggest that the code clone (duplicated code) is one of the factors that degrades the design and the structure of software and lowers the software quality such...
Abstract. The agent design problem is as follows: Given an environment, together with a specification of a task, is it possible to construct an agent that will guarantee to succes...
Abstract. In constraint networks, the efficiency of a search algorithm is strongly related to the local consistency maintained during search. For a long time, it has been consider...
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...
During their usage, software systems have to be changed constantly. If such changes are implemented in an incomplete or inconsistent way a loss of architectural quality will occur...
