When analyzing the evolution history of a software project, we wish to develop results that generalize across projects. One approach is to analyze design patterns, permitting char...
—Much of modern software development consists of building on older changes. Older periods provide the structure (e.g., functions and data types) on which changes in future period...
Empirical research on software development based on data obtained from project repositories and code forges is increasingly gaining attention in the software engineering research ...
Abstract. Code clones have long been recognized as bad smells in software systems and are considered to cause maintenance problems during evolution. It is broadly assumed that the ...
