Detection of code clones—similar or identical source code fragments—is of concern both to
researchers and to practitioners. An analysis of the clone detection results for a single …

Finding, understanding and managing software clones-passages of duplicated source code-
is of large interest in research and practice. There is an abundance of techniques to detect …

A code clone (in short, clone) is a code fragment that is identical or similar to other code
fragments in source code. Clones generated by a large number of changes to copy-and …

Extracting code clone genealogies across multiple versions of a program and classifying
them according to their change patterns underlies the study of code clone evolution. While …

Code clones are similar program structures recurring in variant forms in software system (s).
Several techniques have been proposed to detect similar code fragments in software, so …

If two fragments of source code are identical or similar to each other, they are called code
clones. Code clones introduce difficulties in software maintenance and cause bug …

Over the last decade many techniques and tools for software clone detection have been
proposed. In this paper, we provide a qualitative comparison and evaluation of the current …

The new hybrid clone detection tool NICAD combines the strengths and overcomes the
limitations of both text‐based and AST‐based clone detection techniques and exploits novel …

Many techniques for detecting duplicated source code (software clones) have been
proposed in the past. However, it is not yet clear how these techniques compare in terms of …
