Two similar code segments, or clones, form a clone pair within a software system. The
changes to the clones over time create a clone evolution history. In this work, we study late …

When implementing new features into a software system, developers may duplicate several
lines of code to reuse some existing code segments. This action creates code clones in the …

It is often claimed that duplicated source code is a threat to the maintainability of a software
system and that developers should manage code duplication. A previous study analyzed the …

Software maintenance is the main driver of total costs in the lifecycle of long-living software
systems. Code clones, that is, the replication of code fragments across the system, decrease …

Clones are a matter of great concern to the software engineering community because of
their dual but contradictory impact on software maintenance. While there is strong empirical …

Duplicate or similar fragments of code are referred to as" code clones" and are normally
created by copying and pasting. Such duplication allows code to be reused; however, these …

Code clones are duplicated code fragments that are copied to re-use functionality and
speed up development. However, due to the duplicate nature of code clones, inconsistent …

Duplications and changes made on code segments by developers form code clones.
Cloned code segments are exactly the same or have a particular similarity. A set of cloned …

Software maintenance is the main driver of total costs in the lifecycle of long-living software
systems. Code clones, that is, the replication of code fragments across the system, decrease …

This paper discusses the fractal feature of pore structure based on the capillary pressure
data of mercury withdrawal and mercury injection. Also, the paper calculates the fractal …
