Exploiting machine learning techniques for analyzing programs has attracted much
attention. One key problem is how to represent code fragments well for follow-up analysis …

The vast majority of security breaches encountered today are a direct result of insecure
code. Consequently, the protection of computer systems critically depends on the rigorous …

Code duplication or copying a code fragment and then reuse by pasting with or without any
modifications is a well known code smell in software maintenance. Several studies show …

Code duplication is one of the factors that severely complicates the maintenance and

Our goal is to use the vast repositories of available open source code to generate specific
functions or classes that meet a user's specifications. The key words here are specifications …

UI design is an integral part of software development. For many developers who do not have
much UI design experience, exposing them to a large database of real-application UI …

Large repositories of source code create new challenges and opportunities for statistical
machine learning. Here we first develop an infrastructure for the automated crawling …

Source model extraction, the automated extraction of information from system artifacts, is a
common phase in reverse engineering tools. One of the major challenges of this phase is …

Specification matching is a way to compare two software components, based on
descriptions of the component's behaviors. In the context of software reuse and library …
