CONTEXT: Reusing software by means of copy and paste is a frequent activity in software
development. The duplicated code is known as a software clone and the activity is known as …

Measuring and evaluating source code similarity is a fundamental software engineering
activity that embraces a broad range of applications, including but not limited to code …

Static bug detection has shown its effectiveness in detecting well-defined memory errors, eg,
memory leaks, buffer overflows, and null dereference. However, modern software systems …

Code clone detection is an important problem for software maintenance and evolution. Many
approaches consider either structure or identifiers, but none of the existing detection …

Measuring code similarity is fundamental for many software engineering tasks, eg, code
search, refactoring and reuse. However, most existing techniques focus on code syntactical …

Binary code analysis allows analyzing binary code without having access to the
corresponding source code. A binary, after disassembly, is expressed in an assembly …

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 …

Besides traditional problems such as potential bugs,(smartphone) application clones on
Android markets bring new threats. That is, attackers clone the code from legitimate Android …

Source code clones are categorized into four types of increasing difficulty of detection,
ranging from purely textual (Type-1) to purely semantic (Type-4). Most clone detectors …

Binary code search has received much attention recently due to its impactful applications,
eg, plagiarism detection, malware detection and software vulnerability auditing. However …
