Detection and Analysis of Near-miss Software Clones

by Chanchal K. Roy - Ph.D. Thesis, Queen’s School of Computing , 2009
"... Software clones are considered harmful in software maintenance and evolution. However, despite a decade of active research, there is a marked lack of work in the detection and analysis of near-miss software clones, those where minor to extensive modifications have been made to the copied fragments. ..."

. In this thesis, we advance the state-of-the-art in clone detection and analysis in several ways. First, we develop a hybrid clone detection method. Sec-ond, we address the decade of vagueness in clone definition by proposing a metamodel of clone types. Third, we con-duct a scenario-based comparison

CoCloRep: A DSL for Code Clones

by Robert Tairas, Shih-hsi Liu, Frédéric Jouault, Jeff Gray
"... Abstract. Code clones are pieces of code that are duplicated in multiple locations in the source code of a software application. The existence of these clones and the availability of clone detection tools to find them lend to the need for techniques to analyze the clones in an effort to enhance the ..."
