Despite a decade of active research, there has been a marked lack in clone detection
techniques that scale to large repositories for detecting near-miss clones. In this paper, we …

Recently, new applications of code clone detection and search have emerged that rely upon
clones detected across thousands of software systems. Big data clone detection and search …

Assessing the similarity between code components plays a pivotal role in a number of
Software Engineering (SE) tasks, such as clone detection, impact analysis, refactoring, etc …

Copying code and then pasting with large number of edits is a common activity in software
development, and the pasted code is a kind of complicated Type-3 clone. Due to large …

Many clone detection tools have been proposed in the literature. However, our knowledge of
their performance in real software systems is limited, particularly their recall. In this paper …

Duplicated code or code clones are a kind of code smell that have both positive and
negative impacts on the development and maintenance of software systems. Software clone …

Many clone detection tools and techniques have been introduced in the literature, and these
tools have been used to manage clones and study their effects on software maintenance …

There have been a great many methods and tools proposed for software clone detection.
While some work has been done on assessing and comparing performance of these tools …

Software clone detection is an often used approach to understand and maintain software
systems. One category of clones that is challenging to detect but very useful is semantic …

An abundant number of clone detection tools have been proposed in the literature due to the
many applications and benefits of clone detection. However, there has been difficulty in the …
