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 …

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 …

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 …

Repackaged Android applications (app clones) have been found in many third-party
markets, which not only compromise the copyright of original authors, but also pose threats …

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 …

If two fragments of source code are identical or similar to each other, they are called code
clones. Code clones introduce difficulties in software maintenance and cause bug …

In this paper, we present the first large-scale and systematic study to characterize the code
reuse practice in the Ethereum smart contract ecosystem. We first performed a detailed …

Static analysis (SA) tools that find bugs by inferring programmer beliefs (eg, FindBugs) are
commonplace in today's software industry. While they find a large number of actual defects …

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 …

In various research domains, artificial intelligence (AI) has gained significant prominence,
leading to the development of numerous learning-based models in research laboratories …
