Clone detection is an automated process for finding duplicated code within a project’s code base or between online sources. Nowadays, the code cloning community advocates that developers must be aware of the clones they may have in their code bases. In ...

Code clone detection is about finding out similar code fragments, which has drawn much attention in software engineering since it is important for software maintenance and evolution. Researchers have proposed many techniques and tools for source code ...

Code clone detection aims to find similar code fragments and gains increasing importance in the field of software engineering. There are several types of techniques for detecting code clones. Text-based or token-based code clone detectors are scalable ...

A code clone (in short, clone) is a code fragment that is identical or similar to other code fragments in source code. Clones generated by a large number of changes to copy-and-pasted code fragments are called large-variance (modifications are scattered)...

Code clones are source code parts that are identical or have some degree of similarity to another part of the code. Cloning arises for a variety of reasons, including copy and paste and the reuse of ad-hoc code by programmers. Detection of information ...

In order to improve the efficiency of software development, developers often copy-paste code. It is found that the clone code may affect the quality of the software system, especially the maintenance and comprehension of the software, so it is necessary ...

Wireless sensor networks deployed in open environments are vulnerable to clone attacks. For this clone attack, a clone detection method based on compressed sensing in a cluster network is proposed. It combines the local and global detection of nodes. ...

In a software system, similar or identical fragments of code are known as code clones. Instead of implementing a new code from scratch, most of the developers prefer copy–paste programming in which they use existing code fragments. So, the primary ...

Previous studies have shown that there is a non-trivial amount of duplication in source code. This paper analyzes a corpus of 4.5 million non-fork projects hosted on GitHub representing over 428 million files written in Java, C++, Python, and ...

Malware has posed a major threat to the Android ecosystem. Existing malware detection tools mainly rely on signature- or feature- based approaches, failing to provide detailed information beyond the mere detection. In this work, we propose a precise ...

Program source code is one of the main targets of software engineering research. A wide variety of research has been conducted on source code, and many studies have leveraged structural, vocabulary, and method signature similarities to measure the ...

Cloning attacks seriously impede the security of Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) applications. In this paper, we tackle deterministic clone detection for anonymous RFID systems without tag identifiers (IDs) as a priori. Existing clone detection ...

Model Clone Detection is a growing area within the field of software model maintenance. New model clone detection techniques and tools for different types of models are being created, however, there is no clear way of objectively and quantitatively ...

The history of software systems tracked by version control systems is often incomplete because many file movements are not recorded. However, static code analyses that mine the file history, such as change frequency or code churn, produce precise ...

Clone detection finds application in many software engineering activities such as comprehension and refactoring. However, the confounding configuration choice problem poses a widely-acknowledged threat to the validity of previous empirical analyses. We ...

To date, most clone detection techniques have concentrated on various forms of source code analysis, often by analyzing token streams. In this paper, we introduce a complementary technique of analyzing generated assembler for clones. This approach is ...

Clone Detection has considerably evolved over the last decade, leading to approaches with better results but with increasing complexity. Most of the existing approaches are limited to finding program fragments similar in their syntax or semantics, while ...

In cloning attacks, an adversary captures a sensor node, reprograms it, makes multiple copies, and inserts these copies, into the network. Cloned nodes subvert sensor network processing from within. In a companion paper [2], we show how to detect and ...

This paper examines the effectiveness of a new language-specific parser-based but lightweight clone detection approach. Exploiting a novel application of a source transformation system, the method accurately finds near-miss clones using an efficient ...

Standard ways of calculating the similarity of different computer programs are needed in computer science. Such measurements can be useful in many different areas such as clone detection, refactoring, compiler optimization, and run-time optimization. ...
