This survey paper presents the current state of model comparison as it applies to Model-Driven
Engineering. We look specifically at how model matching is accomplished, the …

While graph-based techniques show good results in finding exactly similar subgraphs in
graphical models, they have great difficulty in finding near-miss matches. Text-based clone …

… Matthew Stephan… Inclusion/Exclusion was performed through collaboration between
Kaan Koseler and Matthew Stephan. Disputes to this effect were resolved through discussion. …

Framework-specific modeling languages (FSMLs) help developers build applications based
on object-oriented frameworks. FSMLs model abstractions and rules of application …

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 clones, …

We present our new ideas on taking the first steps towards cultivating synergy between
model-driven engineering (MDE), machine learning, and software clones. Specifically, we …

High-level software models are representations of software artifacts or processes that are at
a higher level of abstraction than source code. This includes structural modeling techniques, …

A relatively new and important branch of Mutation Analysis involves model mutations. In our
attempts to realize model-clone detector testing, we found that there was little mutation …

Intelligent virtual model assistance is a key challenge in cultivating model-driven engineering
proliferation and growth. Such assistance will help improve the quality of software models, …

In this position paper we briefly review the Simulink model clone detection approaches in
literature, including a new one currently being developed, and outline our plan for an …
