Heteroduplex analysis of the RNA isolated from purified virions of clone 3 Moloney murine sarcoma virus (M-MSV) hybridized to cDNA's from Moloney murine leukemia virus (M-MLV) and clone 124 M-MSV shows that the main physical component of clone 3 RNA is missing all or most of the 1.5-kilobase (kb) clone 124 M-MSV specific sequence denoted beta s (S. Hu et al. Cell 10:469--477, 1977). This sequen...

Clone group mapping has a very important significance in the evolution of code clone. The topic modeling techniques were applied into code clone firstly and a new clone group mapping method was proposed. By using topic modeling techniques to transform the mapping problem of high-dimensional code space into a low-dimensional topic space, the goal of clone group mapping was indirectly reached by ...

Two identical or similar code fragments form a clone pair. Previous studies have identified cloning as a risky practice. Therefore, a developer needs to be aware of any clone pairs so as to properly propagate any changes between clones. A clone pair experiences many changes during the creation and maintenance of software systems. A change can either maintain or remove the similarity between clo...

It is known that a countable ω-categorical structure interprets all finite structures primitively positively if and only if its polymorphism clone maps to the clone of projections on a two-element set via a continuous clone homomorphism. We investigate the relationship between the existence of a clone homomorphism to the projection clone, and the existence of such a homomorphism which is contin...

Code duplication is a common software development practice that introduces several similar or identical segments of code, or code clones. In addition, there is currently a trend towards the use of multiple languages in the development of software systems. While there has been much work on clone detection and increased interest in studies of multi-language software systems, there have been no st...

The majority of studies that analyze clone evolution is limited to open-source software. Although providing important insights, it is unsure whether findings can be transferred to industrial contexts. We conducted a study on clone evolution in industrial systems to complement the findings of our previous study on clone evolution, which was limited to open-source systems. In this paper, we prese...

Code cloning is a severe problem that negatively affects industrial software and threatens intellectual property. This paper presents a novel approach to detecting cloned software by using a bijection matching technique. The proposed approach focuses on increasing the range of similarity measures and thus enhancing the recall and precision of the detection. This is achieved by extending a well-...
