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 …

Bad smells are sub-optimal code structures that may represent problems needing attention.
We conduct an extensive literature review on bad smells relying on a large body of …

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 …

This book has been a much longer process than I would have ever anticipated. The original
idea was to integrate and combine the research on software product quality control with my …

The authors define a reference model for applying formal methods to the development of
user requirements and their reduction to a behavioral system specification. The approach …

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 …

Bad smells in code are indications of low code quality representing potential threats to the
maintainability and reusability of software. Code clone is a type of bad smells caused by …

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 …

Sleep deprivation attacks are a form of denial of service attack whereby an attacker renders
a pervasive computing device inoperable by draining the battery more quickly than it would …

Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) has become an important development framework for
many large-scale software. Previous research has reported that as in traditional code-based …
