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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Wider adoption of model-driven engineering leads to an abundance of models and
metamodels in academic and industrial practice. One of the key techniques for the …

Abstract Model transformation design patterns have been proposed by a number of
researchers, but their usage appears to be sporadic and sometimes patterns are applied …

While source code clone detection is a well-established research area, finding similar code
fragments in binary and other intermediate code representations has been not yet that …

While finding clones in source code has drawn considerable attention, there has been only
very little work in finding similar fragments in binary code and intermediate languages, such …

In Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) play a
key role to model systems within specific application domains. Creating DSMLs is a …

Background Many researchers have investigated different techniques to automatically detect
duplicate code in programs exceeding thousand lines of code. These techniques have …
