We provide an extensive overview of existing research in the field of software refactoring.
This research is compared and discussed based on a number of different criteria: the …

Detecting code clones has many software engineering applications. Existing approaches
either do not scale to large code bases or are not robust against minor code modifications. In …

Automated program repair (APR) has great potential to reduce bug-fixing effort and many
approaches have been proposed in recent years. APRs are often treated as a search …

Code duplication or copying a code fragment and then reuse by pasting with or without any
modifications is a well known code smell in software maintenance. Several studies show …

Background: Code refactoring is widely recognized as an essential software engineering
practice to improve the understandability and maintainability of the source code. The Extract …

Programs often have a lot of duplicated code, which makes both understanding and
maintenance more difficult. This problem can be alleviated by detecting duplicated code …

Mobile malware threats have recently become a real concern. In this paper, we evaluate the
state-of-the-art commercial mobile antimalware products for Android and test how resistant …

Advances in the areas of embedded systems, computing, and networking are leading to an
infrastructure composed of millions of heterogeneous devices. These devices will not simply …

Several techniques have been developed for identifying similar code fragments in programs.
These similar fragments, referred to as code clones, can be used to identify redundant code …

Mobile malware threats (eg, on Android) have recently become a real concern. In this paper,
we evaluate the state-of-the-art commercial mobile anti-malware products for Android and …
