A fuzzy model for high-level clones in software
Niyati Baliyan, Vidushi Sharma, SHIVANI SHIVANI · ACM SIGSOFT Software Engineering Notes · 2013
High-level similarities in software, referred to as High-Level Clones (HLCs) may manifest themselves as behavior clones, concept clones, collocated simple clones or domain model clones [3]. The presence of such similarities may deter the maintainability of software, while identifying them may improve the reuse, reengineering, evolution and understandability of software [2]. This study proposes an integrated measure of high-level cloning, using a four input fuzzy model. It also proves that the calculated extent of high-level cloning is practically equal to the simulation result in the MATLAB's fuzzy toolbox.
