A common conceptual model for clone detection results
Cory J. Kapser, Jan Harder, Ira D. Baxter · 2012
As the field of code clone research grows, the continuing problem of interoperability between code clone detection and analysis tools grows with it. As a step toward solving this problem, this paper presents a draft proposal for a generic model of code clone detection results. Using an online wiki, we hope to generate discussion and solidify a shared understanding of the core concepts of the problem domain, enabling us to ultimately develop a generic data exchange format.
