AwfulMaths
Number one in the stink parade is duplicated code.
If you see the same code structure in more than one
place, you can be sure that your program will be better
if you find a way to unify them.

(MODEL) CLONE
DETECTION
Models: models are typically represented visually, as box-and-arrow diagrams,
and the clones we are searching for are similar subgraphs of these diagrams.
Model Granularity: models could be represented at different levels of granularity
(such as the source code) corresponding to different syntactic (and semantic)
units.
Models Clones are categorized in (three) different Types
REFERENCEEXAMPLE
TYPE 1C L O N E S
(MODEL) CLONE
DETECTION
• Type 1 (exact) model clones: Identical model fragments except for
variations in visual presentation, layout and formatting.
TYPE 2C L O N E S
(MODEL) CLONE
DETECTION
Type 2 (renamed) model clones: Structurally identical model fragments except
for variations in labels, values, types, visual presentation, layout and formatting.

TYPE 3C L O N E S

Type 3 (near-miss) model clones: Model fragments with further modifications,
such as changes in position or connection with respect to other model fragments
and small additions or removals of blocks or lines in addition to variations in labels,
values, types, visual presentation, layout and formatting.

    PROBL EM S T AT E M E N T (MODEL) CLONE DETECTION Models: models are typically represented visually, as box-and-arrow diagrams, and the clones we are searching for are similar subgraphs of these diagrams. Model Granularity: models could be represented at different levels of granularity (such as the source code) corresponding to different syntactic (and semantic) units. Models Clones are categorized in (three) different Types
