title = {A Language Independent Approach for Detecting
Duplicated Code},
year = {1999},
abstract = {Code duplication is one of the factors that severely
complicates the maintenance and evolution of large
software systems. Good tools for detecting duplicated
code are scarce because of the large amount of data
to be checked, because duplicated code is not known a
priori and because especially it requires parsing
technology. In this paper we show that is possible to
circumvent these complicating factors by applying a
language independent and lightweigth approach, i.e. a
tool that requires no parsing and a little learning
and configuration time, yet is able to detect a
significant amount of code duplication. We validate
our approach on a number of case studies, involving
five different implementation languages and ranging
from 256 K up untill 26Mb of source code.},
