Abstract: Cloning code is becoming an increasing activity done by several programmers especially when there is a tight schedule to finish their tasks. The difficulty of detecting clone code lies in the intentional modification of some segments of the code by the programmers which may result in difficult-to-track debugs and increasing cost of maintenance. There have been different approaches and techniques proposed in the literature to solve this issue. However, these approaches either target a specific aspect of the issue or biased to some criteria rather than others. A comparison study of these techniques –based on some criteria- is proposed by this paper favoring approaches borrowed from artificial intelligence discipline. A final analysis is provided to layout the foundation for a new proposed solution that outweighs previous approaches.

About the speaker: Abdulrahman Baqais is a Lecturer-B in the Department of Information and Computer Science. He  working towards his PhD degree in Computer Sciences and Engineering since 2011. His research interests focus on applying soft computing techniques to various problems.​​
