Held as workshop of CSMR'2009 in Kaiserslautern, Germany, Tuesday, March 24, 2009.


Objectives

The scope of the workshop is the general field of software clones including but not limited to empirical studies on cloning, detection and removal techniques, theories, and applications. 

The primary aims of this workshop are to:

  • bring together researchers within the field
  • clarify and assess the current state of research
  • establish a list of new directions and open and critical research questions, and
  • generate new research collaboration partnerships.


This workshop expands upon the First International Workshop on Detection of Software Clones, held in conjunction with ICSM'2002 in Montreal in October of 2002 and Second International Workshop on Detection of Software Clones held in conjunction with WCRE'2003 in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, November 2003. 

Relevant topics include but are not limited to:

  • definition of software redundancy and clones
  • types, distribution, and nature of clones in software systems
  • taxonomies of clone, redundancy, or duplication types
  • software similarity models
  • root causes for clones
  • effects of clones
  • techniques for software clone management
  • cost/economic and trade-off models for clone removal
  • clone and pattern detection techniques and algorithms
  • clone/redundancy and pattern visualization tools
  • relevance ranking for detectors
  • evaluation and benchmarking issues
  • language design and modeling techniques for redundancy elimination
  • evolution of clones
  • tool and technique evaluation or comparison
  • empirical studies of clones in systems or of clone detection
  • benchmarking and benchmarking issues, including data format issues, benchmark types, subject system selection, etc.

 Workshop Format

In this whole-day workshop, we will have paper presentations in the morning sessions. Paper presentations are limited to 15 min. Afterwards we will spend 15 min on the discussion of the paper's subject. These papers will raise important open research issues. These issues will be collected and be discussed in the afternoon in working session.

After lunch, authors of position papers will state their position statement. The presentation of positions is limited to 5 min. Each position statement will be discussed in the following 10 min.

In the afternoon working session, we expect to split the audience into many groups depending upon the number of participants and issues. We will rotate groups and issues in the second half of the afternoon. The goal of these working groups is to define concrete research hypotheses and plans to address the issues. In a final plenary session, we will collect the results of the working groups.


Publication

The papers will be published in the workshop proceedings of CSMR as a Fraunhofer publication with an ISBN. Additionally, they will be made available electronically on this web site.
