Proposal 702764A Transformational Approach to Clone Refactoring PI - Jeff GraySurveys indicate that 10% of the code in many commercial applications may contain clones, which represent fragments of code that are duplicated throughout various source files. This presents a maintenance and evolution challenge when a code clone is changed because it is likely that the other corresponding clones require similar adaptation. This research project will investigate program analysis and transformation techniques to support the categorization, selection, and refactoring of code clones. The topic of clone detection has been investigated in the past by many researchers. However, scientific foundations to support analysis and automated transformation of the results reported from a clone detection tool are still lacking and often require a manual approach to clone refactoring. The key focus of this research is an investigation into the foundational analysis and transformation techniques that will provide a software engineer with the proper tool support to increase their productivity while improving the correctness of adaptive changes in the presence of clones. This project has potential for broad impact across many domains in critical application areas (e.g., scientific and ?e-science,? as well as middleware for enterprise software). In addition, contributions toward educational objectives are core to the proposed research plan.

提案702764克隆重构的转换方法PI - Jeff GraySurveys指出，许多商业应用程序中10%的代码可能包含克隆，克隆表示在各种源文件中复制的代码片段。当代码克隆被改变时，这提出了维护和进化挑战，因为其他对应的克隆可能需要类似的适应。本研究计画将探讨程式分析与转换技术，以支援程式码克隆的分类、选择与重构。克隆检测的主题在过去已经被许多研究人员研究过。然而，支持克隆检测工具报告的结果的分析和自动转换的科学基础仍然缺乏，并且通常需要手动方法来克隆重构。本研究的重点是调查的基础分析和转换技术，将提供适当的工具支持，以提高他们的生产力，同时提高克隆存在的自适应变化的正确性的软件工程师。该项目有可能对关键应用领域的许多领域产生广泛影响（例如，科学与？e-science，？以及用于企业软件的中间件）。此外，对教育目标的贡献是拟议的研究计划的核心。
