Has anyone mentioned Brenda Baker's work?


"On Finding Duplication and Near-Duplication in Large Software
Systems", Proc. Second IEEE Working Conference on Reverse Engineering,
July, 1995, pp. 86-95.


The paper describes a system for finding "similar" chunks of code.


Brenda Baker's web page has a number of papers describing her work in
this area:
