It&#8217;s very easy to become overwhelmed by the sheer size of their codebase. We propose to use code clone analysis to help manage existing applications and develop new ones. First, we propose an automatic application ranking scheme based on (dis)similarity. Traditionally, applications in app [&hellip;]"}
