Abstract :
This paper presents a case study on utilizing a clone detection technique for deriving commonalities among four different industrial simulation software systems. We have examined cloning both within each system and across the four systems. We have showed that several commonalities can be identified with the help of clone detection. The analysis results can support domain analysis, identification of reusable components and the design of a reference architecture.
