Outline of Final Research Achievements

In developments of large computer software, accidental structures are usually included in their programs. Such accidental structures are additional complexity, problems for developers of such programs. This study aims to solve such problems of accidental structures, with proposed methods of program analysis, which consider (neglect) such surface differences in accidental structures: a keyword search method to extract a set of parts of source code which corresponds to an execution sequence including all of given keywords as name of procedure or values, and a method to detect similar code which tolerate changes in program structures by refactoring.
