✦ Synopsis
This paper reports on a process for eliminating function clones and class clones from industrial objectoriented code. Clone removal can decrease system code size and facilitate maintenance. We eliminate clones by re-engineering scenarios that are based on using automated restructuring tools. The clone elimination process described includes function insertion, function expulsion, function encapsulation, function and variable renaming, and argument reordering. The paper presents examples of clones, re-engineering scenarios and restructuring tools. The usefulness of the approach is demonstrated by experience from a case study.

The bglM gene DNA coding for a thermostable beta-I .3,1.4-glucanase of Bacillus maceruns E I38 was isolated by direct shot-gun cloning into Escherirhia coli using plasmid pBR322 as a vector. By deletion analysis the bg/M coding region was located within a 1.0 kb region of the cloned Bacillus DNA fra
