The advent of new static analysis tools has automated the searching for code clones, which are duplicated or similar code fragments in a program. However, clone detection tools can report many clones if the source code that is being searched is large. Programmers may have difficulty comprehending the extensive results from the detection tool, which may inhibit the ability to maintain the identified clones. Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI) is an information retrieval technique that attempts to find relationships in a corpus based on the analysis of the documents in the corpus and the terms in the documents. In this paper, LSI is used to cluster clone classes that have been identified initially by a clone detection tool. The goal of this paper is to detect trends and associations among the clustered clone classes and determine if they provide further comprehension to assist in the maintenance of clones. Experimental evaluation of the approach is reported from a sequence of tools that are chained together to perform an analysis of clones detected in the Microsoft Windows NT kernel source code.
