Abstract

We present an empirical evaluation of three context-sensitiveslicing algorithms and five context-sensitive chop-pingalgorithms, and compare them to context-insensitivemethods. Besides the algorithms by Reps et al. and Agrawalwe investigate six new algorithms based on variations of k-limitedcall strings and approximative chopping based onsummary information. It turns out that chopping based onsummary information may have a prohibitive complexity,and that approximate algorithms are almost as precise andmuch faster.
