Abstract
An overview of the concept of program similarity is presented. It divides
similarity into two types - syntactic and semantic - and provides a review
of eight categories of methods that may be used to measure program
similarity. A summary of some applications of these methods is included.
The paper is intended to be a starting point for a more comprehensive
analysis of the subject of similarity in programs, which is critical to
understand if progress is to be made in fields such as clone detection.
