Relative similarity evaluation model for software repair
针对软件修复的相对相似性评价模型*

Combining behavior observation sequence and relations between the repair process and corresponding software, this paper introduces the RSEM (Relative Similarity Evaluation Model) for software repair according to the local characteristics. RSEM translates verification problem into a behavior similarity measure problem to overcome the shortcomings of existing technology for lack of an effective evaluation. In the experiment, we study patches and dynamics repair respectively. Comparing the use of pair-addresses, system call sequence, as well as mixed sequence illustrates the evaluation model works, and also shows the effectiveness of the model and the mixed sequences have a stronger ability to express the software behavior.
