Summary: 
Recently, code clone has received much attention. And many research efforts have performed on removing code clones. Especially, it is highly expected that the removing technique with Template Method pattern has high applicability because it can remove code clones which has some gaps. However previous research efforts remain some issues. In this paper, we propose a new technique of removing code clones by applying Template Method pattern with program dependence graph to resolve these issues.
