Understanding the Genetic Makeup of Linux Device Drivers by Julia Lawall (joint work with Peter Senna Tschudin, Laurent Reveillere, Lingxiao Jiang, David Lo and Gilles Muller, presented at the workshop PLOS 2013)
Attempts have been made to understand driver development in terms of code clones. In this work, we propose an alternate view, based on the metaphor of a gene. Guided by this metaphor, we study the structure of Linux 3.10 ethernet platform driver probe functions.
