Software Similarity and Classification

While finishing my dissertation, I needed a document to summaries key concepts in SAST(Static Application Security Testing) solutions. Of course, I jumped from research paper to research paper to compiler books but I just wanted a summary and definitions of concepts like variable liveliness and call graphs. Yes, you can find this information in a compiler book. . . However, when writing, I didn't want to keep looking for reference material. I wouldn't call Cesare's book a book but rather reference guide. It covers a lot of concepts if you already familiar with the theory behind Static and Dynamic analysis. It is about 100 pages of definitions and short summaries. Who is this book for? If you are familiar with the field and want a good reference guide for writing, it's good. If you want more of a book for understand the origin of code and software , any compiler book theory would do.
