Managing Unanticipated Evolution of Software Architectures
Few existing approaches towards architectural evolution deal with unanticipated evolution. This is an important restriction, since a lot of architectural changes are very di cult ...

Architecture-Centric Evolution: New Issues and Trends
Abstract. Software evolution has largely been focused on low-level implementation artefacts through refactoring techniques rather than the architectural level. However code-centric...

An Approach for Measuring Software Evolution Using Source Code Features
One of the characteristics of large software systems is that they evolve over time. Evolution patterns include modifications related to the implementation, interfaces and the over...

Software evolutionary dynamics modelled as the activity of an actor-network
The pressures which act on a software system over its life from inception to retirement are many and varied. It is an important goal in considering software evolvability to unders...
