Application domain description precedes requirements engineering, and is the basis for the development of a software or information system that satisfies all expectations of its u...
We present a method to detect and visualize evolution patterns in C++ source code. Our method consists of three steps. First, we extract an annotated syntax tree (AST) from each v...
This paper applies Lehman's theory of software evolution to analyse the characteristics of web-based applications and identifies the essences and incidents that cause difficu...
The problem of managing the evolution of complex and large software systems is well known. Evolution implies reuse and modification of existing software artifacts, and this means t...
We present a formulation of interconnection models and present the unit and syntactic models -- the primary models used for managing the evolution of large software systems. We di...
