Design for change is a well-known adagium in software engineering. We separate concerns, employ well-designed interfaces, and the like to ease evolution of the systems we build. W...
Software-intensive systems evolve continuously under the pressure of new and changing requirements, generally leading to an increase in overall system complexity. In this respect,...
Visualizing software evolution is essential for identifying design erosions that have occurred over the past releases. Making evolutionary aspects explicit via visual representati...
It is well known that software maintenance and evolution are expensive activities, both in terms of invested time and money. Reverse engineering activities support the obtainment ...
Industrial systems are examples of complex and often long-lived systems in which software is playing an increasingly important role. Their architectures play a crucial role in mai...
