This paper introduces a framework for security-oriented software service composition and evolution. Key building blocks of the framework are a semantic model for specifying the se...
For there to be order-of-magnitude improvements in the quality of software and the productivity of software development and evolution there needs to be a much more strategic appro...
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...
