Large and complex computer based systems are the result of an evolution process which may take many years. Heterogeneity is an important characteristic of such systems: During the...
During software evolution, several different facets of the system need to be related to one another at multiple levbstraction. Current software evolution tools have limited capabi...
Large, complex and long-lived software need to be upgraded at runtime. Addition, removal and replacement of a software component are the elementary evolution operations that have ...
Process-driven service-oriented architectures (SOA) need to cope with constant changing requirements of various compliance requirements, such as quality of service (QoS) constraint...
