Self-adaptive systems are able to autonomously adapt to changing user requirements and resource variability at runtime, therefore addressing the problem of software complexity and...
Changeability (also called evolvability) is an essential property of software. Software change is the foundation for both new software development and legacy software maintenance, ...
The analysis of the evolution of software systems is a useful source of information for a variety of activities, such as reverse engineering, maintenance, and predicting the future...
During software evolution, programmers add new functionalities and release new versions of software. This is complicated work, particularly in large applications, and tools are ne...
In this paper, we show how elaborate support for framework-based software evolution can be provided based on explicit documentation of the hot spots of object-oriented application...
