During the last few years, software evolution research has
explored new domains such as the study of socio-technical aspects
and collaboration between different individuals contributing to a
software system, the use of search-based techniques and
meta-heuristics, the mining of unstructured software repositories,
the evolution of software requirements, and the dynamic adaptation
of software systems at runtime. Also more and more attention is
being paid to the evolution of collections of inter-related and
inter-dependent software projects, be it in the form of web
systems, software product families, software ecosystems or systems
of systems.
With this book, the editors present insightful contributions on
these and other domains currently being intensively explored,
written by renowned researchers in the respective fields of
software evolution. Each chapter presents the state of the art in a
particular topic, as well as the current research, available tool
support and remaining challenges. The book is complemented by a
glossary of important terms used in the community, a reference list
of nearly 1,000 papers and books and tips on additional resources
that may be useful to the reader (reference books, journals,
standards and major scientific events in the domain of software
evolution and datasets).This book is intended for all those
interested in software engineering, and more particularly, software
maintenance and evolution. Researchers and software practitioners
alike will find in the contributed chapters an overview of the most
recent findings, covering a broad spectrum of software evolution
topics. In addition, it can also serve as the basis of graduate or
postgraduate courses on e.g., software evolution, requirements
engineering, model-driven software development or social
informatics.
