Consequently, there is a need to assess the impact of these changes on existing software systems. For many users, technology is no longer the main problem, and it is likely to become a progressively smaller problem as standard solutions are provided by technology vendors. Instead, research will focus on the interface of the software with business practices. There exists a need to raise the level of abstraction further by analyzing and predicting the impact of changes at the specification level. In this research, we present a lightweight approach to identify the impact of requirement changes at the specification level. We use specification information included in use case maps to analyze the potential impact of requirement changes on a system.","PeriodicalId":179452,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Workshop on Software Evolvability (Software-Evolvability'05)","volume":"187 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115652310","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It reasons that such evolution is a natural phenomenon having major safety, reliability and economic impact on computer usage. In the context of growing computer application, the phenomenon and its significance as this technology is ever more widely exploited are becoming increasingly apparent. Many evolution properties identified are also present in the wider context. But as demonstrated in the next section their impact is more profound in the field of software development, application and maintenance than in other fields. The present paper is restricted to the software areas.","PeriodicalId":179452,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Workshop on Software Evolvability (Software-Evolvability'05)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117284426","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lehman's laws of software evolution look at how a system changes over time. The current set of laws is now accepted as fundamental to the teaching and understanding of software engineering. This paper describes the terms \"learning\", \"growth\" and \"evolution\" from a biological perspective with a view to using and applying these ideas to an initial framework for the categorisation of software. The purpose is to classify software systems and thus understand more about their behaviour and characteristics.","PeriodicalId":179452,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Workshop on Software Evolvability (Software-Evolvability'05)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132754233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We believe that the self-modeling systems that we have built using wrappings may be able to manage their own evolution to some extent. In a wrapping-based system, the design decisions are visible in the resource definitions, with the associated context assumptions, so it is much easier to change them. We expect such a system to build and examine models of its environment, and its behavior in the environment, to check them against the specifications that define the assumptions about the use of the system, so it can call for help when they are violated. We also think we can build the system to make the changes itself in some cases. In particular, there is a class of system change causes that are known to the original system designers (usually based on uncertainties about the environment or the current state of hardware components), and the system can be built with enough information to react to those changes accordingly.","PeriodicalId":179452,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Workshop on Software Evolvability (Software-Evolvability'05)","volume":"499 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125395441","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper broaches the issue of how naming practices in software evolution may significantly impact software maintenance and evolvability. We explore how naming in the realm of software is unlike naming of other types of phenomena to which we apply usual human naming practices. Such naming practices have been naively generalized to the realm of software. In the software realm, naming practices have been co-opted for political roles in reification as well as in the mobilization of commitment and resources.","PeriodicalId":179452,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Workshop on Software Evolvability (Software-Evolvability'05)","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114419087","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Evolvability in software systems may arise from engineering and/or self-organising processes. We describe our 'conditional growth' simulation model of software evolution and show how it can be used to investigate evolvability from a self-organisation perspective. The model is derived from the Bak-Sneppen family of 'self-organised criticality' simulations. It shows good qualitative agreement with Lehman's 'laws of software evolution' and reproduces phenomena that have been observed empirically. The model suggests interesting predictions about the dynamics of evolvability and implies that much of the observed variability in software evolution can be accounted for by comparatively simple self-organising processes.","PeriodicalId":179452,"journal":{"name":"IEEE International Workshop on Software Evolvability (Software-Evolvability'05)","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134479700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
