Download or read book Managed Software Evolution written by Ralf Reussner and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-06-26 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book presents the outcomes of the “Design for Future – Managed Software Evolution” priority program 1593, which was launched by the German Research Foundation (“Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)”) to develop new approaches to software engineering with a specific focus on long-lived software systems. The different lifecycles of software and hardware platforms lead to interoperability problems in such systems. Instead of separating the development, adaptation and evolution of software and its platforms, as well as aspects like operation, monitoring and maintenance, they should all be integrated into one overarching process. Accordingly, the book is split into three major parts, the first of which includes an introduction to the nature of software evolution, followed by an overview of the specific challenges and a general introduction to the case studies used in the project. The second part of the book consists of the main chapters on knowledge carrying software, and cover tacit knowledge in software evolution, continuous design decision support, model-based round-trip engineering for software product lines, performance analysis strategies, maintaining security in software evolution, learning from evolution for evolution, and formal verification of evolutionary changes. In turn, the last part of the book presents key findings and spin-offs. The individual chapters there describe various case studies, along with their benefits, deliverables and the respective lessons learned. An overview of future research topics rounds out the coverage. The book was mainly written for scientific researchers and advanced professionals with an academic background. They will benefit from its comprehensive treatment of various topics related to problems that are now gaining in importance, given the higher costs for maintenance and evolution in comparison to the initial development, and the fact that today, most software is not developed from scratch, but as part of a continuum of former and future releases.

Download or read book Software Evolution and Feedback written by Nazim H. Madhavji and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-08-30 with total page 612 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Evolution of software has long been recognized as one of the most problematic and challenging areas in the field of software engineering, as evidenced by the high, often up to 60-80%, life-cycle costs attributed to this activity over the life of a software system. Studies of software evolution are central to the understanding and practice of software development. Yet it has received relatively little attention in the field of software engineering. This book focuses on topics aimed at giving a scientific insight into the aspect of software evolution and feedback. In summary, the book covers conceptual, phenomenological, empirical, technological and theoretical aspects of the field of software evolution - with contributions from the leading experts. This book delivers an up-to-date scientific understanding of what software evolution is, to show why it is inevitable for real world applications, and it demonstrates the role of feedback in software development and maintenance. The book also addresses some of the phenomenological and technological underpinnings and includes rules and guidelines for increased software evolvability and, in general, sustainability of the evolution process. Software Evolution and Feedback provides a long overdue, scientific focus on software evolution and the role of feedback in the software process, making this the indispensable guide for all software practitioners, researchers and managers in the software industry.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The software development ecosystem is constantly changing, providing a constant stream of new tools, frameworks, techniques, and paradigms. Over the past few years, incremental developments in core engineering practices for software development have created the foundations for rethinking how architecture changes over time, along with ways to protect important architectural characteristics as it evolves. This practical guide ties those parts together with a new way to think about architecture and time.
Download or read book Decentralized Software Evolution written by and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We define decentralized software evolution as the ability to evolve software independent of the original software vendor. Decentralized software evolution (DSE) provides a means for third-party software vendors to customize existing applications for particular domains and customers. This capability benefits everyone involved: the original application vendor sells more product since customization constitutes use; the third-party developer delivers a product in less time and with lower cost by reusing software instead of starting from scratch; and the customer receives a higher quality product in less time and with lower cost. Although reliable, rapid, and cost effective software evolution has been a principal concern of software research since the 1970's, results to date do not directly address DSE. The principles and techniques of software evolution anticipation of change, separation of concerns, modularity, information hiding, object-oriented design, mediator-based design, adaptive object-oriented design, design patterns, aspect-oriented design, etc. help design evolvable software systems. Unfortunately, the flexibility attained using these techniques is lost when the application is compiled for use. The compilation process solidifies the plasticity of a design, making it exceedingly difficult to accommodate a change that would otherwise be easy to make. The objective of DSE is to preserve the design's plasticity in the deployed system, thereby enabling third-party evolution.

Download or read book Transactions on Aspect Oriented Software Development V written by and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-06-18 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The LNCS journal Transactions on Aspect-Oriented Software Development is devoted to all facets of aspect-oriented software development (AOSD) techniques in the context of all phases of the software life cycle, from requirements and design to implementation, maintenance and evolution. The focus of the journal is on approaches for systematic identification, modularization, representation and composition of crosscutting concerns, i.e., the aspects and evaluation of such approaches and their impact on improving quality attributes of software systems. This volume, the fifth in the Transactions on Aspect-Oriented Software Development series, contains three papers submitted through the regular channel, and three papers on the special focus area of aspects, dependencies and interactions. The first two papers concentrate on applications of AOSD to the fields of scheduling of web applications and operations research, respectively, while the third paper applies the technique of bisimulation to aspect-oriented languages. The special focus area on aspects, dependencies and interactions is introduced by the guest editors Ruzanna Chitchyan, Johan Fabry, Shmuel Katz, and Arend Rensink.
Download or read book Multi dimensional Separation of Concerns in Hyperspace written by International Business Machines Corporation. Research Division and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 11 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Despite the well-known benefits of separation of concerns, and despite the presence of mechanisms to achieve separation of concerns in all modern software formalisms, software artifacts continue to exhibit properties associated with poor separation of concerns. Comprehensibility degrades over time; impact of change is high; reuse and traceability are limited. We have hypothesized that these limitations are largely caused by the 'tyranny of the dominant decomposition:' existing languages and formalisms generally provide only one, 'dominant' dimension along which to separate concerns -- e.g., by object or by function. Achieving many software engineering goals depends on the ability to separate all concerns of importance. We therefore introduced the notion of multi-dimensional separation of concerns: simultaneous separation according to multiple, potentially overlapping concerns. This paper explores the structure of the space of concerns, to which we refer as hyperspace, partially formalizing our earlier model. We discuss how the model facilitates the identification and encapsulation of those portions of a system pertaining to a given concern, whether or not that concern is 'dominant, ' and how it helps identify, introduce, change and remove concerns during evolution. We also show how this approach promotes two crucial aspects of evolvability: traceability and limited impact of change."

This book was released on 2014-10-16 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concern identification aims to find the implementation of a functional concern in existing source code. In this work, concerns are described, using the Hierarchic Concern Model, as gray-boxes containing subconcerns, inputs, and outputs. The inputs and outputs are used as concern seeds to identify data-oriented abstractions of concern implementations, called concern skeletons. The identification approach is based on context free language reachability and supported by a tool, called CoDEx.
