Guest Editorial: Software Evolution [pdf]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Modern society depends heavily on software systems. Software can enable or even accelerate human, social, economic, and technological changes. Software systems must often reflect these changes to adequately fulfill their roles and remain relevant to stakeholders, but the number of new requirements and maintenance requests often grows faster than software owners' abilities to implement them. Evolving and maintaining these systems is therefore critical and, consequently, most developers work on maintaining, incrementally enhancing, and adapting existing systems.
