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. 606 $aComputer software$xDevelopment 606 $aSoftware engineering 615 0$aComputer software$xDevelopment. 615 0$aSoftware engineering. 676 $a004 676 $a005.1 676 $a005.7 676 $a005.74 702 $aMens$b Tom 702 $aSerebrenik$b Alexander 702 $aCleve$b Anthony 801 0$bMiFhGG 801 1$bMiFhGG 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299051603321 996 $aEvolving Software Systems$92232983 997 $aUNINA
