The Engineer, the Architect and the Flower Arranger: A Model for Software Systems Evolution
نویسنده
چکیده
The term software evolution is often inappropriately used to mean any type of software change. Cynics could argue that, given the current business dismay with expensive and inflexible software, the area of software evolution is more likely to attract research funding than some of the more established research areas now adopting the ‘evolutionary banner’. However, there is an important conceptual difference between evolutionary change, as envisaged in this paper, and engineered change, as embodied by the disciplines of software maintenance and software engineering.

متن کاملIncreasing the Accuracy of Recommender Systems Using the Combination of K-Means and Differential Evolution Algorithms
Recommender systems are the systems that try to make recommendations to each user based on performance, personal tastes, user behaviors, and the context that match their personal preferences and help them in the decision-making process. One of the most important subjects regarding these systems is to increase the system accuracy which means how much the recommendations are close to the user int...
متن کاملIntroduction to Schramm-Loewner evolution and its application to critical systems
In this short review we look at recent advances in Schramm-Loewner Evolution (SLE) theory and its application to critical phenomena. The application of SLE goes beyond critical systems to other time dependent, scale invariant phenomena such as turbulence, sand-piles and watersheds. Through the use of SLE, the evolution of conformally invariant paths on the complex plane can be followed; hence a...
متن کاملDeSyRe: decomposition of systems and their requirements: transition from system to subsystem using a criteria catalogue and systematic requirements refinement
In software systems development, companies try to handle the increasing size and complexity of their systems by signing up different subcontractors for subsystems. For distributed development and smooth integration, a major challenge is to deduce subsystem specifications from system specifications in order to deliver them to the subcontractors. Thereby, thorough requirements engineering lays th...
