Cause-Based Model of Software Evolution
Miroslav Sabo · Acta Electrotechnica et Informatica · 2011
Domain-specific languages are used to develop highly specialized software.From the implementation perspective, evolution of such software can not utilize evolutionary methods used for software developed in a traditional way.This paper presents the model of evolution, considering the software system as a composition of two separate parts -domain-specific language reflecting the application environment and system by itself reflecting the actual solution to a specified problem.The process of evolution is driven in accordance to the nature of evolutionary change.The paper also discusses the categorization of changes by cause which induced them.
