Abstract
Software systems need to be continuously maintained and evolved in order to cope with ever-changing requirements and environments. Introducing these changes without stopping the system is a critical requirement for many software systems. This is especially so when the stop may result in serious damage or monetary losses, hence a mechanism for system change at runtime is needed. With the increase in size and complexity of software systems, software architecture has become the cornerstone in the lifecycle of a software system and constitutes the model that drives the engineering process. Therefore, the evolution of software architecture has been a key issue of software evolution research. Architects have few techniques to help them plan and perform the dynamic evolution of software architecture for real-time systems. Thus, our approach endeavors to capture the essential concepts for modeling dynamic evolution of software architectures, in order to equip the architects with a framework to model this process.
