A workshop at the 23rd IEEE/ACM Intl. Conf. on Automated Software Engineering
L’Aquila, Italy, 15-16 September 2008
Organized by the ERCIM Working Group on Software Evolution
Research in software evolution and evolvability has been thriving in the past years, with a constant stream of new formalisms, tools, techniques, and development methodologies trying, on the one hand, to facilitate the way long-lived successful software systems can be changed in order to cope with demands from users and the increasing complexity and volatility of the contexts in which such systems operate, and, on the other hand, to understand and if possible control the processes by which demand for these changes come about.
Registration for the workshop is now open. Workshop registration entitles participants to two lunches, workshop dinner and the digital proceedings.
