Abstract

In a component-based software system the different components communicate with each other through their interfaces, possibly using adapters. Whenever the requirements or the environment change, the component-based software system must be adapted accordingly. We present a method that supports a systematic evolution of component-based software at the architectural level. It is based on operators and modification schemata that help to identify different architectural alternatives to realize the evolution task.
