Software evolution is the process of software change, most often change in software requirements. This paper presents a theoretical model for the evolution of component‐based software, based on evolving interoperation graphs. The model assumes that each change consists of smaller granularity steps of change propagation, each of them being a visit to one specific component. If the component is modified, it may no longer fit with the other components because it may no longer properly interact with them. In that case secondary changes must be made in neighboring components, which may trigger additional changes, etc. The paper contains an example of evolution of a calendar program, represented in UML.
