Research on evolution information modeling and acquisition for component-based software.

In order to clearly and comprehensively acquire the evolution information for component-based software, effective representation and modeling methods were needed to be provided. This paper analyzed the problems of acquiring the evolution information for component-based software, and proposed a method by adding the evolution information element to the component model. As a result, it could track and manage the change process of component-based software and provided guidance for the software refactoring and software post-development by the support of software configuration management system.
