Design issues in client-server software maintenance

Software requires maintenance because there are often some errors remaining in the system that must be removed as they are discovered. Even without errors, software frequently undergoes change. The main reason is that software must be enhanced to ...
Software evolution and maintenance
FOSE 2014: Future of Software Engineering Proceedings

Successful software requires constant change that is triggered by evolving requirements, technologies, and stakeholder knowledge. This constant change constitutes software evolution. Software evolution has gained steadily in importance and recently ...
Software maintenance like maintenance in other engineering disciplines
FSE 2014: Proceedings of the 22nd ACM SIGSOFT International Symposium on Foundations of Software Engineering

abstract Software maintenance exhibits many differences regarding how other engineering disciplines carry out maintenance on their artifacts. Such dissimilarity is caused due to the fact that it is easy to get a copy from the original artifact to be ...
