ESDDM: A Software Evolution Process Model Based on Evolution Behavior Interface

According to “Software processes are software too” proposed by L.Osterweil, we assume a software process model with independent functions as a component. To fully describe the evolution behavior of process-based components, the concept of evolution behavior interface is introduced and a Petri net based ESDDM model is discussed. By applying on a realistic case, we conclude that ESDDM, a software evolution process model based on evolution behavior interface, is able to effectively support the concurrent engineering.
