Abstract

This paper presents a graph transformation approach to software architecture evolution. Evolution is inevitable
over the course of the complete life of complex software intensive systems and more importantly of entire product families.
However, not only instance models, but also type models and entire modelling languages are subject to change. Obviously
software architecture is the centerpiece of software systems and acts as reference point for many development activities, and
few of today's software systems are built to accommodate evolution. Evolution is primarily reflected in and facilitated through
the software architecture. In this paper we focus on the different dimensions of architecture evolution with an automated
evolution process of software architecture using graph transformation. The rules for the potential architecture evolutions
operators are defined using AToM3 graph transformation tool.
