Abstract
A method of software evolution, software evolution system and program product therefor. A context specification handler stores context specifications describing requirements on context-adapted software. A Software Part Semantics Specification (SPSS) handler stores software part semantics specifications. A Software Implementation (SI) handler stores SIs. Behavior History handler stores a history of active software behavior analysis results of monitoring previous versions. A software rendering handler combines software behavior history with context specification, software part semantics specifications and SIs and distributes (and optionally deploys) context-adapted software. A software inspector continuously monitors context behavior of deployed versions and selectively identifies active context-adapted software failing to satisfy context specification for reassembly of a new version(s).
