The International Workshop on the Principles of Software Evolution, IWPSE99 is organized as a successor of IWPSE98 held in 1998 in conjunction with ICSE98 as a forum for discussing principles and fundamental aspects of software evolution. Software evolution is widely recognized as one of the most important problems in software engineering. Despite the significant amount of work that has been done, there are still fundamental problems to be solved. The purpose of this workshop is to discuss principles and mechanisms for software evolution. Topics discussed include, though not limited to,
principles of evolution:

theories of evolution, computational models, empirical study of evolution, principles of architectural/design/implementation evolution, design methodologies for evolutionary system

mechanisms to support evolution:

adaptation and reconfiguration, language and system constructs, processes/methods/tools for evolution, analysis and reasoning, inconsistency management, change implication and propagation, evolution across families and versions, evolution in network/web-based development.

The workshop is organized by the following organizers:
