Abstract
We analyze two trends that have influenced the evolvability of component-based applications: increase of component exchangeability and increase of component distance. Exchangeability mechanisms can be classified either as code reuse or as service reuse. Component distance can vary from file scope to Internet scope. We discuss the various stages of evolvability in these dimensions, describe the state of the art, and speculate on future developments.
