Abstract :
While software evolution has been studied extensively in software engineering, few of these efforts have involved a systematic exploration of human epistemological attitudes, such as human desire and intention, as the driving force of software service evolution. Our work proposes a theoretical framework to monitor and reason about human intention and its changes, which in turn can be used to determine how software and services should evolve to be individualized and better serve each user. Extending the Situ framework, we explore the service satisfiability problem through sub-world coverage following Kripke semantics, which enjoys wide application in AI and other fields related to human epistemic reasoning.
