Abstract :
Evolving software systems can be systematically studied by treating them as networks and employing ideas and techniques from the field of Social Network Analysis. SEANets is an Eclipse plugin that allows the analysis of multiple software versions and the extraction and visualization of network properties required to investigate evolutionary trends of the underlying system.
