From the reviews:
"This book is based on the author’s Ph.D. thesis accomplished in February 2007 at De Montfort University, UK. It aims to model and describe formal software processes that effectively support software evolution. ... The book is intended for software engineers and researchers in computer science who are interested in evolution of software processes." (G. Bauer, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1161, 2009)
