abstract = {Since GalileoÕs statement ("What is not measurable
make measurable" 1564 Ð 1642) it has been a major
goal in science to quantify observations as a way to
understand and control the underlying causes. With
the growing awareness that evolution is a key aspect
of software, a number of computer scientists have
been investigating how metrics can be applied to
evolving software artifacts. This paper provides a
classification of the various approaches that use
metrics to understand and control the software
evolution process, gives concrete examples for each
of the approaches, and identifies topics that require
further research. As such, we expect that this paper
will stimulate this emerging research area.},
