This book presents TraceME a traceability-based method for conceptual model evolution whose
general purpose is to support the evolution of information systems. By providing a set of four
TraceME chunks TraceME is situational-oriented. In this way it can be adapted to support
different evolution projects by just assembling the TraceME chunks. To facilitate its
industrial adoption open source tools were developed and described which support the
implementation of the TraceME chunks. The work presented highlights various research endeavors
for the development of methods and techniques to automate the evolution of software systems. It
explores the requirements engineering field as a steppingstone to a successful software
development processes. In 2017 the underlying PhD dissertation won the CAiSE PhD award
granted to outstanding PhD theses in the field of Information Systems Engineering.
