Large software systems are usually developed through a long time of evolution. The capability to retrieve and visualize the evolution history of the architecture and individual components, and also trace them back to the evolution of functional requirements will significantly help people to understand the system and reduce the cost for the maintenance. This paper demonstrates the functions of capturing, visualizing and propagating the software evolution of a behavior-oriented collaborative environment called "Integrare".Griffith Sciences, School of Information and Communication TechnologyFull Tex
