Requirements evolution is a research problem that has received little attention hitherto, but deserves much more. For systems to survive in a volatile world, where business needs, government regulations and computing platforms keep changing, software systems must evolve too in order to survive. We discuss the state-of-the-art for research on the topic, and predict some of the research problems that will need to be addressed in the next decade. We conclude with a concrete proposal for a run-time monitoring framework based on (requirements) goal models.
