This study examined how communicated information about the execution of large software systems evolves over time. The researchers analyzed log data from multiple releases of an enterprise application to identify six types of modifications to communicated information: rephrasing, adding information, deleting information, diverging, merging, and redundant information. They found that most modifications could have been avoided and that short-lived communicated information often contained low-level implementation details. The study concluded that communicated information grows and changes over releases, and documenting and tracking these evolution is important for maintaining log processing applications.
