In this paper, we address the problem of modeling co-evolving peers in communities over time. Our motivation comes from the area of software and schema evolution; however, we generalize our modeling to cover communities of peer entities in general, evolving over discrete time beats, with quantifiable measurements of behavior. Furthermore, we demonstrate how our modeling can facilitate the visualization, comprehension, and automated analysis of the lives of such communities
