TMDE Task 05, Information Dynamics. MAIDS Study System Organization Technology.
Abstract
System organization is an issue which relates to how one should design software systems that will be able to take advantage of differing underlying machine organizations and be adaptable to meet changing real world requirements. The problem of organizing systems in this way is essentially a problem of modular software design. This report contains a discussion of modularity as a method for organizing software systems so that they are sufficiently adaptable to satisfy these requirements. Discussed are the nature of modularity, including a deeper look into the effects of purpose on modular decomposition, an identification of the many problems associated with the design and implementation of a modular system, modularization techniques and an identification of technological gaps.
