Assessing physiological complexity.
Physiologists both admire and fear complexity, but we have made relatively few attempts to understand it. Inherently complex systems are more difficult to study and less predictable. However, a deeper understanding of physiological systems can be achieved by modifying experimental design and analysis to account for complexity. We begin this essay with a tour of some mathematical views of comple...
متن کاملAssessing Architectural Complexity
While it is widely agreed that architectural simplicity is a key factor to the success of large software systems, it is not obvious how to measure architectural complexity. Our approach to measuring complexity is based on observation that large systems with a regular substructure are simple to create and maintain, whereas even relatively small systems created in an ad hoc fashion quickly become...
متن کاملAssessing Linguistic Complexity
The question of ”linguistic complexity” is interesting and fruitful. Unfortunately, the intuitive meaning of ”complexity” is not amenable to formal analysis. This paper discusses some proposed definitions and shows how complexity can be assessed in various frameworks. The results show that, as expected, languages are all about equally “complex,” but further that languages can and do differ reli...

متن کاملPhysiological vs. Social Complexity in Software Design
“Complexity” and “crisis” have become synonyms in the (brief) history of Software Engineering. The terms “component,” “decomposition,” “structure” and “architecture” have been associated with methods and techniques proposed over the years to defeat the crisis, from structured programming to object/component-based programming and, more recently, serviceoriented architectures. As the “software cr...
