Trade-offs in the design of cross-disciplinary software systems
نویسندگان
چکیده
Yet, we face the grim reality that a model is a focused representation of the world, and it is always a result of several compromises in terms of details and structure, leading to trade-offs in terms of complexity, flexibility and performance. This trade-off becomes an essential design property. We often wish our models to be as simple as possible, balancing transparency, understandability and level of detail.

متن کاملEthical Perspective: Five Unacceptable Trade-offs on the Path to Universal Health Coverage
This article discusses what ethicists have called “unacceptable trade-offs” in health policy choices related to universal health coverage (UHC). Since the fiscal space is constrained, trade-offs need to be made. But some trade-offs are unacceptable on the path to universal coverage. Unacceptable choices include, among other examples from low-income countries, to expand coverage for services wit...
متن کاملThe "Semantics" of Evolution: Trajectories and Trade-offs in Design Space and Niche Space
This paper 1 attempts to characterise a unifying overview of the practice of software engineers, AI designers, developers of evolutionary forms of computation, designers of adaptive systems, etc. The topic overlaps with theoretical biology, developmental psychology and perhaps some aspects of social theory. Just as much of theoretical computer science follows the lead of engineering intuitions ...
متن کاملAn Architecture for Versatile Dependability
Versatile dependability is a software architecture that aims to quantify the trade-offs among a system’s fault-tolerance, performance and resource requirements, and that provides system-level “knobs” for tuning these trade-offs. We propose a visual representation of the trade-off space of dependable systems, and discuss design principles that allow the tuning of such trade-offs along multiple d...
