Conceptual Integrity of Software Systems: Architecture, Abstraction and Algebra
نویسنده
چکیده
Conceptual Integrity has been claimed to be the essence of high-quality software system design. On the other hand, it has been a rather elusive attribute of software systems, challenging various attempts of a clear-cut characterization. This paper evolves in this direction by two means: first, by analysis and clarification of open issues in architecture and abstraction terms; second, by pointing out to a mathematical formulation in algebraic terms. This paper also serves as a broad introduction to discussions on “Conceptual Integrity of Software Systems”.
