Mike Matuzak on On Criteria To Be Used in Decomposing Systems into Modules

Most people would agree that writing modular programs is better than the alternative, but there is disagreement on how to structure modules within a system. In this presentation we are going to do some time travelin' to the 60s and 70s to see how these discussions got started, and explore two different ways of writing a modular system. In doing this we will explore some of the pros and cons of the different systems and determine if one structure is better for most cases.
