Encapsulation theory: the configuration efficiency limit
Edmund Kirwan
TL;DR
This paper introduces a theoretical limit on the configuration efficiency of large software systems based on the maximum number of units per subsystem and the ratio of violating units to total units.
Contribution
It establishes a formal relationship between subsystem size limits, information hiding violations, and configuration efficiency in large-scale software systems.
Findings
Maximum configuration efficiency is constrained by the upper limit on program units per subsystem.
Efficiency depends on the ratio of violating units to total units.
Provides a quantitative measure of configuration efficiency in large software systems.
Abstract
This paper shows how maximum possible configuration efficiency of an indefinitely large software system is constrained by chosing a fixed upper limit to the number of program units per subsystem. It is then shown how the configuration efficiency of an indefinitely large software system depends on the ratio of the total number of informaiton hiding violational software units divided by the total number of program units.
