Abstract

Communication between program modules is a topic of great interest in the design and production of well structured modular systems. Modutea may be thought of as logical components of the system, designed to carry out some tasks. To complete the description of a system we need to specify the connections between modules, “that are the assumptions which the modules make about each other” [1]. Systems in which the connections between modules contain little information are labeled wett atnuctuned and in fact this property is essential to facilitate the changeability of the system and to prove system correctness [2].
