ABSTRACT
The design phase of the software lifecycle is a major factor to the success of a software system, where the software designer is not expected to conceptualize a large-scale and complex software application as a whole; therefore, it is typical to create a top-level design which decomposes a system into a set of modules.
Software modularity is not a new concept in the software engineering field; it has been a design issue since the earliest days of software development. However, its importance is becoming more prevalent due to today's demand for large-scale complex application.
The decomposition process is an art form and our goal is to reach a systematic approach for producing modularized design based on our requirement analysis methodology.

Sotware modularization using requirements attributes
ACM-SE 42: Proceedings of the 42nd annual Southeast regional conferenceDue to the increasing complexity of today's software applications, design methodologies are of great concern to the software community.

Towards software modularization from requirements
SAC '14: Proceedings of the 29th Annual ACM Symposium on Applied ComputingOne of the most important activities during software design is to organize the software in modules. Once the modularization is well made, it is possible to develop each module independently, the adaption is facilitated and the system can be more easily ...
