Insertion Spaces

Published: 12 July 2017 Publication History

Abstract

Insertion Spaces is the idea of purposefully leaving out empty space between objects to anticipate changes and insertions. These empty spaces can be used to insert further objects or rearrange existing objects. This idea is applicable in many contexts, but in this paper the context of software development and database development is addressed. Especially the calculation of order-values to change the sequence of objects is discussed. This paper primarily targets software engineers but Insertion Spaces can be useful for everyone having to deal with arrangements of objects and wanting to have flexibility in their solutions.
