A large portion of engineering at scale involves task decomposition. Task decomposition as a skill in a work environment is everywhere. Are there any books or research papers that have exclusively investigated this process?
Review/look at anything that has an abstraction / implimentation aspect (aka protocols / specifications / design implimentations / public "source material") .<p>Examine how things are stratified (deterministic vs. context sensitive 'deterministic group(s)' -- and what influences determinism/context sensitivity). aka iso/osi network communications model[4].<p>Keep in mind K.I.S.S. / occam's rasor philosophies!<p>--------<p>a) pick just a single logical plane/level to look at within a design stack.
aka -> database & sql; database & hard drive storage; hard drive storage layout (OS vs. drive physical layout & drive storage/reterival (scsi vs. non-scsi api)<p>a) Any foundations of math class.<p>b) Simple physics problems with single logical type that be described by math eqation(s). aka no multivariate analysis.<p>c) "LISP: A Lanaguage For Stratified Design"(1987)[0] by H. Abelson and G. Sussman.
