Encapsulation theory: the configuration efficiency limit

Software Engineering 2008-11-18 v1

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.
