SUMMARY:The mythical matched modules: overcoming inflexible software const
 ruction - Stephen Kell (University of Cambridge)

CONTACT:Stephen Kell
DESCRIPTION:Conventional programming tools are designed according to sever
 al harmful and false assumptions: that software necessarily consists of pl
 ug-compatible modules\; that interoperation between software stacks is rar
 e\; that information hiding is a sufficient strategy against coupling. I w
 ill briefly present an alternative vision\, based on tool support for "int
 erface hiding"\, a strongly-enforced separation of concerns between integr
 ation and functionality in software. This will include both argument and (
 some\, preliminary) experimental evidence.\n\nThis is a practice for a (ve
 ry) short talk at the forthcoming Onward! conference.
