Simplicity Considered Fundamental to Design for Predictability
Complexity is the core problem of contemporary information technology, as the “artificial complicatedness” of its artefacts is exploding. Intellectually easy and economically feasible predictability can be achieved by selecting simplicity as fundamental design principle. Predictability of system behaviour is identified as the central concept for the design of real-time and embedded systems, sin...
متن کاملNotch signaling: simplicity in design, versatility in function.
Notch signaling is evolutionarily conserved and operates in many cell types and at various stages during development. Notch signaling must therefore be able to generate appropriate signaling outputs in a variety of cellular contexts. This need for versatility in Notch signaling is in apparent contrast to the simple molecular design of the core pathway. Here, we review recent studies in nematode...
متن کاملMechanical design in arteries.
The most important mechanical property of the artery wall is its non-linear elasticity. Over the last century, this has been well-documented in vessels in many animals, from humans to lobsters. Arteries must be distensible to provide capacitance and pulse-smoothing in the circulation, but they must also be stable to inflation over a range of pressure. These mechanical requirements are met by st...
متن کاملMechanical Design in Organisms
In recent years important advances in the physiology and biochemistry of the musculoskeletal system have allowed major contributions to the understanding of function and disease. Unfortunately, many of the people interested in studying organisms at an extremely basic level, as well as those involved in the treatment of disease processes of the skeletal system, frequently fail to grasp the impor...
متن کاملSimplicity.
Perhaps the most famous equation in science is E = mc2; it also represents one of the best-known scientific insights. But why does Einstein’s equation about the conservation of energy enjoy such popularity? Is it because it is easily and instinctively understood, or because it is widely taught in schools? I doubt that either explanation is true; rather, its appeal is its elegant simplicity with...
