Linking design problems and modular solutions

What is it about?

the paper aims at investigating about possible links between specific design problems and modularity types. For that purpose, a new set of modularity definitions is proposed, which overcomes the problems of old definitions. Indeed, the latter are sometimes overlapping and/or partially contradicting each other.

Why is it important?

Because paves the way for modularity-related studies focused on the conceptual phase of the design process. Indeed, early identification of the most suited architecture is acknowledged to be crucial for product success.
