Hierarchical Modularization

This requirement is logically equivalent to the requirement that if a malfunction does not belong to a certain category, then it does not belong to any subcategory of it. 

Together, these decomposition approaches argue for combining functional, goal, and structural perspectives of the plant, as needed, in constructing interpretation systems. With any of these hierarchical approaches, each node in the hierarchy can be construed to define a localized interpreter.

Principles and types of modular series have been summarized in a book by Ferraris et al. (2004). A hierarchical classification of structure has been introduced as well as the application of modularity to structure description and modelling. The order/disorder theory has been presented as fundamental to developing a systematic theory of polytypism, dealing with structures based on both ordered and disordered stacking of one or more layers. The structures of a great number of compounds (minerals, complex oxides, salts, etc.) have been described and discussed. 

The hierarchical code organization is illustrated in Fig. 18.3. This is by code series and then individual codes. ADAS provides extensive Fortran and IDL subroutine libraries which are available for use in a user s own codes and analysis programs. The IDL subroutines support the user s interface to interactive ADAS and graphical presentation of results. Modular basic atomic calculation routines, utilities and access routines to the ADAS data classes are mostly provided in Fortran but generally with IDL versions which use the Fortran through C wrappers. In particular reaEadf .pro and run-adas.pro IDL procedures give access to ADAS data or run ADAS codes at the IDL command line - independent of interactive ADAS. The libraries now include 700 subroutines.

When the coordination bonds that hold these assemblies together are both stable and inert, their formation from the components occurs under kinetic rather than thermodynamic control and it is thus disputable if they can be truly defined as supramolecular systems. On the other hand, owing to their kinetic stability, some of these species can be further exploited as building blocks in the construction of higher order architectures through a hierarchical self-assembly approach (see for example the molecular sandwiches 13-15). Through this modular approach, multichromophore systems become easily accessible on demand, with a limited synthetic effort.

FPTN Is a method of studying and expressing failure behaviour of complex systems. Uses a modular and hierarchical diagrammatic notation to express input and output failures of modules, as well as internal handling mechanisms for failures. No detailed method is published. Method is only suitable for summarising failure information that has been derived using other techniques.
