Java software to provide technology supporting template-driven Ant-based build systems, dependency analysis, IDE integration and much more for large projects composed of many modules/sub-projects.
The degree to which a system of programs is developed in relatively independent components, some of which may be eliminated if a reduced version of the program is acceptable.
Referring to an implant system where a specific component is made up of two or more detachable parts.
The concept that a program should be broken into components, each of which supplies a particular function or capability.
Dividing a system up into chunks or modules of a relatively uniform size. See also Cohesion, Coupling.

the structure of a service or system that enables the buyer to choose specific individual functions or a total, all-in-one solution.
In some systems it is advantageous to use multiple inverters. These can be connected in parallel to service different loads. Manual load switching is sometimes provided to allow one inverter to meet critical loads in case of failure. This added redundancy increases system reliability.
Those attributes of a system that provide a structure of highly cohesive modules with optimum coupling.
An approach to developing hardware or software that breaks projects into smaller units (or modules) that are deliberately designed as standalone units that can work with other sections of the program. The same module can perform the same task in another or several other programs or components. Modifying the way that module works will have no adverse affects on the other components of a program.
division of a program into units (modules) which have a well defined interface. modules are building blocks for a program.
The extent to which software is composed of discrete components such that a change to one component has minimal impact on other components.
The division of a system into "loosely-coupled" components, connected by pre-specified interfaces¤. See also "encapsulation¤"
Modularity is a concept that has applications in the contexts of computer science, particularly programming, as well as cognitive science in investigating the structure of mind. A module can be defined variously, but generally must be a component of a larger system, and operate within that system independently from the operations of the other components.
