- Understand the concept of code smells and design smells. - Grasp the idea of the "zero line" in software design and its relevance. - Gain an introductory understanding of modular programming and ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a module-based vision for designing BDI-based multi-agent programming languages. The introduced concept of modules enables common programming techniques such as ...

Abstract: Here, in this paper, we survey work on modularity in Genetic Programming GP. The motivation for modularity was driven by research efforts, as we shall see, to make gp programs smaller and ...

Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) complements Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) by providing another way of thinking about program structure. The key unit of modularity in OOP is the class, whereas in ...
