Method of designing the modular structure of the information system

Abstract

The overwhelming majority of modern information systems are built on the basis of a modular principle. This principle involves the creation of independent software subsystems that perform separate groups of tasks. The success of building an information system depends on the quality of the division of tasks into groups. Known approaches to modular partitioning are based on the organizational structure of the enterprise and job descriptions of employees. This leads to unmanaged intermodular connections and loss of the advantages of the modular approach (flexibility, interchangeability of modules, etc.). To solve this problem, the article proposes a new method for designing a modular structure of information systems based on the analysis of information and information flows. This allows minimizing inter-module communications and building systems that are independent of the organizational structure of the enterprise.
