Research on Module Partition and Solution Evaluation Method Based on the Interface Relationship

Abstract

Module division is the basis for product modularization. The rationality of the product module division directly affects the function, performance, development time, cost, general degree of module, convenience of maintenance and so on. A module partition method has been proposed based on the interface relationship of Pros and Cons. It parted the module using fuzzy theory, based on the qualitative hierarchy decomposition of the function, considering the interface depending factors of the parts at the same time in this method. And it introduced "information entropy" concept to evaluate the different module partition schemes, then choose the best module partition scheme. Finally, an example validated the method.
