Normalized Systems

Breaking software barriers


NS Application Development relies on 4 principles, based on engineering concepts such as system theoretic stability and thermodynamic entropy, to create evolvable software.

Data Version
Transparency

Data structures can have multiple versions without affecting the processing functions that consume or produce them.

Action Version
Transparency

It should be possible to upgrade a processing function without affecting processing functions that call it.

Separation
of Concerns

A processing function should not address more than one concern and should thus not include more than one task.

Separation
of States

Tasks should clearly expose the state of their execution, so that errors can be correctly attributed to their causes.
