There is a sounding question that I started investigating many years ago. The question is: ���How to design software?���. The hard side of this question is that software design and in general software development is fundamentally hard.

As Fred Brooks suggests in his book is: ���Complexity of software is an essential property, not an accidental one���. In other words software development is about managing complexity and the goal of a team is to build the illusion of simplicity.
