The paper analyzes voluntary Free Software/Open Source Software (FS/OSS) organization of work. The empirical setting considered is the Debian GNU/Linux operating system. The paper finds that the production process is hierarchical notwithstanding the modular (nearly decomposable) architecture of...

Modular decomposition is a thoroughly investigated topic inmany areas such as switching theory, reliability theory, game theory andgraph theory. We propose an O(mn)-algorithm for the recognition of amodular set of a monotone Boolean function f with m prime implicantsand n variables. Using this...

Modularity is an important concept in evolutionary theorizing but lack of a consistent definition renders study … difficult. Using the generalized NK-model of fitness landscapes, we differentiate modularity from decomposability. Modular and …, while in the latter, subsystems are completely isolated. We derive the optimal level of modularity, which minimizes the time …
