Top down approach[edit]

Decomposition has very much in common with top-down approach. Can one say it's basically the same? --Abdull 09:55, 21 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think decomposition is (just) an important part of the top down approach. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 21:04, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal[edit]

Merging this article with Decomposition (computer science) will best facilitate cooperation between editors in building Wikipedia coverage of these important topics. (sdsds - talk) 21:43, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree and merged the two articles. -- Marcel Douwe Dekker (talk) 21:07, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copy-paste registration[edit]

In this edit text is copy/paste here from the Decomposition paradigm article. -- Mdd (talk) 14:11, 30 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Synonymous with "Programming paradigm"?[edit]

I find that the concept of decomposition paradigm is closely related if not synonymous with that of Programming paradigm. In the latter, a wider description and a list of programming paradigms is provided, so if you agree a link to the "programming paradigm" page could be added under the section "decomposition paradigm" of this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Liberalogica (talk • contribs)

Criticisms[edit]

It would be nice if someone (maybe me someday) would describe criticisms of using this for elaborating use cases/architectures. I've read repeatedly to avoid this kind of analysis for software. Here are a couple of references to start: Jeff Axelrod (talk) 22:20, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
