About This Book
In this chapter and the next, the evolutionary paths of the first modular family of computer systems is described. Focus is on how System/360 was created. This story is an extremely well documented instance of an actual modularization; as such, it provides us with important insights as to the kinds of knowledge and actions that underlie the splitting of a large, complex design.
