Simplicity and Elegance in IT

by Haim Kilov

This Executive Report by Haim Kilov shows that simplicity and elegance in IT-related systems -- requested by both casual and business users of such systems -- is possible by means of clearly separating "what the system does" from "how the system works." As Dines Bjørner stated, "elegant, expressive, and revealing specifications" based on a simple and powerful system of concepts that are demonstrably agreed upon by both IT and non-IT experts are essential for designing and building systems that are "pleasing, have utility, and are fit for purpose."
