Developer :: The Need :: Simple

▶Making ‘Simplicity’ Quantifiable

▶Overcome multi-discipline knowhow

▶Focus on product, minimize unnecessary

8November 11, 2015

Developer :: The Need :: Simple

A. Absolute

B. Scaled

Simplified to the level an operation is avoided, seamless or, trivial and unnoticeable

Complexity is scaled to the capabilities of the typical target user; Overall good experience

C. Relative Lower compared to expectation. Either in comparison to same type of product, former generation of same product or similar task

D. Full Proof Though complex, a complete decision tree ensures no option uncovered; Troubleshooting

F. ComplexHigh complexity ; limited information ; many steps ; hard to follow procedure etc .

Developer :: The Need :: Simple

▶Standard adherence APIs (where applicable, e.g. networking)

▶Standard resembling APIs (e.g. file system, applications)

▶No APIs for uncommon or complex tasks (e.g. TLS, PHY)

Case Study

▶Is switch client? server?

▶Is communication IP based?

▶Is it local? Cloud-based?

▶Optimization goal

Optimize energy of the switch to allow battery

operated switch while guaranteeing latency

constraint.

Case 1

Optimize overall system energy under given latency constraint for a network with N switch + bulb pairs.

Case 2

Optimize overall system energy under given

latency constraint for a network with N switch

+ bulb pairs.

Case 3
