ABSTRACT:
Information is extracted from a redevelopment database having relational information for software programs or files, and placed in files which are subsequently used with user provided parameters, entered through a user interface, by a partitioner. The partitioner uses a two stage process to grow a partition, beginning with the first stage which involves addition and deletion of programs and files from the partition based upon a score which represents the importance of the number of connections that a program or file has in the partition and the number of connections a program or file has in the partition in relation to the programs or files total number of connections. Once a partition with a minimum number of programs or files has been reached, stage two is executed. Stage 2 continues to grow the partition until a partition with a maximum number of programs or files has been reached. This is accomplished by first adding those programs or files which have a specified percentage of their connections in the stage 1 generated partition. If this does not produce a partition with the maximum number of programs, by adding those programs or files to the partition which have a percentage of connections to programs or files currently contained in the partition and a percentage of connections to programs or files contained in partitions which were previously generated. This process is repeated, generating multiple partitions which have minimized connections to each of the other partitions generated.
