Abstract
A method for minimizing total cost of interaction among components of a computer program, each of the components being characterized by at least one implementation property includes steps of: a) carrying out at least a partial run of the program; b) monitoring the at least partial run of the program to measure an amount of interaction between each pair of components; c) determining a cost of interaction between each pair of interacting components; d) determining a choice of implementation properties which minimizes total cost of the at least partial run; and e) assigning that choice of implementation properties to the components for a subsequent at least partial run of the program.
