Sometimes, it's not obvious where to draw boundaries between modules, perhaps finding a "smallest cut" (if that is the correct term) could help to minimize the interfaces? I.e. find tightly connected components that have relatively few inbound links.
As in the seeing if a module can be split into sub-modules (i.e. disjoint or nearly disjoint sub-graphs inside the module graph)? I was thinking about something like that a few days ago but had forgotten about it when discussing it with my supervisor. (It doesn't help that he's mainly a C-programmer, and doesn't really understand what I mean when I talk about modules). -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic
