Zach Tellman explores how older disciplines approach complex systems and what software engineers can learn from them to manage complexity.

We routinely make systems that exceed our ability to understand completely. Instead, we explore pieces at a time – small local de- tails or large global abstractions, but rarely both at once. But soft- ware is far from unique in this; we’re surrounded by physical and social systems that are too big for any one person to understand. This talk is an exploration of how other, older disciplines have approached these problems, and what we as software engineers can learn from them. Forward 4 kicks off in Feb 2015!

Data and Control Abstraction Hi, Are there any resources that explain \`data and control abstraction\` in detail and also talk about their mismatch? I came across this while reading - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/685486.Patterns\_of\_Software. And I found this book through this talk: [video of Zach Tellman.
