This book explains and outlines the use of hierarchical abstraction for project development. The author details the need for effective strategies for project development and provides a thorough explanation of hierarchical abstraction. The book instructs readers on how they may apply this method of organizing information or concepts into a layered structure in order to make ideas more manageable. The author then explains how this process also simplifies the representation and analysis of information, allowing readers to extract meaning and identify relationships within a system. The book shows how hierarchical abstraction can also be implemented for more effective disbursement of information. The author includes extensive discussion of the applications for a variety of fields, including computer science, information architecture, and cognitive psychology.
