👉 Formation computing, also known as formation or formation-based computing, is a computational paradigm that focuses on the design and implementation of computational systems around the concept of "formations," which are abstract, high-level structures that encapsulate both data and behavior. In this approach, computational problems are decomposed into a hierarchy of formations, each representing a different level of abstraction. Lower-level formations handle raw data and basic operations, while higher-level formations manage complex interactions and processes. This modularity allows for greater flexibility, reusability, and scalability in software development, as formations can be composed, combined, and adapted to solve a wide range of problems. By emphasizing the composition of these formations, formation computing facilitates the creation of robust, maintainable, and efficient software systems that can evolve over time.
