Software evolution draws its complexity from a variety of factors, including extensibility, maintainability, and the difficulty of changing a program's design. It is widely accepted that even well-designed object-oriented programs can become brittle as they evolve, because their design has to be fixed at some point, and the more their implementation has progressed, the more difficult it becomes to adjust object interfaces and relationships. We assert that the complexity of software evolution can be reduced by relaxing strong encapsulation and information hiding, and introducing concepts such as continuous information flow. These principles are captured in harmony-oriented programming, a paradigm inspired by concepts of Asian philosophy, such as harmony, resonance, and fields of interactions. This paper illustrates the constructs of harmony-oriented programming and several studies aimed at showing that, in comparison with traditional object-oriented programming, harmony-oriented programming is a more suitable approach for dealing with software evolution effectively.
