We consider the problem of designing the top-level modular structure of an implementation. Our starting point is a formal specification of the system. Our approach is to analyse the references to the state variables by the operations of the system. Operations that reference/modify similar sets of variables are likely candidates for grouping into a module. We evaluate the strategy by applying it to a large Z specification of a language-based editor.
