Topic

Take the Interface Segregation principle (ISP) and catalog the information on it available on the Web. We didn't cover it in class, but you can look it up on the Web or in the ACM DL. Find good descriptions and good, concise, understandable examples. Tell which you consider the best to present to a class.

Interface Segregation Principle

The Interface Segregation Principle states that "Clients should not be forced to depend upon interfaces that they do not use". ISP deals with the disadvantage of fat interfaces (Classes whose interfaces are not cohesive).

When clients are forced to depend upon interfaces that they don’t use, then those clients are subject to changes to those interfaces. This results in an inadvertent coupling between all the clients. Said another way, when a client depends upon a class that contains interfaces that the client does not use, but that other clients do use, then that client will be affected by the changes that those other clients force upon the class. We would like to avoid such couplings where possible, and so we want to separate the interfaces where possible.
