N1  - This paper describes the development of a methodology and associated measures for assessing control flow and both the implicit and explicit coupling of hierarchical and network models of system designs. The methodology concentrates on the assessment of the intra-module attribute of embeddedness of control flow structures and the inter-module attribute of implicit complexity of module coupling
