This new long version of my 1983 paper suggests the goals you might have for your system – Simple, Timely, Efficient, Adaptable, Dependable, Yummy (STEADY) – and techniques for achieving them – Approximate, Incremental, Divide Conquer (AID). It also gives some principles for system design that are more than just hints, and many examples of how to apply the ideas.
