Programming in the large and programming in the small Programming-in-the-Small", IEEE Trans. on Soft. Eng. 2(2). In computer science terms, "programming in the large" can refer to programming code that represents the high-level state transition logic of a system. This logic encodes information such as when to wait for messages, when to send messages, when to compensate for failed non-ACID transactions, etc. A language that was designed to explicitly support programming in the large is BPEL. In software development, programming in the small describes the activity of writing a small program. Small programs are typified by being small in terms of their source code size, are easy to specify,
