That was the "Extended Description" that I had submitted. The 
original "Abstract" section read:

David Parnas' 1972 seminal paper, "On the criteria to be used in 
decomposing systems into modules", set a milestone in our 
collective understanding of how complex programs should be 
divided into more manageable parts. Over forty years later, I 
have reimplemented in D the example programs presented in the 
paper and came away with insights that are not obvious from a 
more casual reading of that text. In this talk I will 1) present 
the original insight of the paper, using more modern language; 2) 
relate it to current design best practices and 3) argue, with the 
help of my implementation, that D best fulfilled the paper's 
original vision, even surpassing it.
