KIS principle is a popular maxim calling upon the Simplicité in any thing.

Its traditional extension Acronyme is (in English) “ Keep it Simple, Stupid ” or “ Keep It Sweet & Simple ” or “ Keep It Short & Simple ”.

It is mainly used as principle of development of Logiciel S, to recall to the developers which a simple program is easier to maintain and to include/understand.

One can give an illustration of it through the principle of the Rasoir of Occam or as Albert Einstein as a warning indicated it: “One should all make as simple as possible, but not more”.

“Simplicity is the supreme sophistication” also supported Léonard de Vinci in his alternative of the razor of Occam, reducing the need for sophistication by equalizing it to simplicity.

According to, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: “It seems that the perfection is reached not when there is nothing any more to add, but when there is nothing any more to cut off”.
