6 Pg 305 2. What is a data flow diagram? Why do systems analysts use data flow diagrams? Answers: A picture of the movement of data between external entities and the processes and data stores within a system. Systems analysts use DFDs to help in the analysis phase by accomplishing the following three things: 1. Requirements Determination 2. Requirements Structuring 3. Alternative Generation and Selection 3. Explain the rules for drawing good data flow diagrams. Answers: Process: A. No process

Several devices having its own cable that connects to a central hub‚ or sometimes a switch‚ or even a Multi-station Access Unit (MAU). Data passes through the hub to reach other devices on the network. Ring Information is passed from one computer to another in either clock-wise direction or counter clock-wise direction and

Component Diagram Notations The component diagram’s main purpose is to show the structural relationships between the components of a system. In addition‚ component diagrams are useful communication tools for various groups. In creating a component diagram‚ there are different notations that can be used to show the different relationship of each component within the system. The component diagram notation set now makes it one of the easiest UML diagrams to draw: * COMPONENT A component can

USE-CASE DIAGRAM EXERCISE 1. Draw a use case diagram for an ATM machine with the following functionality. A customer’s interaction with the system involves logging in‚ making withdrawal requests‚ deposit requests‚ and balance inquiry requests. If the customer logs in‚ there is a possibility (although rare) that the system will confiscate the card (for example‚ if the login is incorrect or if the bank determines that the customer’s balance is significantly under zero). Card confiscation involves

Free-body diagrams are diagrams used to show the relative magnitude and direction of all forces acting upon an object in a given situation. A free-body diagram is a special example of the vector diagrams that were discussed in an earlier unit. These diagrams will be used throughout our study of physics. The size of the arrow in a free-body diagram reflects the magnitude of the force. The direction of the arrow shows the direction that the force is acting. Each force arrow in the diagram is labeled

Functional Decomposition Diagram An analyst first must understand an organization’s business functions before he or she can begin developing information systems. The functional decomposition diagram (FDD) is a business planning tool that depicts the hierarchy of business functions‚ processes‚ and subprocesses within an organization that are later described in detail using process models (chapter 6). The exercise of breaking down‚ or decomposing‚ the business functions into processes makes complex

The Iron-Carbon Diagram There are two iron-carbon equilibrium diagrams: - stable iron-graphite Fe-Gr - metastable iron-cementite Fe-Fe3C The stable condition usually takes a very long time to develop. The metastable diagram is of more interest. Fe3C iron carbide called cementite because it is hard. Following phases exist on Fe-Fe3C diagram: - liquid solution of iron and carbon (L) - ferrite ( ) – an interstitial solid solution of carbon in Fe (bcc). At room temperature ferrite is ductile but
