1. What is an Entity Relationship Diagram? An entity relationship diagram is a graphical representation of an organisation’s data storage requirements. Entity relationship diagrams are abstractions of the real world which simplify the problem to be solved while retaining its essential features. Entity relationship diagrams are used to: identify the data that must be captured‚ stored and retrieved in order to support the business activities performed by an organisation; and identify the data required

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

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

as Phase Diagrams By _________________ _________________ Material Science Lab #11 Report Introduction The purpose of this lab is to obtain the cooling curves for tin‚ lead and various alloys of these two metals. A phase diagram will be generated from these cooling curves. When a material is heated by adding energy at a constant rate‚ the temperature of the material will increase linearly with time‚ provided a phase transformation does not occur. As temperature of the sample becomes

Unknown Microorganisms May 1‚ 2013 This paper is based on an experiment done in the laboratory over a period of time using the standard method of identifying an unknown microorganism relying on features such as morphology‚ arrangements and biochemical reactions. It was done in succession with each step complimenting the other. At the end of the experiment three microorganisms Bacillus azotoformans‚ Staphylococcus aureus‚ and Escherichia coli was identified and one result was inconclusive. The

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
