Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Simple Introduction to Data and Activity Analysis provides an introduction to the main concepts embodied in the analysis techniques. This book provides a more balanced picture of the methods of the analysis by showing what deliverables are collected as well as how to obtain them. Organized into eight chapters, this book begins with an overview of some of the activities that need to be done to analyze the business and some of the end and intermediate deliverables produced by these activities. This text then explains how to get the activity analysis deliverables. Other chapters consider the causes and effects of problems in business. This book discusses as well how activities can be decomposed or broken down into more and more detailed activities, using the techniques of activity decomposition and data flow diagramming. The final chapter deals with the methods of analysis that show how different types of input could be converted into the data and activity models. This book is a valuable resource for computer programmers.

Book excerpt: Computer Weekly Professional Series: Data modeling and Process modeling: Using the Most Popular Methods focuses on the processes, methodologies, and approaches employed in data modeling and process modeling. The book first offers information on data modeling, how to do data modeling, and process modeling. Discussions focus on diagrammatic representation, main concepts of process modeling, merging the models, refining the data model, diagrammatic techniques, fundamental rules of data modeling, and other deliverables of data modeling. The text then examines how to do process modeling and improving a system using analysis deliverables. Topics include problems, causes and effects, events, obligations and objectives, verification methods, and refining the results. The manuscript reviews elementary activities, including structured text and access paths, updating the data model from the access paths and structured English, and other useful detailed deliverables of an elementary activity. The publication is a valuable source of data for researchers interested in data modeling and process modeling.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Design Methods for Reactive Systems describes methods and techniques for the design of software systems—particularly reactive software systems that engage in stimulus-response behavior. Such systems, which include information systems, workflow management systems, systems for e-commerce, production control systems, and embedded software, increasingly embody design aspects previously considered alone—such as complex information processing, non-trivial behavior, and communication between different components—aspects traditionally treated separately by classic software design methodologies. But, as this book illustrates, the software designer is better served by the ability to intelligently pick and choose from among a variety of techniques according to the particular demands and properties of the system under development. Design Methods for Reactive Systems helps the software designer meet today's increasingly complex challenges by bringing together specification techniques and guidelines proven useful in the design of a wide range of software systems, allowing the designer to evaluate and adapt different techniques for different projects. Written in an exceptionally clear and insightful style, Design Methods for Reactive Systems is a book that students, engineers, teachers, and researchers will undoubtedly find of great value. Shows how the techniques and design approaches of the three most popular design methods can be combined in a flexible, problem-driven manner. Pedagogical features include summaries, rehearsal questions, exercises, discussion questions, and numerous case studies.
