Entity-Relationship Diagrams (ERD) Data models are tools used in analysis to describe the data requirements and assumptions in the system from a top-down perspective. They also set the stage for the design of databases later on in the SDLC. There are three basic elements in ER models: Entities are the "things" about which we seek information. Attributes are the data we collect about the entities. Relationships provide the structure needed to draw information from multiple entities. Generally

In most cases this means controlling the points of connectivity to the outside world‚ typically the Internet. Partitioning the boundary between the outside Internet and the internal intranet is a critical security

Circular Flow Diagrams Introduction Money flows into and out of the economy. The circular flow diagram explains how money moves through the economic system involving households‚ businesses‚ the government‚ and foreign agents (Editorial Board‚ 2011). Circular flow diagrams are visual models that show firms who employ workers‚ the workers then spend on goods produced by firms‚ and the money is then used to compensate the worker and buy raw materials to make the goods and the circle continues.

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

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

QUESTION1 Power Problems Alternating current (AC)‚ which is “food” to PCs and other network devices‚ is normally 110 volts and changes polarity 60 times a second (or 60 Hertz). These values are referred to as line voltage. Any deviation from these values can create problems for a PC or other network device. Power problems fall into three categories: * Overage * Underage * Quality Power Overage Problems During a power overage‚ too much power is coming into the computer. Power overage

The Entity Relationship Diagram (ERD) depicts a conceptual data model that incorporates some of the important scientific information about the real world. It adopts a natural view that the real world consists of entities and relations (Chen‚ 1976). One objective of the ERD is to create a simple‚ easy to understand and conveniently presented data model consisting of entities‚ attributes‚ relationships and cardinalities. The model serves as tool for database design‚ where the model can facilitate communication

Using Data Flow Diagrams Data flow diagram is used by system analyst to put together a graphical representation of data processes throughout the organization. It depicts the broadest possible overview of system inputs‚ processes‚ and outputs. A series of layered data flow diagrams may be used to represent and analyze detailed procedures in the larger system. By using combinations of only four symbols‚ the system analyst can create a pictorial depiction of processes that will eventually provide
