Abstract :
A description is given of the ADISSA methodology for the architectural design of information systems, which extends structured analysis methodology and utilizes modified hierarchical data-flow diagrams (DFDs). This permits design of the major system components: a menu-tree interface, the system transaction, the input-output schema, and the database schema. ADISSA PC-based tools support the methodology and assist the analyst/designer in carrying out the various stages and tasks. The tools include: a DFD drawer, a DFD analyzer, a menu-tree designer, a transactions designer, a data dictionary, and a data-store-to-database-scheme connector
