Data Flow Sequences: A Revision of Data Flow Diagrams for Modelling Applications using XML
J. Coleman. International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications(IJACSA), (2013)
Abstract
Data Flow Diagrams were developed in the 1970’s as a method of modelling data flow when developing information systems. While DFDs are still being used, the modern web-based which is client-server based means that DFDs are not as useful. This paper proposes a modified form of DFD that incorporates, amongst other features sequences. The proposed system, called Data Flow Sequences (DFS) is better able to model real world systems in a way that simplifies application development. The paper also proposes an XML implementation for DFS which allows analytical tools to be used to analyse the DFS diagrams. The paper discusses a tool that is able to detect orphan data flow sequences and other potential problems.
