SSADM (Structured Systems Analysis and Design Method) is the government's standard method for systems analysis. This book describes the structural framework and techniques of SSADM, its application in an organization, and the way in which it relates to current issues faced by systems developers.

This timely guide gives readers a solid understanding of the latest SSADM Standards. Includes coverage of analysis and design, stages and tasks, and specification of requirements.

For the last two decades, IS researchers have conducted empirical studies leading to better understanding of the impact of Systems Analysis and Design methods in business, managerial, and cultural contexts. SA & D research has established a balanced focus not only on technical issues, but also on organizational and social issues in the information society.This volume presents the very latest, state-of-the-art research by well-known figures in the field. The chapters are grouped into three categories: techniques, methodologies, and approaches.

This text integrates traditional methodologies with modern technology. An update of the classic material on structured analysis.

This book describes the data flow diagram approach, which is considered to be the most popular method available for system analysis and design. This method is useful for the development of systems on micro as well as on mini/mainframe computers. It wiil also prove to be a useful book to those who wish to develop computerised systems for business applications using the data flow approach.

Perhaps the first "how-to" book in its field, Object-Oriented SSADM shows how to improve the design of large information systems by designing for software re-use, incorporating object-oriented ideas, and adding a graphical user interface. Features simple and straightforward practical examples with illustrations.

Presents system and program design as a disciplined science.
