Full title :Structured system analysis : a new technique / Barbara F. Medina.

Summary

This book provides guidelines for the analysis of systems. It develops rules for hierarchical placement of subunits and shows how information flow affects the placement of subunits of a system. The determinants contributing to instability of a system are also discussed. The guidelines are developed and the structure of systems are investigated by first defining the terms to be used and then providing a number of theorems about the attributes of systems. The theorem proofs depend solely on the definitions and previously proved theorems. Up to this time, good system design was an art form difficult to communicate to the student and to the professional. The theorems developed in this book provide a more structured framework for the analysis of systems and can lead both the novice and the advanced practitioner through the intricacies of designing systems.
