Title: Behaviour and Process Modelling.
Author(s): Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA).
Abstract: This volume (which is part of the Business Systems Development
series) covers the development of entity behaviour models - entity access
matrix, event and enquiry catalogue and entity life histories - which are
used to document the events that can cause the system to undertake
processing and the way in which this affects the data. The volume then goes
on to show how conceptual process models - enquiry access paths and effect
correspondence diagrams - are developed. These document the processing
requirements for the new system and are used as the basis for program
design. Both of these models are seen as fundamental to the design of
computer systems.

Title: The Business Context.
Author(s): Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA).
Abstract: This volume (which is part of the Business Systems Development
series) is concerned with the modelling of the business activities within an
IT project from which an understanding of the requirements for the new
system is derived. Two basic techniques are covered: business activity
modelling which documents the business activities that need to be undertaken
together with the business events that trigger the activities; and
requirements definitions which is concerned with documenting the
requirements for the new system. Both of these activities are regarded as
essential for the good development of a new computer system.

Title: Data Modelling.
Author(s): Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA).
Abstract: Data modelling is regarded as fundamental to the definition of any
new computer system. In this volume (which is part of the Business Systems
Development series) it is shown how to develop logical data models that
represent the organisation of the data for the new system and for any
existing system. Also included is relational data analysis which is a major
technique that can be used to check that the logical data model does indeed
represent the requirements of the users.

Title: Database and Physical Process Design.
Author(s): Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA).
Abstract: This volume (which is part of the Business Systems Development
series) demonstrates the techniques that can be used to specify the physical
data and processes for a new computer system using the language and features
of the chosen physical environment. Covered are techniques used to develop
the Database Design for a new system and also, if required, the physical
process specifications. Following the application of these techniques no
further specification or design activity should be necessary.

Title: Function Modelling.
Author(s): Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA).
Abstract: This volume (which is part of the Business Systems Development
series) is concerned with the analysis and definition of the processing
requirements for a new computer system. It covers data flow modelling, which
is used to show how the data flows around the system and provides basic
description of the processing the system will undertake, and function
definition which shows how the processes will be organised together.

Title: SSADM Foundation.
Author(s): Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA).
Abstract: his volume (which is part of the Business Systems Development
series) shows how all the products and techniques of a computer development
project can be brought together within a complete method (SSADM). It
contains sections on the individual products and techniques of SSADM and
then goes on to show how they interrelate with each other. It also includes
details on the managing of SSADM projects and how to customise the SSADM
method and provides a product breakdown structure and a structural model
both of which can be used as the basis for planning a computer development
project.

Title: User Centred Design.
Author(s): Central Computer and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA).
Abstract: This volume (which is part of the Business Systems Development
series) covers the design of the computer system from the user's
perspective. It covers techniques that are used to gather details on the way
the user's of the new system are organised and view the system to be
developed - work practice modelling, function definition and user object
modelling. The volume then goes on to show how these models can be used to
develop the user interface for the new system - user interface design. Also
included are details of how prototyping can be used to aid with the system
development.
