Principles of Engineering System Design GRAPHICAL MODELLING TECHNIQUES Dr T Asokan asok@iitm.ac.in
MODELLING TCHNIQUES • Data Model : Relationships between data entities. Ex: ER Diagrams, Higraph • Process Model : Modelling of processes: what, when.. Ex: Data flow, N2. • Behavior Model: Control, activation, termination of system functions Ex: FFBD, Behavior diagrams, Petrinets
DATA Modelling • Entity Relationship Diagrams • Models the data structures or relationships between data entities ( An entity is a class of real, similar items like people, computer, books etc.) • Creating ERD • Identify the entities • Determine significant events • Analyse nature of interactions • Draw ERD • Complex ER Diagrams
Higraphs Higraphs are generalisation of complex ER diagrams. An entity is considered to be a set with multiple elements, called a blob
