The study design example was doing its best to curtail the scope of the
student's software: a wise and noble ambition. <br>
I can appreciate why the example wanted to exclude the need for complex
wireless data transmission from the student's scope, but the unrealistic
repercussions in the CD/DFD (as you described) don't sit well either.<br>
<br>
<span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>>>>>> Agreed, but I would still point out that a
CD / DFD is not concerned about how the data is transmitted, whether by wireless
or donkey, so this should not have ever been a part of the solution at this
level.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

is one at all.<span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";

on what a data store is, no. Same as what shape a data store should be, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

If a program writes data to a file, but never reads it back again, is it still
a data store? <span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>>>>> Yes it is, although it would be a very poorly
designed system, because the data in the store would be essentially worthless.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

It's a handkerchief dropped by the roadside waiting for the other software to

This rare exception in the Cantina example is unusual and (I find) hard to
handle using basic DFD/CD theory because it is so unusual.<span

lot of time reading the case study in the study design, although I did find it
a little confusing. I don’t quite understand the idea behind the kitchen
system – if I was designing the info system (which clearly I’m not)
the external entity at the end of the line would be the chef who stands there
and yells out the orders a la Gordon Ramsey but without the swearing, and
the kitchen system would therefore just be the display mechanism for the order
to be received, similar to a printer, for example. The transmitting software I
also would not have considered as an entity either as it is just the method
used to transfer the data from the waiter to the chef, and therefore is not
part of the systems analysis model.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

Alan. The kitchen display, to my way of thinking, is not connected to the
Cantina software at all (a conscious decision by the author to limit the scope
of the mobile device's functional requirements.) <br>
<br>
Between the mobile software and the kitchen system (which is an external
entity) lies the transmitting software (also an external entity), and you don't
show communications between external entities.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Hi all.
I'm playing with an SRS based on the Cantina (study design p.84).<br>
<br clear=all>
I've got to the context diagram, and I've attached a first draft. I'm not
100% of a couple of things:<br>
<br>
1. I have excluded the customers as an external entity since they don't
interact with the system: the waiter does.<br>
<br>
2. I included the transmission software as an external entity since it takes
the text file from the ordering software. But if the text file is saved
should it then be considered outside of the system rather than an active data
store within the system? In that case, the transmission software should
not be included at all.<br>
<br>
Any ideas?<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
Mark<br>
