Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] System Flow Charts



Hi all.  Here's a curly one for you.

The study design's glossary includes "system flow charts" as an example
of a physical design tool.

However, as I understand it, a SYSTEM flow chart is basically another
name for a DFD, which is declared by the glossary as being a logical
design tool.  It describes the flow of information through a system.

And please don't confuse a SYSTEM flow chart with a regular flowchart,
sometimes called a PROGRAM flow chart - the one with decisions in
diamond shapes etc.  It describes the actions and decisions in an algorithm.

System flow charts are not the same as program flow charts!

Anyone with 2c to spend?

Cheers

Mark
