Abstract

In the education of software engineering, it is important to educate learners about diagrammatic representations for analyzing configurations or functions of a target system. In systems analysis two or more diagrammatic representation are described in appropriate order, which experts know as the effective analysis process. Education of the analysis process using diagrammatic representations is more important and essential rather than education of notations of diagrammatic representations. This paper proposes an intelligible analysis process which is suitable for education. Learners of systems analysis can acquire the process model effectively by using the process model, which includes Petri Net, STD, DFD, and IDEF0, in this order. It is easy to reuse components between the diagrammatic representations according to the analysis process.
