哈尔滨商业大学德强商务学院信息管理与信息系统专业英语翻译单元第八单元指导教师李文婧学生姓名许文娟第四章管理信息系统的发展历程概要：（1）：发展中的现行系统的数据流程图。

（2）：逻辑过程用于决策树和决策表。

正文：结构系统的分析和设计的主要目标是，以确定确切的制度，使“正确”的系统设计要求。

结构化方法，采用了一系列的图形工具和技术，用户完全可以理解。

这种方法策略使得系统的分析人员可以在错误被输入系统发展历程的设计和后续阶段之前的分析阶段捕获它们。

如果错误是在分析阶段的一个项目，是很多次批改。

例如，如果一个必要的数据元素是在分析阶段确定，它可能是左边的系统文件，在设计阶段。

一旦系统运行时，用户可能会注意到，从报告中缺少某些信息。

设计师可以了解情况，并找出一个数据元素是由一个主文件丢失。

重新设计的文件和报告，将远远超过数据元素，数据字典项目的分析阶段。

结构系统的分析过程，有助于早期分析捕获错误。

结构化系统分析方法运用工具描绘了让用户可以清楚的理解的当期系统和推荐的系统逻辑模型，而不是向用户提供他们看不懂的系统说明书。

图表4.1是系统发展中的结构化方案与传统方案的对比。

传统的方案需要里了解现行系统的数据文件，报告，程序，决策，并且为系统开发自动化的版本。

虽然这种方案也很高效，无效的现行系统有一种趋于自动化的趋势，在现在的形势下报道可以没有原因的被写出来。

申请者的信息可以是不完整的，过时的废弃的，或者简单的不准确的。

如果现行系统是自动化的，很多的这些问题就不会被发现（就是不会出现这些问题）。

相反的，在结构化的系统分析与设计中，分析人员收集现行的程序，信息流，决策制定过程的信息，并且报道和建立现在情形的逻辑模型，使用一个叫逻辑数据流程图的工具。

图表4.1系统发展中的结构化方案与传统方案的对比使用数据流程图是因为它描述了业务流程逻辑，信息需求和信息流。

而不是系统的这些元素的物理视图。

用户不需要知道他们的个人记录是否都存储在磁带文件，磁盘文件或者纸质文件中。

表示层：提供由应用层选择的一组特定服务，对交换数据的含义进行解释。

如：数据格式转换。

会话层：进行高层通信控制，允许在不同计算机上的用户建立通信运输层：从会层接收数据，分成较小的单元传输，并确保信息准确。

网络层：传输中路由选择和流量控制。

数据链路层：为网络中两端建立、维持和释放数据链路。
