Using Zhang Diagram in System Design and Programming

Article Preview

Abstract:

There is a gap between system design and programming in software field. System designers do not use the same kind of language to describe a system as people do on programming. The paper proposes a unified Zhang diagram, which is adaptive to both sides. This diagram uses several simple symbols, connectors and reserved words to represent a whole schema of a system. The experiment shows the efficiency of this diagram in system design and software developing.
