Department of Information Systems and Computer Science, National University of Singapore, Lower Kent Ridge Road, Singapore 0511
This paper describes the design and implementation of an intelligent data flow processor, AUTO-DFD. AUTO-DFD has the intelligence to find the optimal Data Flow path between two entities of a data flow diagram. It has a high degree of automation in dynamically moving or deleting objects and their related components. It allows multi-level data flow diagrams to be concurrently created in multi-windows and merged with their parent diagrams. It performs checking on the integrity of all entities of the data flow diagram. It also checks on the balance of input and output flows between a Process and its child diagram.
