Documentation for systems design

P. H. Vince *

IBM United Kingdom Limited, 56 Newman Street, London, UK

The value and limitation of documentation for systems work are first reviewed. The importance of recognizing the goals of the system and the self-contained activities by which these are achieved are stressed. Then documents which present a systems model and a resource usage chart are described, followed by activity and operation charts and supporting documents for these, based on an information matrix format. These are intended to help systems analysis and evaluation before more detailed and familiar forms are used for implementation. This paper was originally presented to the British Computer Society in London in November 1963.
