Systems Analysis and SynthesisBridging Computer Science and Information Technology\nAuthor(s): Barry Dwyer\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier Science & Technology, United States\nImprint: Morgan Kaufmann Publishers In\nISBN-13: 9780128053041, 978-0128053041\nSynopsis\nSystems Analysis and Synthesis: Bridging Computer Science and Information Technology presents several new graph-theoretical methods that relate system design to core computer science concepts, and enable correct systems to be synthesized from specifications. Based on material refined in the authors university courses, the book has immediate applicability for working system engineers or recent graduates who understand computer technology, but have the unfamiliar task of applying their knowledge to a real business problem.\n\nStarting with a comparison of synthesis and analysis, the book explains the fundamental building blocks of systems-atoms and events-and takes a graph-theoretical approach to database design .
