11、part of American National Standard ANSI/IS0 5807-l 985. This document is identical to ISO/IEC 5807-l 985 and the following three paragraphs are the original foreword as it appeared in that document.) IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide fed- eration of national sta

12、ndards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 techni- cal committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a tech- nical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. Internationa

13、l organizations, governmental and non-governmen- tal, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are cir- culated to the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by the IS0 Council. They are

14、approved in accor- dance with IS0 procedures requiring at least 75% approval by the member bodies voting. International Standard IS0 5807 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 97, information processing systems. Requests for interpretation, suggestions for improvement or addenda, or defect repo

15、rts are welcome. They should be sent to the X3 Secretariat, Computer and Business Equipment Manufacturers Association, 1250 Eye Street, NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20005.

AT the number of levels depending on the size and complexity of the information processing problem. The level of detail should be such that the various parts and the interrelat

21、ionship between the parts are comprehensible as a whole. Typically there will be a chart of the whole system showing the main constituent parts and this will form the top of a hierarchy of charts; each lower level providing a more detailed descrip- tion of one or more parts shown on the next higher

22、level chart. 1 Scope and field of application This International Standard specifies symbols to be used in in- formation processing documentation and gives guidance on the conventions for their use in a) data flowcharts: b) program flowcharts; c) system flowcharts; d) program network charts; e) syste

23、m resources charts. 2 Reference IS0 2382/l, Data processing - Vocabulary - Part 01: Fun- damen tal terms. 1 ) 3 Definitions For the purpose of this International Standard the definitions in IS0 2382/l and the following apply. 3.1 basic symbol: Symbol used when the precise nature or form of, for exam

24、ple, the process or data media is not known or when it is not necessary to depict the actual medium. 3.2 specific symbol : Symbol used when the precise nature or form of, for example, the process or data media is known and when it is necessary to depict the actual medium. 3.3 flowchart: Graphical re

25、presentation of the definition, analysis, or method of solution of a problem in which symbols are used to represent operations, data, flow, equipment, etc. 4 Data flowchart Data flowcharts represent the path of data in the solving of a problem and define processing steps as well as the various data

26、media used. A data flowchart consists of a) data symbols to indicate the existence of data; they may also indicate the medium used for this data; b) process symbols to indicate the process to be executed on data; they may also indicate the machine function which is used for this process; c) line sym

27、bols to indicate the data flow between pro- cesses and/or data media; d) special symbols to facilitate the reading and the writing of the flowchart. 1) At present at the stage of draft. (Revision of IS0 2382/l-1974.) 1 ANSI/IS0 5807-l 985 By definition, process symbols should be preceded and fol- lo

28、wed by data symbols. A data flowchart begins and ends with data symbols (except special symbols as specified in 9.4). 5 Program flowchart Program flowcharts represent the sequence of operations in a program. A program flowchart consists of 6 a) process symbols for the actual processing operations in

29、cluding symbols that define the path to be followed taking into account the logical conditions; b) line symbols to indicate the flow of control; c) special symbols to facilitate the reading and the writing of the flowchart. System flowchart System flowcharts represent the control of operations and t

30、he data flow of a system. A system flowchart consists of a) data symbols to indicate the existence of data; they may also indicate the medium used for this data; b) process symbols to indicate the operations to be executed on data, as well as to define the logical path to be followed; c) line symbol

31、s to indicate data flow between processes end/or data media as well as the control flow between processes; d) special symbols to facilitate the reading and writing of the flowchart. 7 Program network chart Program network charts represent the path of program acti- vations and the interactions to rel

32、ated data. Each program in a program network chart is shown only once, whereas in a system flowchart it may appear in more than one control fiow. A program network chart consists of a) data symbols to indicate the existence of data; b) process symbols to indicate the operations to be executed on dat

33、a; cl line symbols to show the flow between processes and data as well as the activations of processes; d) special symbols to facilitate the reading and writing of the network charts. 8 System resources chart System resources charts represent the configuration of data units and process units suitabl

34、e for the solving of a problem or of a set of problems. A system resources chart consists of a) data symbols to show input, output or storage devices; b) process symbols to represent processors, for example, central processing units, channels, etc. ; c) line symbols to represent the data transfer be

35、tween data devices and processors and control transfer between processors; d) special symbols to facilitate the reading and the writing of the system resources chart. 9 Symbols 9.1 Data symbols 9.1.1 Basic data symbols 9.1.1.1 Data This symbol represents data, the medium being unspecified 9.1.1.2 St

41、essing function, for example, executing a defined operation or group of operations resulting in a change in value, form or location of information, or in the determination of which one of several flow directions is to be followed. 3 ANSl/lSO5807-1985 Specific process symbols 9.2.2 9.2.2. 1 Predefine

Eli 9.2.2.2 Manual operation This symbol represents any process performed by a human being. T-7 9.2.2.3 Preparation This symbol re

43、presents modification of an instruction or group of instructions in order to affect some subsequent activity, for example, setting a switch, modifying an index register or in- itializing a routine. 0 9.2.2.4 Decision This symbol represents a decision or switching type function having a single entry

44、but where there may be a number of alter- native exits, one and only one of which may be activated following the evaluation of conditions defined within the sym- bol. The appropriate results of the evaluation may be written adjacent to the lines representing the paths (see 10.3.1.2) 0 4 ANSI/IS0 580

F NOTE - Processes C, D and E cannot commence until process A has been completed; similarly process F should await completion of B, C and D; but process C may stat-t and/or e

46、nd before process D has started and/or ended respectively. ANSI/IS0 5807-l 985 9.2.2.6 Loop limit This symbol, in two parts, represents the beginning and end of a loop. The two parts of the symbol have the same identifier. The con- ditions for initialiition, increment, termination, etc., appear insi

Solid or open arrowheads shall ba added to indicate di

48、rection of flow where necessary (see 10.2.1.2) or may be added to enhance the readability. 9.3.2 Specific line symbols 9.3.2.1 Control transfer This symbol represents immediate transfer of control from one process to another, sometimes with a chance of the direct return to the activating process aft

49、ar the activated process completes its actions. The type of control transfer should be named inside the symbol, for example, call, fetch, avent.
