    Abstract

    This paper describes a structured method for designing subsystems from a whole system, which extends ADISSA methodology for systems analysis, design and prototyping. The design of a subsystem includes: (a) definition of the transactions, or processes, that belong to the subsystem, thus determining the boundaries of the subsystem; (b) design of the subsystem user-interface, a sub-menu-tree, derivable from the menu-tree interface of the global system; and (c) design of the database sub-schema, derivable from the global database schema. The method is supported by a CASE tool, enabling automatic and interactive design and prototyping of the subsystems.
