Control and Information Architecture Diagrams (CIAD)
with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM

One of the three main constituents of any enterprise is the Control and Information Architecture. The rest two are Production facilities and People and Organization. The Control and Information Architecture in big organizations can be sufficiently complicated, therefore to facilitate the perception, study and analysis of this architecture the creation of diagrams which describe it in the form of graphical schemes is worthwhile. As a rule, the Control and Information Architecture Diagrams (CIAD) present the diagram series where each subsequent diagram has the higher degree of the detail elaboration. On the first level the general philosophy of the Control and Information Architecture in organization is described. Further, there can be created network diagrams presenting physical structure of data processing in organization and diagrams of entities showing the logic of data processing.

The purpose of CIAD is to present in the form of graphical schemes all objects in organization, which process data and connections between them, and also to denote the direction and consequence of data processing. CIAD show these processes analogously to Process Flow Diagrams (PFD) and similarly to PFD they are created on the projection stage.

On creation of CIAD the following should be considered:

  • On the diagram there should be presented all main calculating systems and objects which process data and lines of connections and form the organization data network.
  • Lines of connections should differ in thickness and color depending on the carrying capacity.
  • The description of the level of detailed elaboration which is described in the diagram should be presented.
  • Additional systems do not displayed on the diagram but can be mentioned in it.

With the development of technologies and computer networks the new kind of CIAD has appeared. More detailed CIAD began to present Control and Information Network Diagram (CIND) diagrams. These diagrams in many respects are similar to CIAD but they are built on the level of servers and include the same elements as CIAD and besides them they include:

  • All the main calculating servers
  • Indications of speeds of connections’ line and connections protocols
  • Indications of all commutating devices
  • Additional calculating systems
  • All data depositories

Any hierarchical structure of any company can be represented as a triangle or a pyramid. You can create a pyramid diagram and pyramid chart of any complexity using special libraries included in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM. Actually, any knowledge or chain of facts can also be depicted as a pyramid. A wide range of graph and chart are utilized in marketing to maintain documentation and various visual issues, that deal with marketing information and data. The marketing value pyramid can be created to illustrate how the value of company, or product is based on its competitiveness. To design this diagram we used ConceptDraw DIAGRAM drawing tools in conjunction with Pyramid solution for Solution Park.Pyramid Diagram and Pyramid Chart *

Any information system receives data flows from external sources. In order to visualize them there is a list of data flow diagram symbols that describes how the system components cooperate. If you want to create a data flow diagram, ConceptDraw DIAGRAM Solution Park has DFD Library that contains both Yourdon and Gane-Sarson notations. This figure shows the content of vector libraries, delivered with ConceptDraw solution for data flow diagram (DFD). There are three libraries composed from about 50 vector objects used to make data flow diagrams. They include a complete set of objects utilized by Yourdon-Coad and Gane-Sarson notations - two primary notations that are apply for data flow diagramming. Also, one can discover additional "Data flow diagram (DFD)" library that provides a data flow diagram elements for designing level 1 and context-level data flow diagrams.Data Flow Diagram Symbols.

Flow chart is a diagrammatic representation of an algorithm and essential part of planning the system. Flow charts are widely used in technical analysis and programming for easy writing programs and explaining them to others. So, one of the most popular type of flow charts is Technical Flow Chart. Technical Flow Chart can be drawn by pencil on the paper, but it will be easier to use for designing a special software. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software extended with Flowcharts Solution from the "Diagrams" Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park will be useful for this goal.Technical Flow Chart *
