SDL Flowchart Symbols
SDL diagram is a type of diagram which uses the graphical elements of Specification and Description Language (SDL) for designing the object-oriented diagrams, for modeling state machines in communication, telecommunication, aviation, automotive and medical industries, for creating specifications and descriptions of behavior, data, and inheritance for interactive real-time systems, reactive and distributed systems. SDL diagram is constructed of standard SDL elements (objects) which are designed according to International Telecommunications Union standards.
The SDL diagram consists of three building blocks: system definition which defines the major blocks (nodes) of the system such as clients and servers, block charts which show the details and process diagram which show the processing steps in each block. Arrows connect the objects and show the flow of control. The Start object shows beginning of the diagram.
Drawing the diagrams we try to find in help the powerful software and now we have the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM The ability easily create the SDL diagrams is made possible thanks to unique Specification and Description Language (SDL) Solution from the Industrial Engineering Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. This solution extends ConceptDraw DIAGRAM with 2 libraries - SDL Connectors and SDL Diagrams that contain 71 predesigned SDL flowchart symbols.
Example 1. SDL Diagrams Symbols Library
Turn attention for this enormous collection of predesigned vector objects which let design the SDL diagram of any complexity and degree of detailing in mere minutes.
Example 2. SDL Connectors Symbols Library
Try design your own SDL diagram in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM and make sure that is very easy! With powerful drawing tools of ConceptDraw DIAGRAM you don't need to be an artist, you can concentrate on your work and simply drag and use ready objects developed for you by professional designers.
Example 3. SDL Flowchart Symbols
Follow the next few steps to create the SDL diagram:
- add the objects to your diagram simply dragging them from the SDL Diagrams library to your document page and arrange them;
Example 4. Adding the Objects to SDL Diagram
- add text to the objects - double-click an object to activate the text editing mode and type the text;
Example 5. Adding the Text to Objects
- connect the diagram objects using the connectors from the SDL Connectors library and add to text to connectors the same way you add text to objects, if needed.
Example 6. SDL Architecture
Each SDL diagram designed in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM can be then easy printed to share with colleagues, send via e-mail directly from the program, exported to various formats, including PPT, PDF, MS Visio, HTML, and many other popular graphic formats.

While designing a conceptual data model, you should use appropriate software. For instance, ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a user-friendly ER diagram tool that has a lot of samples and templates to facilitate your work. A clear entity-relationship diagram helps to define the relations between system’s components.
Software engineering is the section of a computer science engaged to design, realization, and support of complex software products. An ERD is a data modeling method that is widely applied in the software engineering practice. Commonly it is used for developing a structure of a a relational database. An entity relationship diagram is helpful for structuring and organizing databases that can be modeled using a relational structure. An entity relationship diagram is designed to depicts the interrelationships within the sets of entities which are accumulated in the database. Each entity represents a particular component of a data. Thus, ER diagrams depicts the logical structure of databases. ConceptDraw ER Diagrams solution provides software engineers with the professional tool for making entity-relationship diagrams.

When thinking about data visualization, one of the first tools that comes to mind is a flowchart design. You can find flowchart symbols, shapes, stencils and icons easily on the Internet, but it might take time to systematize this information. Nevertheless, once you start flowcharting, you’ll love its simplicity and efficiency.
This diagram consists from standard flowchart symbols, approved by ANSI (American National Standard Institute) for drawing flowcharts. A flowchart is a diagram that represents a step-by-step algorithm of any process, displaying the process stages as boxes that are connected with arrows. Flowchart design makes it clear and readable.
Flowchart designed using ConceptDraw DIAGRAM flowchart software allows to make attractive and clear process presentation, it makes interpretation of the business process flow fresh and versatile. Great flowchart design view is a big advantage over the diagram created manually on a paper.
