Consequently, in Part II, we describe in detail the completed requirements model, as it would be received by the user, and in Part III, we describe how to construct the model. The principal tools of the requirements model are flow diagrams: graphical models of signal flows and processes acting on those flows. Flow diagrams consist of data flow diagrams and control flow diagrams.
