Assignment:
Create 3 to 4 diagrams to model a software system that you are familiar with and understand. You can use various software applications (e.g., Visio, UML, etc.) to prepare the diagrams. These diagrams should meet at least these criteria below:
• There should be more than seven major components in this software system.
• There should at least be one dynamic view.
Prepare an APA paper which follows all of the requirements of a properly APA formmatted (e.g., Title Page, Citiations and Reference Page) assignment. The paper must include the diagrams within the paper, not as seperate submissions. Note: It is your responsibility to render the diagrams as visible objects within the paper. I do not want to open any auxillary files to review the diagrams.
Include a summary page in the paper that discusses how the diagrams portray your selected software systemand how they are benefitting the organization it was designed to assist.
Use appropriate external citations and references (minimum of 3), in addition to including references to the required readings/videos where relevant, within the assignment. Be sure citations and references follow the University of Phoenix approved style guide format (the Written Assignments Guidelines, along with properly cited APA references). Please Note: Dictionary and Encyclopedia citations and references will not count towards your reference/citation count. Refer to the Instructor Policies to identify External and Internal references.
