What is DFD ? or What is Data Flow Diagram?
                            A data-flow diagram  ( DFD )  is a graphical representation  of the "flow" of data through an information system. DFDs can also be used for the visualization of data processing ( structured design ).                          On a DFD , data items flow from  an external data source or an internal data store to  an internal data store or an external data sink, via  an internal process .                           A DFD provides no information about the timing or ordering of processes, or about whether processes will operate in sequence or in parallel. It is therefore quite different from a flowchart, which shows the flow of control  through an algorithm, allowing a reader to determine what operations will be performed, in what order, and under what circumstances, but not  what kinds of data will be input to and output from the system, nor  where the data will come from and go to, nor  where the data will be stored (all of which are shown on a  DFD ). ...
