How well to design software systems is a key to the success of software developments. In this paper, a unified design methodology, which integrates module decomposition techniques based on control flow and those based on data flow, is introduced to construct well structured software systems. In this method, a system will be designed as a hierarchy of subsystems, each of which is either a control flow combination or a data flow combination of its subsystems. Since it is possible, under a set of rules offered, to select at each refinement step a best suited decomposition technique, the methodology may be more widely applicable than any other existing ones. A software design system developed to aid the design on the new methodology is described. The system consists of a system design language, to represent the design along the new methodology, and its processor, which generates various design analysis reports. Also, a simple programming tool is provided to realize a system designed through this method in conventional programming language.
