Educating the expert to know how to use the ideas in the same "language" as the other persons in the software development group. Our goals are: to help novices to understand computers, by giving them a framework for organizing algorithms, and to support development of software produced by groups of people over an extended period of time. Based on the notions of Dimensional Flowcharts, a system called the DIMsystem has been developed for handling structured flowcharts.}, IDANR = {LiTH-IDA-R-86-04}, NOTE = {Also in Proc. of the 19th Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Science, January 8-10, 1986}
