2009年上半年计算机技术与软件专业技术资格（水平）考试日期：2009年5月23、24日。另外，部分考试科目从2009年上半年开始将采用新修编的考试大纲，具体见： 2009年全国计算机软考考试大纲汇总。Process Flow Diagrams
　　过程流程图
　　A process flow diagram is provided in each Knowledge Area chapter。The process flow diagram is a summary level depiction of the process inputs and process outputs that flow down through all the processes within a specific Knowledge Area.Although the processes are presented here as discrete elements with well-defined interfaces,in practice they are iterative and can overlap and interact in ways not detailed here.
　　介绍知识领域的各章，绘有过程流程图。该流程图直观、概括地展示出具体知识领域所有过程的依据与成果的传递路线与方向。该流程图所表现的这些过程，虽然彼此之间有清楚的界线，互不联系，但实际上，这些过程彼此交叉重叠，以此处无法详细说明的方式相互影响与作用。

　　图III-1 过程流程图示例

　　The symbols for the process flow diagrams are explained in Figure III-1 and depict three types of information:
　　图III-1解释过程流程图使用的符号，并直观地说明3种信息：
　　1.Knowledge Area processes,their interaction with other processes within the Knowledge Area,and their outputs to Chapter 4 integration processes.
　　1.知识领域的各过程及其与本知识领域内其他过程之间的相互影响与相互作用，以及这些过程供第4章各整体过程使用的成果。
　　2.Processes external to the Knowledge Area,whose outputs are used as inputs to the Knowledge Area processes under discussion.
　　2.知识领域之外的各过程及其供该知识领域当做依据使用的各项成果。
　　3.Organizational process assets and enterprise environmental factors are shown as inputs to the first process.
　　3.第一个过程的依据都是组织过程资产与事业环境因素。
　　The project management plan,and its subsidiary plans and components that are external to the Knowledge Area,are provided as input into the first process of the diagram,and are considered to be available in each subsequent process in their latest updated form.
　　知识领域之外的项目管理计划及其分计划与组成部分都表示为流程图第一个过程的依据，并认为以后的各过程都可以在这一依据经过最近的更新之后加以利用。
　　The organizational process assets and enterprise environmental factors are shown as inputs to the first process to provide those items of information,policy,and procedure that are external to the project,but can impact the project planning and execution.These assets and factors,plus the external process outputs used as an input to a Knowledge Area process,are also considered to be available in each subsequent process in their latest updated form.
　　流程图中组织过程资产与事业环境因素是第一过程的依据，提供属于项目之外但可能影响项目规划与执行的信息、方针与程序。这些过程资产与事业环境因素，以及某一知识领域过程当做依据使用的外部过程成果，也认为以后的各过程都可以在这些成果经过最近的更新之后加以利用。
　　The process flow diagram is not detailed and does not show all the possible interfaces with all external processes.It also does not show possible alternate process flow paths or feedback loops among the specific Knowledge Area processes or with processes external to the Knowledge Area.The iterative nature of most projects makes the permutations of the process flows and feedback loops very complex.Therefore,in the interest of keeping the flow diagrams easier to follow,alternate or iterative paths were not included with the diagrams.
　　该过程流程图没有经过详细绘制，也没有将同所有外部过程所有可能的交接关系表示出来。该图也没有表示出过程的其他可能流向与路线，或者具体知识领域内各过程或与该知识领域之外过程之间的反馈回路。大多数项目所固有的反复性质，使过程流向、路线与反馈回路的排列、布置与绘制十分棘手。因此，为了便于掌握，流程图中没有表示过程的其他可能流向与路线，及其多次的重复。
