Systems analysis and design / edited by Don Yeates, Maura Shields, David Hel. - London : Pitman, 1994. - 0273600664

This book offers excellent coverage on the practicalities of undertaking a systems analysis. It is also very strong on structured techniques. Unfortunately the chapters on systems design are showing their age. Still a very good book to study.
