It currently supports design to implement C language applications. IDEF 5 through IDEF14 have not been pursued in depth at this time. Some academic work has been done in several areas, and the future of these methods is uncertain. IDEF 5 through 14 exist today in various stages and are intended to provide the capability to describe additional views listed in Table 1. A brief overview of IDEF0 will give you a feel for some process modeling basics associated with IDEF modeling.
Inputs are the typical things such as resources consumed or transformed by a process.
Output are the typical things created by the transformations of the inputs by the process. Controls are the standards, policies, guidelines, etc. Figure 1 is an abstract view of IDEF0 notation. The hierarchy of diagrams is maintained via a numbering schema that ties parent and child diagrams. Figure 2 shows this with an A0, A1, and A12 numbering as an example.
