Abstract
A decomposition theory for flowchart schemata is presented, and a series of algorithms for implementing the nested decomposition is discussed. It is suggested that the utilisation of this process as an initial phase of a flowchart structuring routine, will ensure the recognition and preservation of a given flowchart's inherent topology.
