Formalization of the software module development using matrix forms

The article considers the formalized approach to develop a multi-user document exchange system based on a matrix form of data representation. The multi-stage development of modular software by several participants is presented as basic process. The algorithmic implementation of information flows in the context of software development is presented. The document life cycle model is described using the UML diagrams. The considered algorithm contains a hierarchical document flow structure with the subordination of some documents to others. According document flow the participant interaction model of software development process is considered. The model of administrative document flow includes the following roles (owners): the product development manager; the customer representative; the developer; the tester. As a result, the presented matrices fully describe the graph of the considered document flow process. The formalized approach based on the matrix form of representation can be used as input data for multi-user systems' algorithmization in solving modular software design problems.
