We used five keywords to try and trend the activity of system analysis and design in research: software development, work flow, distributed systems, computer systems, decision support systems. From the graphs we can see that system analysis and design really gains popularity in 1980’s. In 2000’s , some new concepts were introduced, for example, aspect oriented. So we can see the research in the area will get up again in the future.
