Implementando diagramas de blocos em gráficos TikZ/PGF

Question

Sou novo em design em LaTeX e tenho aprendido TikZ. Alguém pode sugerir como implementar o seguinte diagrama em gráficos TikZ/PGF? Posso fazer blocos, mas estou tendo problemas com as implementações gerais.

Além disso, existe algum tutorial (de preferência com exemplos) onde eu possa aprender essas coisas com os fundamentos?
