    Study Notes

    System Definition

    • A system is a set of interrelated components that work together to achieve a common goal or set of goals.

    System Decomposition

    • System decomposition involves breaking down a system into smaller, more manageable components to analyze and understand their interactions and relationships.

    System Architecture

    • The fundamental properties of system architecture include structure, behavior, and interaction among components.

    Abstraction

    • Abstraction is the process of taking away or removing characteristics from something in order to reduce it to a set of essential characteristics.

    Organization Chart vs Business Application Architecture

    • An organization chart represents the structure and relationships of an organization, whereas business application architecture represents the structure and relationships of a system or application.

    System Definition (Alternate)

    • A system can be a physical system, such as a computer or a machine, or a non-physical system, such as a social network or a business process.

    Examples of Physical Systems

    • A computer is an example of a physical system.

    Mapping Components

    • The main purpose of mapping components in the context of systems is to understand the relationships and interactions between components and how they contribute to the overall system.

    IT System Architecture

    • IT system architecture refers to the structure and organization of a system's components, including hardware, software, and networks.

    System Characteristics

    • What distinguishes a home network system from a plumbing system is their different purposes, components, and interactions.
