Chapter 12 - Application architecture and modeling. This chapter teaches you techniques for designing the overall information system application architecture with a focus on physical process models. Information application architecture and physical process modeling include techniques for distributing knowledge, processes, and communications to network locations in a distributed computing environment. | Chapter 12 Application Architecture and Modeling This repository of slides is intended to support the named chapter. The slide repository should be used as follows: Copy the file to a unique name for your course and unit. Edit the file by deleting those slides you don’t want to cover, editing other slides as appropriate to your course, and adding slides as desired. Print the slides to produce transparency masters or print directly to film or present the slides using a computer image projector. Each slide includes instructor notes. To view those notes in PowerPoint, click-left on the View Menu; then click left on Notes View sub-menu. You may need to scroll down to see the instructor notes. Chapter 13 – Application Architecture and Modeling Objectives Define an information system’s architecture in terms of the KNOWLEDGE, PROCESSES, and COMMUNICATION building blocks. Differentiate between logical and physical data flow diagrams, and explain how physical data flow diagrams are used to model an information system’s architecture. Describe centralized and distributed computing alternatives, including client/server and Internet-based computing options. Describe database and data distribution alternatives for system design. Describe user and system interface alternatives for system design. Describe various software development environments for information system design. Describe strategies for developing or determining architecture of an information system. Draw physical data flow diagrams for an information system’s architecture and processes. No additional notes. Chapter 13 – Application Architecture and Modeling Application Architecture Application architecture – a specification of the technologies to be used to implement information systems. The blueprint to communicate the following design decisions: The degree to which the information system will be centralized or distributed. The distribution of stored data. The implementation technology for software developed . | Chapter 12 Application Architecture and Modeling This repository of slides is intended to support the named chapter.
