An architecture for the medical information system called Mental Health Care-Patient Management System (MHC-PMC) to maintain information about patients will need to be developed. The system will be used to give staff information on the patients suffering from mental health problems and their treatments. There are different architecture patterns which can be used to develop the system and there are reasons to use one pattern over another. There is the possibility that any of the architecture patterns
Software architecture represents a common abstraction of a system that most if not all of the system 's stakeholders can use as a basis for mutual understanding, negotiation, consensus, and communication [2,12]. According to Microsoft’s definition “software architecture is the process of defining a structured solution that meets all of the technical and operational requirements, while optimizing common quality attributes such as performance, security, and manageability. It involves a series of decisions
INTRODUCTION The purpose of this essay is about using a real example to show the role of software architecture in a software project, also describing its role in the project and finally evaluating if the software architect played his or her role effectively. Firstly what is software architecture and who is a software architect? There have been numerous defined of what software architecture is but as defined by Mary Garlan and David Shaw (1993) as a level of design that involves four(4) major component
DRIVERS 9 SYLLABUS: Introduction – What is software architecture? – Standard Definitions – Architectural structures – Influence of software architecture on organization-both business and technical – Architecture Business Cycle- Introduction – Functional requirements – Technical constraints – Quality Attributes. 1. WHAT IS SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE Architecture plays a pivotal role in allowing an organization to meet its business goals. Architecture commands a price (the cost of its careful development)
Overview In recent years a cognizance has grown of the importance of software architecture. ”The software architecture of a system is the structure or structures of the system, which comprise software components, the externally visible properties of those components, and the relationships among them”-- Bass et al [1]. Software architectures are essential because they represent the single concept for understanding the structure of a system and form the basis for a collective understanding of a system
effectiveness of the initiative and hence demands a rigorous approach by the government of Singapore in collaboration with educational institutions, students, parents, academics and administrators towards policymaking and developing a sound technical architecture which can support the all encompassing strategic goals. Issues The “no-child-left-behind” initiative, while beneficial to society at large for gaining access to a wide body of data relating to the quality of education in the country’s academic
A trouble ticket system is a software system which works on multi-channel customer requests centralised management. It can help streamline work flow processes, track and solve requests more effectively and improve customer satisfaction. Ticket is this case is as same as medical report which records trouble description, process and result. Finally, it is archived after it closeshttp://doc.otrs.org/3.3/en/html/introduction.html. Open-source Ticket Request System (OTRS), is a free, open-source and
Smart Course is a distributed architecture that organized as a set of services and associated server and clients access these services. According to that, client/server is suitable for representing this computing. Client/server is a distributed software architecture in which systems are divided into autonomous processes, where a client sends requests to a server and that server sends responses as
Client/Server Architecture and Attributes The client/server software architecture is a versatile, message-based and modular infrastructure that is intended to improve usability, flexibility, interoperability, and scalability as compared to centralized, mainframe, time sharing computing. A client is defined as a requester of services and a server is defined as the provider of services. A single machine can be both a client and a server depending on the software configuration. This technology description
With the interaction between the development of computational approaches in architecture and the contemporary forms of spatial design intelligence, some new architectural design theories emerged to make differences between architects and control designing processes. These theories are almost employed in all designing realms, from architecture to urban design to provide fields of ideas and solutions that privilege by complexity. Most of these theories are oriented to relay on understanding and using

Architectural engineering, also known as building engineering, is an interdisciplinary program that integrates important knowledge from different disciplines such as civil engineering , mechanical engineering, electrical engineering , architecture, physics, chemistry, biology, and economics (“Building Engineering”). An architectural engineering professional has to master all these discipline because the design of buildings often requires these disciplines. Architectural engineers are important
Operating System Architecture By gaining control of computers, computer viruses, worms, trojans, software bugs, and bad people can create extraordinary damage by shutting down infrastructure, using online banking to steal money, or using robots to attack people. Our civilization is increasingly depended on computers for survival. Therefore, a fully secure operating system is essential for the society. Below is the architecture by which maximum security against viruses and other threats can be
Architecture operates with in the confines of a creative field and the current economic means, these two systems would prefer to operate independently, however are innately linked. Although most people would rather have you believe that they create a finite juxtaposition between the two. Architecture is seldom considered both a profitable business and a functioning artistic outlet, in which practitioners are consistently made to choose between the two. However it is conceivable that between modern
The Impact of ISPs on the Architecture of the Internet The Internet was started over three decades ago as a US government sponsored project. The Internet originally connected several universities and the government; it eventually grew to include some private companies/research labs. As such, the initial users of the Internet were scientists/technologists who were well versed in the workings of the network (and who did not have the malicious intents of modern hackers). The motivation of the Internet
Architecture (Latin architectura, from the Greek ἀρχιτέκτων arkhitekton "architect", from ἀρχι- "chief" and τέκτων "builder") is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings and other physical structures. Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements. "Architecture" can mean: A general term to
I have always had a considerable interest in architecture, ever since studying Fine Arts in Tunisia. Thereafter, I have looked at it in detail through my study in the University of Tripoli (UT); where I spent five years, and gathered a huge amount of architectural knowledge. This interest would suggest that I would be well suited to the job of an architect. I have always believed that it would be a very interesting career for me which needs a lot of imagination, visualization and artistic sense.
perceptions of computer in architecture. Some criticize computer use because computers—by their nature mechanistic and algorithmic—support only uncreative thinking and production. However, some increasingly view computers as valuable tools of creative production. Educational research indicates that there is no single "effect" of the computer on creativity; technology can support either uncreative drill or creative production. In recent years, contemporary architecture has been changed by the evolution
3. The Bauhaus had a major influence on modern art, design and architecture. Drawing from writings by and about the Bauhaus, and with reference to two or three visual examples, critically assess this influence and the ongoing relevance (or not) of the Bauhaus today. Established in 1919 by the designer and architect Walter Gropius, the Bauhaus radically changed the history of art, design and architecture, shifting away from the old gothic style to a more simplistic approach of design which we know
The Profession of Architecture – Roles, Responsibilities and Challenges of the future Challenging Times for the Architect Introduction Recent years have been challenging for the whole country and particularly for the construction sector and the architectural profession. Challenging times do however, afford the opportunity for reflection and debate about what is provided and delivered by the architectural profession. I will briefly discuss how factors such as climate change, technological
