IS Architecture
• A blueprint that depicts how future systems will be designed and built. The various systems components are explicitly defined so that multiple people can build systems around the same base line.
![Page 27: Telecommunications as the Delivery Wheel](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070405/56814017550346895dab62eb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Information Systems Architecture Evolving?
• IS becoming more like a manufacturing process
• Effective enterprise is essential
• System architecture a direction no an end point

Three System Alternatives
• Distributed systems: multiple processors that share a network
• Cooperative processing: applications are processed on multiple processors and this is transparent to the user.
• Client-Server computing: A network shared by multiple processors involving split processing with specialized purposes.
