System System is an aggregate of two or more physical components and a set of disciplines or procedures by means of which they interact. A set of elements or components that are formed and interact to accomplish goals or objective. A subsystem is system component that is 1 a system in its own right. Basic System Elements Input Output Process Feedback 2 System Block Diagram Input Process Output Feedback 3 Input Productive resources that can be defined as natural resources. Input can be inform of raw materials, labor, capital, information, data, or any other phenomenon that carries some form of content. 4 Output The result of the production process. It is the goal that the system has as its purpose for existing. 5 Process/Transformation Process is the method by which the goal of the system is achieved. Steps or operations the system goes through to converts inputs into outputs. 6 Feedback Information returned to an instigator of change that reflects the result of that change, allowing the originator to correct for undesired results. 7 System Boundary A system boundary defines what is inside and what is outside of the system. The boundary separate the system from its environment. 8 Environment of System The environment is everything outside of a system’s boundaries that is pertinent to the system. It contains the sources of inputs into the system and the recipients of outputs from the system. 9 Boundary and Environment Customer Order Confirmation Process Order Availability Receive Mail Computer 10 Boundary and Environment System receives inputs from its environment. System returns output to its environment. 11 Connections in a System The connection in a system transmit the flows of material and information that coordinate the system’s components. Connections are essential to all systems. Without connections, the system would be a set of independent components that 12 ignore each other. Control Mechanisms The control mechanisms in a system are the rules and logic that govern the individual subsystems and the interactions among them. 13 Example Supplier Parts Design Produce Preferences Deliver Sell Order Service Service request Customer 14 Systems Classification Open or Closed Simple or Complex Stable or Dynamic Permanent or Temporary 15 Open System Open system means they receive input from the environment and return output to the environment. There is a flow of inputs and outputs across the system boundary. 16 Closed System There is no interaction with the environment within a closed system. A closed system have sealed boundaries and neither receive inputs nor produce outputs 17 Simple Systems A simple system is one in which there are few elements or components and the relationship or interaction between elements is uncomplicated and straightforward. 18 Complex System A complex system is one in which there are many elements that are highly related and interconnected. 19 Stable or Dynamic Stable is one in which changes in the environment result in no change or little change in the system. Dynamic system is one that undergoes rapid and constant change due to changes in its environment. 20 Adaptive or Nonadaptive An adaptive system is one that responds to a changing environment. A nonadaptive system is one that does not change with a changing environment. 21 Describing and Evaluating Systems Cost of ownership The cost of implementing, operating, and maintaining a system.

Frequency the inverse of the period (1/T), or the number of repetition of the period per second; it is expressed in cycles per second, or hertz (Hz). Phase measure of the relative position in time within a single period of a signal. 95 Spectrum and bandwidth Spectrum of a signal is the range of frequencies that it contains. Bandwidth of a signal is the width of the spectrum in which most of the energy in the signal is contained. 96 Transmission Data transmission occurs between transmitter and receiver over some transmission medium. Transmission media may be classified as guided or unguided. 97 Guided media With guided media, the wave are guided along a physical path; example of guided media are: twisted pair coaxial cable optical fiber 98 Unguided media Unguided media provide a means for transmitting electromagnetic waves but do not guide them; examples are propagation through: air vacuum seawater 99 Direct link The term direct link is used to refer to the transmission path between two devices in which signals propagate directly from transmitter to receiver with no intermediate devices, other than amplifier or repeaters used to increase signal strength. 100 Point-to-Point A guided transmission medium is point-topoint if it provides a direct link between two devices and those are the only two devices sharing the medium. 101 Point-to-Point Transmitter/ receiver Medium Amplifier or repeater 0 or more Transmitter/ receiver Medium 102 Multipoint In a multipoint guided configuration, more than two devices share the same medium. 103 Multipoint Transmitter/ ….

Client-server. Domain. 154 Windows NT networking Models Workgroup model is a decentralized networking model. All account administration is local to each machine. Each machine maintains its own account database 155 Windows NT networking Models Client-server model is a centralized networking model. All administration is centralized at server. Clients can log on to a server via the server’s account database and access resources associated with that server. 156 Windows NT networking Models NT domain model Allows administrators to group users. All administration is centralized to an NT Server that has been designated as he primary domain controller (PDC). 157 Windows NT networking Models In NT domain model the account database that resides on the PDC is called Security Account Manager (SAM) SAM database is copied to server that has been designated as Backup Domain Controllers (BDC) Each domain need al least one server 158 Windows NT networking Models PDC contains the master copy of SAM for the entire domain and is the only server that can make changes to the database. If there is more than one server in a domain, selected servers can be designated to keep a backup copy of the SAM. PDC’s SAM database is read-write. 159 Windows NT networking Models Domain models: single domain single master domain multiple master domain complete trust domain 160 Windows NT networking Models Criteria for choosing Domain models: # of accounts (windows NT can support up to 40,000 account). The geographic scope of your domain. How users ant resources will be defined within the domain. 161 Domain Trust Relationship In situation where there are two or more domains, users can access domains other than their own through trust relationships set up by the network administrator. Each trust relationship has two parties: trusted domain granted access to resources trusting domain granting the access 162 Example A n organization has a main office and ten branches, each with its own file server and domain. Main office domain needs access to all branches, which is granted. Main office is trusted domain, and branches are the trusting domains 163 Trust Relationships One-way trust the trust relationship is not reciprocated. One domain is trusted party, and the other is trusting Two-way trust the trust relationship is reciprocated. Universal trust two-way trust are set up among more than two domain. 164 Single Domain Consists of a single domain. Easy to manage. Centralized administration. Good for small networks.
