Information System Architectures: From Art to Science Peter C. Lockemann Fakultät für Informatik Universität Karlsruhe Postfach 6980 76128 Karlsruhe lockeman@ipd.uka.de Abstract: The presentation claims that architectural design plays a crucial role in system development as a first step in a process that turns a requirements specification into a working software and hardware system. As such‚ architectural design should follow a rigorous methodology – a science – rather than intuition –

Title of the Study: PENSION SYSTEM IN THE PHILIPPINES II. ABSTRACT Traditionally‚ pension systems aim to fulfill a number of functions which include income security and consumption smoothing in old age‚ as well as income redistribution. The main rationale for pension reform lies in the interaction between current demographic trends (e.g. increasing old age dependency ratios) and the design of existing pension systems (particularly‚ the so called Pay-As-You-Go public systems). Under certain conditions

In order to achieve optimal reproductive rates‚ both the anatomical and physiological workings of the reproductive system must function properly. A basic understanding of the anatomical and physiological function of the female pig reproductive system can aid producers in anticipating and troubleshooting reproductive problems‚ and in facilitating decisions which impact performance of the breeding herd.

The cardiovascular system‚ also known as the circulatory system‚ is composed of the heart‚ blood vessels‚ and blood. The term cardiovascular refers to the heart (cardio-) and blood vessels (vascular). The term circulatory refers to the circulation of the blood. The heart is a muscular pump and its regular contractions send blood into tough‚ elastic tubes called arteries‚ which branch into smaller vessels and convey oxygen-rich blood through the body. The arteries eventually divide into tiny capillaries

Systems theory is an extension of the humanistic perspective that describes organizations as open systems characterized by entropy‚ synergy and subsystem interdependence. The systems theory is one of the recent historical trends of organization and management (the other two are contingency view and total quality management). General systems theory grew out of the organismic views of L. Bertalanffy and other biologists during1950s and K. Boulding‚ D. Katz‚ R. Kahn‚ F. Kast‚ J. Rosenzweig‚ W. Buckley

Compare the Circulatory system and the Lymphatic system Closely connected with the blood and circulatory system‚ the lymphatic system is an extensive drainage system that returns water and proteins from various tissues back to the blood stream. When blood reaches the arterial end of the capillary beds in the body tissues‚ fluid from the plasma is forced out of the capillaries by the blood pressure in to a space between the capillaries and the tissue cells. This fluid‚ called tissue fluid‚ is plasma

The mercantile system was based on the benefits of trading in which the flow of raw materials from the colonies that profited Great Britain who turned them into finished goods which had a higher value than raw materials. Americans had to trade goods that they had in abundance in exchange for goods which were scarce in their own region. Triangular Trade‚ coupled with the British policy of Mercantilism‚ provided a “favorable balance of trade”
