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 –

System architecture and design of a power plant. Introduction: A power plant is a means for converting the potential energy (wind‚ solar or chemical) into electrical energy. In its simplest form it consists of steam generation equipment (boiler or nuclear reactor) and a turbine driving an electrical generator. The energy sources available in the world include coal‚ oil‚ gas‚ nuclear‚ hydroelectric‚ wind‚ solar‚ refuse-based and biomass. We can broadly categorize power plants into the following

Green Architecture Green architecture is an approach to building which has become more popular in the last 25 to 30 years. Also known as sustainable design‚ green architecture is a method of design that minimizes the impact of building on the environment. Once thought of as unconventional and nonstandard‚ both regulatory agencies and the public alike are quickly accepting green architecture as a socially responsible and logical means of construction. The beginnings of today ’s green revolution

Introduction Network architecture is a combination of topology and protocols. In this paper‚ I will discuss topology‚ which is the defined as the shape of a network or how a network is laid out. Topology also consists of how the different components or nodes of a network are connected and how they communicate with each other. Topologies are either logical or physical. In addition‚ in the sections of this paper‚ I will compare and contrast some different conventional architecture and what types of topologies

Green architecture‚ or green design‚ is an approach to building that minimizes harmful effects on human health and the environment. The "green" architect or designer attempts to safeguard air‚ water‚ and earth by choosing eco-friendly building materials and construction practices. Green architecture may have many of these characteristics: • Ventilation systems designed for efficient heating and cooling • Energy efficient lighting and appliances • Water saving plumbing fixtures • Efficient

HISTORY OF ARCHITECTURE 1. Architecture‚ with all its varying phases and complex developments‚ must have had a simple origin in the primitive efforts of mankind to provide protection against inclement weather‚ wild beasts‚ and human enemies. Hunters and fishermen in primeval times naturally sought shelter in rock caves‚ and these were manifestly the earliest form of human dwellings; tillers of the soil took cover under arbors of trees‚ and from them fashioned huts of wattle and daub; while shepherds
