  4. The Outline Frameworks and Models An Overview: Introduction; A Brief History Computer Structure Decisions Computer Memory Hierarchy Input/Output Performance Operating Systems - Resource Sharing CPU Architectural Constraints CPU Performance Issues Efficiency, Reliability and Fault-tolerance New Computer Architecture Trends - RISC

  5. The Need for Frameworks and Models Viewing Businesses as Systems Information Systems and Work Systems Framework for Thinking About Any System in Business Five Perspectives for Viewing a Work System Analyzing an IT-Enabled System from a Business Professional's Viewpoint

  6. Work System Framework & Principles Businesses as Systems consisting of Business Processes: core & support, info/management within its own Added Value Chain or as part of a broader Supply Chain: up/down-stream. Types of Business Processes and its Functional Areas of Business: management,product development, sales & marketing, production,accounting, finance & investment, logistics & delivery

  7. Relation between Information Systems and Work Systems Which "System" Are We Talking About? Increasing Overlap Between Information Systems and Business-based Work Systems

  8. Principle-based System Analysis MethodThe Work System Framework Customers Product Business Process Participants Information Technology Source: S. Alter, MIS, The foundation of e-Business, AWL, 2002

  9. Need for a Balanced View of a System Business Results Focus: How well the System Operates People & Organization; Organizational, Competitive, and Regulatory Environment Surrounding the System Technology & Information Focus: System Components & How do they Operate Together Infrastructure: Essential Resources Shared with Other Systems Risks: Foreseeable Things that Can usually Go Wrong

  10. Principle-Based System Analysis Method The General Idea of Systems Analysis System’s Thinking: system analysis steps Organizing the Analysis around Work System Principles Defining Problems and Computer - based Work Systems Applying PBSA to Work Systems, IS, and Projects Limitations and Pitfalls Measuring Work System Performance Classification Related to the Elements of a Work System

  11. William Stallings Computer Organization and Architecture6th Edition Chapter 1Introduction

  12. Computer Systems Overview Basic Model of a Computer System: Computer Architecture Computer Organisation Architecture vs. Organisation Dilemmaex.: Multiplication oper. vs. Fmult. unit Implementation technology: IBM AS/400 IBM System/370 vs. IBM Station/9370

  13. A Computer: A Complex System A hierarchic system: is a set of interrelated subsystems each of the latter in turn, hierarchic in structure until lowest level of elementary subsystem. The hierarchic nature of complex systemsis essential to both their design and to their descriptions. The behavior at a level depends only on a simplified, abstract characterization of the system at the level next, beneath. At each level the designer is concerned with:a level functionality appropriate to its structure.
