System Integration and Architecture
Introduction
Unlocking Terminologies
• System - a set of things working together as parts of
a mechanism or an interconnecting network.
• Integration - is the act of bringing together smaller
components into a single system that functions as
one.
• Architecture - the art and science of designing and
building.
Computer Systems
Elements of Computer Systems
Computer System
• Computer System is a complete, working computer.
The computer system includes not only the
computer, but also any software and peripheral
devices that are necessary to make the computer
function.
Elements of Computer System
• Hardware
• Software
• Peopleware / Liveware / Humanware
Computer Hardware
• These are all the physical aspects of a computer
system. They are tangible, i.e. you can see and touch
them. Hardware components are the electronic and
mechanical instruments.
Types of Computer Hardware
Input Devices - for users to input Output Devices - it is anything that
data into the computer system. allows the computer to
• Keyboard communicate information to the
user.
• Mouse
• Monitor
• Microphone
• Printer
• Web Camera
• Speaker
• Joystick
• Bar Code Reader
Storage Devices
Primary Storage – also called as Secondary Storage - also called as
auxiliary memory, a volatile,
main memory; a non-volatile, permanent type of storage
temporary type of storage
user.
• RAM – Random Access Memory • Hard Disk
• ROM – Read Only Memory • Floppy Disk (Diskette)
• Optical Disk (Compact Disk)
Computer Software
• Software, as you can imagine, is the intangible
aspect of the computer system. It helps the user
interact with the computer system with the help of
hardware.
Types of Software
• System Software - the system manages other
software and devices inside the computer.
Example:
Operating Systems(OS) - An operating system
(OS) is system software that manages computer
hardware and software resources and provides
common services for computer programs.
Kinds of Operating System(OS)
WINDOWS OPERATING SYSTEM
Kinds of Operating System(OS)
MACINTOSH OPERATING SYSTEM (MAC OS)
Kinds of Operating System(OS)
LINUX OPERATING SYSTEM
Kinds of Operating System(OS)
ANDROID OPERATING SYSTEM
Kinds of Operating System(OS)
IPHONE OPERATING SYSTEM (iOS)
Types of Software
• Application Software - this is designed for end users
to perform a specialized assignment in order to
output useful information.
Example:
Examples of Applications
Adobe Products
• Photoshop
• Illustrator
• Premiere
• After Effects
• Audition
Types of Software
• Programming Software/ Language - these are tools
used by developers to create all kinds of software like
Windows OS and Word processing. Also called
languages, they are used to write source codes,
debug errors, maintain and create new software for
computers and write malicious scripts like viruses
and trojans.
Examples of Programming Software/ Language
Android Studio
Examples of Programming Software/ Language
Types of Software
• Utility Software- like operating systems, it is a system
software. It helps maintain and protect the computer
system.
Examples: Antivirus, CCLEANER, Driver Pack
What are Drivers?
• A driver, or device driver, is a software program that
enables a specific hardware device to work with a
computer's operating system. Drivers may be
required for internal components, such as video
cards and optical media drives, as well as external
peripherals, such as printers and monitors.

Peopleware/ Liveware/ Humanware
• This component refers to the person that uses the
computer.
• This component is made up of the people
responsible for maintaining, operating,
programming, and analyzing the output generated by
the computer system.
Types of Peopleware
• End-Users - Also known as operators, they are the
people who interact with the computer system.
• Computer Programmers - design, write, test and
implement specialized programs that process data to
computer.
• Computer Operator - works in the computer room
and is responsible for a number of different tasks.
