The overall design of a system:
? Computers and networks (e.g., monolithic, distributed)
? Interfaces and protocols (e.g., http, CORBA)
? Databases (e.g., relational, distributed)
? Security (e.g., smart card authentication, SSL)
? Operations (e.g., backup, archiving, audit trails)
? Software environments (e.g., languages, source control tools)
