Informatics 5- Architectures of Information Systems Flashcards
internet and world wide web
- computers must network to exchange data
- local area networks (LANS)
- internet: global network-of networks using telecommunications protocol/internet protocol stack (TCP/IP)
- 1960s: advanced research project agency network (ARPANET)
- 1989: World Wide Web (WWW) by tim berbers-lee
- browser- hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)
- hypertext markup language (HTML)- language we talk to
LANS
local area networks
HTTP vs HTTS
- HTTS- secure -> important for healthcare
- HTTP- non-secure
interoperability of the internet
- global use of standards HTTP
- exchange data in HTML
- transport of data by TCP/IP
- each device (host) must have an internet protocol (IP) address
- IP address and a routing prefix or “subnet mask”
- 192.168.10.1 and subnet mask 255.254.254.0
- IP version 4, new one version version 6
- domain name system (DNS)- common language based addresses
application layer
- HTTP
- google drive, blackboard, solar
- must be certified with the EMR to make sure its secure*
host
-you are the host when you are on a computer
host to target
- host (laptop) -> application layer -> transports (TCP) to -> network layer (IP) -> goes to data link layer
- media for data transfer (ethernet) -> is it big enough and secure enough to transmit the data -> this is our biggest issue
- goes back to data link layer -> network layer (IP) -> transport layer (TCP) -> application layer (HTTP) -> target (webserver)
web services
- local PC or server
- web server
- task specific applications via a series of transactions to and from other web-aware applications/services over internet
- representational state transfer (RESTful)- what its gonna look like when it transmits the information
- simple object access protocol (SOAP)- protocol in which the information is transmitted
server
- always multiple transaction with multiple users and multiple programs
- decentralized
- can go everywhere
RESTful
- what its gonna look like when it transmits the information
- representational state transfer
SOAP
protocol in which the information is transmitted
-simple object access protocol
health information organization (HIO) and web services
- requires:
- master patients index (MPI)- consists of the medical record number
- record locator service (RLS)- whos looking at it, where is it being stored, locates records
- gateways- connects and separates within the same network
- adaptors (connectors software)
medical record number
- unique number that identifies the patient
- this is a problem when someone has more than one number bc of mistakes -> new names, new addresses, new insurances
- if you come in unconscious it becomes a problem
- medical record numbers can be merged after bills are paid, labs are in etc.
adaptor
- NIC card
- ethernet port
record locator service (RLS)
- whos looking at the records
- where is it being stored
- locates records
application
-not user friendly
-access network services
-blackboard -> not google
-
presentation
-translates data
session
- establishes, maintains and terminates “sessions”
- logging into blackboard -> creates a session
- now you can communicate
transport
-error recognition and recovery
network
- message control, switching and routing
- how are be getting there
- is it wired?
data link
- packages data from physical layer into frames (special packets) and its responsible for error free from transfer from one computer (node) to another
- data is unstructured information
physical
-unstructured raw data stream from other layers
open systems interconnection stack
- number starts from the top to the bottom
- seven layers of OSI
seven layers of OSI
- numbers start from the top to the bottom
- application layer’
- presentation layer
- session layer
- transport layer
- network layer
- data link layer
- physical layer
- top down -> transmit data
- down to top -> receive data
networks
- group of computers linked together to share information
- dial-up modem, wireless fidelity (WiFi), digital subscription line (DSL), 3G/4G, cable modem or T1 lines
- internet protocol (IP) is a standard that segments data, voice and video
- transmission performance:
- bandwidth
- packet loss- loss of data
- end-to-end delay
max distance of coaxial?
320ft
transmission
- federal information processing standard (FIPS)
- encryption technique encodes each packet
- cant be read while transmitted -> this is how people hack information
- only during the transmission while it be encrypted and not stolen -> most secure
- adds some delay and increase bandwidth
encryption
- secures data
- more encryption you put on a file -> the bigger it becomes and the slower
- you need a very robust network and servers for a high encryption
- while information is being transmitted through the network information can be stolen if its not encrypted
- only during the transmission while it be encrypted and not stolen -> most secure
personal area networks (PANs)
- bluetooth
- close proximity network linked by bluetooth
- security issues
- almost all bluetoth has the same numbers
local area networks (LANs)
- computers linked in office, hospital, or home
- nodes (computers, printers) connecting technology (wired or wireless) and specialized equipment (hubs, routers)
- phone or DSL up to 128 Mbps
- ethernet (Cat 5 cables)
- security issues too
- keyword “only” two countries can only talk to each other -> LAN
wireless (WiFi) networks (WLANS)
- wireless (WiFi) networks (WLANS)
- 54 Mbps to 900 Mbps
- slower and more expensive
- does not require hubs or switches
- interference from microwaves, cordless phones and bluetooth
- security established using encryption scheme (WiFi protected access II (WAP2)) or firewall
wide area networks (WANs)
- cross city or national borders
- ex. within US
- two countries talking to each other, two hospitals talking to each other (keyword no “only”)
global area networks (GANs)
- connected networks with unlimited geographic area
- 3G, 4G
- 54-70 mbps
- spotty coverage
- worldwide
network types
- wireless (WiFI) networks (WLANs)
- local area network (LANs)
- wide area network (WANs)
- global area network (GANs)
virtual private virtual networks (VPNs)
- home computer attached to network at work by communicating with VPN server associated with that network
- authentication and security
- “tunneling protocols” encrypt data by sender and decrypt it at receivers via secured tunnel
open architect
-able to change things around
closed architect
-cant make any changes
mainframe
-centralized
server
- decentralized
- can go everywhere
TCP/IP
- transfer data
- protocol
HTML
exchange data
-hypertext markup language
DNS
- domain name system
- common language based address
HTTP
hypertext transfer protocol
-HTTPS- hypertext transfer protocol secure
