Information System
Information system (IS): A system, which was builtTo be used as part of an enterprise. It contains all relevant aaplication systems and is embedded into the organization and management of an enterprise
Human + Application Software + Base Software + Computer + IT-Infrastructure
Application System
Application system (AS): a system which consists of business tasks and processes it supports, the underlying IT infrastructure, the application software and the data it requires in order to accomplish its objectives
Application Software + Base Software + Computer + IT-Infrastructure
Software System
Application Software + Base Software
Hardware System
Computer + IT-Infrastructure
Isolated vs. Connected IS
Isolated information systems: media disruptions between information systems (prone to errors, personal intensive, cost intensive, inflexible; Long processing times, complex controlling).
Connected information systems: electronic order and electronic delivery notes. Requirements for the development of connected information systems needs holistic (ganzheitlich) view on an enterprise and its organization, management, business processes, resources etc. -> Enterprise modeling.
Enterprise modelling vs. enterprise model
Enterprise modeling: Abstract representation, description, and definition of the structure, processes, information and resources of an identifiable business, government body or other large organization.
Enterprise model: Representation of the structure, activities, processes, information, resources, people, behavior, goals, and constraints of a business, government, or enterprises.
Model
Representation of natural or artificial objects, which themselves can be models
Abstraction
Pragmatism
Modeling rules: Homomorph transformation
Language is defined by meta model
Aggregation versus disaggregation
Several different objects are combined into a new object
Generalization versus specialization
Similar objects are abstracted to become a high level object

Central server architecture
Central common data storage and low-cost terminals
Client/server architecture
Distributed presentation (Windows X) Remote presentation (Teamviewer) Distributed application (Siri) Remote database (Dropbox) Distributed database (Navigon)
Advantages: flexibility and dependability
Disadvantages: high server workload, planning, network bandwidth required
Cloud computing architecture
Services – infrastructure, platform, software
Advantages: scalable, cost efficient, Access anywhere
Disadvantages: rely on provider, security problems, the Availability problems
Peer-to-peer architecture
No central instance
Advantages: required resources are provided by many parties
Disadvantages: High complexity, critical mass of peers
Edge computing
Computing near to hardware
Advantages: low network load, reduce latency, new functionalities
Disadvantages: security challenges, cost of hardware and license, complexity
Cell based communication
Radio networks consisting of several transmitters which cover to certain area. (shape is influenced by environment)
Advantages: higher capacity, reduce transmission power (of device), robustness, better coverage
Disadvantages: complex and costly
Mobile device – functional architecture
Radio interface
Application, security, browser/Interpreter, operating system
User-interface
Smartcard: Application, keys & certificates, browser/Interpreter, operating system
NFC
Mobile web app
Needs Internet connection
Difficult to implement payment and identification systems
Cannot access OS core functions
But: easy updates
Native app
Supports off-line use Can use all device functions Platform specific App Store (security) But: updates through app stores
Apple App Store
Devices –> Content providers –> content –> customers –> Devices etc.
Play store
Support for spreading the web –> experience –> awareness
+
Google services –> user & traffic –> user data
=
Google AdSense
Google AdWords
(advertiser finances all operations above)
Mobile advertising
High interactivity
Minimize circulation waste:
Location based
Extensive personalization
Time based
Maximize reach:
Time independent
Mass media
Location independent
Context sensitive targeting of mobile marketing
OSI Protocol
Open system interconnection – Open for Connection with other systems
- Use multiple layers to reduce complexity
- Provide specific services to the layer above, while shielding it from the details
OSI reference model
1-4 Layer: transportation of bits (transport oriented)
5-7 Layer: Data transportation applications (Application oriented)
OSI reference model Layer 1
Physical layer
- Defines mechanical, electrical, Time related specifications for interfaces
- deals with transmission of bits
OSI reference model Layer 2
Data link layer
- Contains algorithms for efficient and reliable communication
- segmentation (allocation of data into small packets)
- confirmation (receiving is confirmed)
MAC Adress
OSI reference model Layer 3
Network layer
- actual transmission of packets
- main task is routing
Path must be chosen carefully to avoid overload
OSI reference model Layer 4
Transport Layer
- Ensures reliable and cost-effective transportation of data
- logical setup of end to end connections (set up, coordination and termination of connections – three way handshake)
- TCP
- UDP
OSI reference model Layer 5
Session Layer
Enables users to start sessions from different computers
- dialogue protocol
- token management
- synchronization
