Bus: A single cable, the backbone functions as a shared communication medium that devices
attach or tap into with an interface connector, if any device faced a failure the other devices are
not affected. Just shared medial failure effects the entire network
Ring: every device has exactly two neighbors for communication purposes. All messages travel
through a ring in the same direction any failure effects the entire network
Star: all devices are connected to a central PC ;if any device faced a failure the other devices
are not affected
Mesh: every device connects to every other; if any device faced a failure the other devices are
not affected
Network architecture are categorized into two main types; client \server and peer to peer networks,
in client \server network one PC acts as central device to provide the service and the other requests
service but in later all device have equal weight to use the resources.
The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that use the standard Internet
Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) to serve billions of users worldwide. The system is called an Intranet If PCs are
connected internally in an enterprise without any connection outside to world but if the connection
spans through cross-enterprise boundaries is called Extranet

Case Study
A waiter takes an order at a table, and then enters it online via one of the six
terminals located in the restaurant dining room. The order is routed to a printer in
the appropriate preparation area:
the cold item printer if it is a salad,
the hot-item printer if it is a hot sandwich or
the bar printer if it is a drink.
A customers meal check-listing (bill) the items ordered and the respective prices
are automatically generated. This ordering system eliminates the old threecarbon-copy guest check system as well as any problems caused by a
waiters handwriting. When the kitchen runs out of a food item, the cooks send
out an out of stock message, which will be displayed on the dining room
terminals when waiters try to order that item. This gives the waiters faster
feedback, enabling them to give better service to the customers. Other system
features aid management in the planning and control of their restaurant
business. The system provides up-to-the-minute information on the food items
ordered and breaks out percentages showing sales of each item versus total
sales. This helps management plan menus according to customers tastes. The
system also compares the weekly sales totals versus food costs, allowing
planning for tighter cost controls. In addition, whenever an order is voided, the
reasons for the void are keyed in. This may help later in management decisions,
especially if the voids consistently related to food or service. Acceptance of the
system by the users is exceptionally high since the waiters and waitresses were
involved in the selection and design process. All potential users were asked to
give their impressions and ideas about the various systems available before one
was chosen.
Questions:
a) In the light of the system, describe the decisions to be made in the area of
strategic planning, managerial control and operational control? What information
would you require to make such decisions?
b) What would make the system a more complete MIS rather than just doing
transaction processing?
c) Explain the probable effects that making the system more formal would have on
the customers and the management.
