Systems Design

What is Systems Design

Systems design is the process of defining and planning the architecture, components, and processes that will be used to build a system. It involves identifying the requirements of the system, defining the structure and behavior of the system, and specifying the interfaces and interactions between the system and its environment.

Systems design is an iterative process that involves gathering and analyzing information, creating and evaluating alternative design solutions, and refining the design to meet the needs and goals of the system. It may involve the use of modeling techniques, such as data modeling and process modeling, to represent the system and its requirements.

The purpose of systems design is to create a plan for building a system that will meet the needs of the users and stakeholders, and that is feasible and cost-effective to implement. It is an important step in the systems development life cycle, and is followed by systems implementation, testing, and deployment.

Examples of systems design include designing a computer network, designing a software application, and designing a manufacturing system.
