    The document discusses the physical system design phase of developing an information system. This phase involves detailed design of the user interface, database structures, and processing and control procedures. System designers specify the hardware, software, and personnel needed. This includes what types of hardware, software, programs, procedures, and people will be required. The goal is to convert data resources into information products like displays, reports, and documents. The output is a set of system specifications that formalize the design.

    Management Information System

    iii) The specific data elements (databases, files, records, etc.) that need to be maintained for each entity tracked by the information system. iv) The integrity rules that govern how each data element is specified and used in the information system. 3) Process Design: The process design activity focuses on the design of the software resources, that is the programs and procedures needed by the proposed information system. It concentrates on developing detailed specifications for the program modules that will have to be purchased as software packages or developed by custom programming. Thus, process design produces detailed program specifications and procedures needed to meet user interface and data design specifications, as well as the control and performance requirements of a proposed information system.

    Logical System Design


    Logical system design involves developing general specifications for how the basic information system activities of input, processing, output, storage, and control can meet end user requirements. In the systems investigation stage, logical design concepts may have been developed in a feasibility study. These were rough or general ideas of the basic components and flows of the proposed information system. Several alternative logical design concepts may have been suggested before a single concept was tentatively selected. In the systems design stage, these logical concepts are refined and finalized.

    Physical System Design


    Physical system design involves the detailed design of user interface methods and products, database structures, and processing and control procedures. Hardware, software, and personnel specifications are developed for the proposed system. System designers use their knowledge of business operations, information processing, and hardware and software to specify the physical design of an information system. Obviously, this must correspond to the input, processing, output, storage, and control specifications developed in the logical design step. The design must specify what types of hardware resources (machines and media), software resources (programs and procedures), and people resources (end users and information systems staff) will be needed. It must specify how such resources will convert data resources (stored in files and databases they design) into information products (displays, responses, reports, and documents). These specifications are the final product of the systems design stage, and are called the system specifications.

    System Specifications
    System specifications formalize the design of an application's user interface methods and products, database structures, and processing and control procedures. Therefore, systems designers will frequently develop hardware, software, network, data, and personnel specifications for a proposed system. Figure below shows examples of system specifications that could be developed for an Ecommerce system. Examples of System Specifications 1) User Interface Specifications: Use personalized screens that welcome repeat Web customers and make product recommendations. 2) Database Specifications: Develop databases that use object relational database management software to organize access to all customer and inventory data, and multimedia product information. 3) Software Specifications: Acquire an E-commerce software engine to process all E-commerce. transactions with fast responses, i.e., retrieve necessary product data, and compute all sales amounts in less than one second. 4) Hardware and Network Specifications: Install redundant networked Web servers and sufficient high bandwidth telecommunications lines to host the company E-commerce website. 5) Personnel Specifications: Hire an E-commerce manager and specialists and a webmaster and web designer to plan, develop, and manage E-commerce strategies.
