Explanation of Solution

Use of abstract tools in the technology:

  • Abstraction refers to the distinction between the external properties of an entity and the details of the entity’s internal composition.
  • Abstraction that allows us to ignore the internal details of a complex device such as a computer, automobile, or microwave oven and use it as a single, comprehensible unit.
  • Computers, automobiles, and microwave ovens are constructed from components, each of which represents a level of abstraction at which the use of the component is isolated from the details of the component’s internal composition.
  • At each level of abstraction, system is viewed in terms of components, called abstract tools, whose internal composition is ignored.
  • Development of large software systems is accomplished in a modular fashion in which each module is used as an abstract tool in larger modules.
  • Subjects such as electrical engineering use MATLAB software to draw graphs, conclusions and simulate circuits without the need to work on paper...

Draw a system/level-0 diagram for this scenario: You are developing a new customer relationship management system for the BEC store, which rents out movies to customers. Customers will provide comments on new products, and request rental extensions and new products, each of which will be stored into the system and used by the manager for purchasing movies, extra copies, etc. Each month, one employee of BEC will select their favorite movie pick of that week, which will be stored in the system. The actual inventory information will be stored in the Entertainment Tracker system, and would be retrieved by this new system as and when necessary. Example of what a level-0 diagram looks like is attached.
