Chapter 19, Problem 19.2E
Explanation of Solution
Computer based system and system failure:
Computer based system is a system which consists of all components necessary to capture, process, transfer, store, display, and manage information.
Computer based system is likely to be installed in an environment where other electrical and electronics system and computer based systems are likely to be present.
The environment in which computer based system is installed may have unanticipated effects on system that may lead to system failure because of the following reasons:
- The computer based system cannot work in isolation and it will have some communication and data exchange links with other computer based system present in the same environment...
