1.1 Introduction

In the architectural design, structures of data and program components are represented that are required to build ResearchColab. We have also considered the structure, properties, and inter-relationships of the components of the system.

1.2 Context Diagram

In Context Diagram (Figure 1.2b), we have defined external entities that ResearchColab interacts with, as well as the nature of interaction. Figure 1.2a shows the Data Flow Diagram of ResearchColab at level-0.

1.3 Archetypes

The principal components of ResearchColab are being showed in Figure-1.3:

Among these six modules there are four modules, which need to be further sectioned (Figure 1.3.3 to 1.3.4):

1.4 Architectural Mapping Using Data Flow Diagram

Figure 1.4.1 represents DFD of ResearchColab at level-1.

Now, we have further sectioned each transformation node of the level-1 DFD, and have designed their respective Architectural Diagrams. Figure 1.4.1.1a to Figure 1.4.1.3a represents DFD and Figure 1.4.1.1b to Figure 1.4.1.3b are their Architectural Diagrams.
