Network Design: Logical and Physical Design In networking terminology, the term network topology refers to the entire structure of the network. There are two primary parts to the topology definition: the physical design, which is the actual layout of the wire (media), and the logical design, which defines how the media is accessed by the hosts. The physical designs that are commonly used in networks are the Bus, Ring, Star, Extended Star, Hierarchical, and Mesh. A bus topology uses a single backbone
Difference between Logical & Physical Design of a Network When we look at the differences between logical design and physical design of a network it is easy to think of it as the logical as the functional part and physical as the seeing it part. With that stated there is more to this than just the functional and seeing parts. In order to understand the differences from one to the other, we need more information. In the following paragraphs I will try to outline what makes up the differences between
A proper physical database design is one of the most important steps that a database designer can complete to impact the overall performance of the database. When doing the physical database design it is important for the designer to understand what type of data is going to be included and how this data will be used. To better understand why this is important lets first break down a few of the basic elements that are important when completing the physical database design. One of the most basic
Difference Between Logical and Physical Network Design Abstract Connecting computers together to create a network greatly increases the communication capabilities and can even save a company substantial amounts of time and money. A well thought out network design from a small home network to a large corporate intranet can be a deciding factor in the success of a network. Two important steps in the designing of a successful network are the logical designing phase and physical designing phase. The difference
Logical vs. Physical Network Design The typical Top-Down approach to network design uses a systematic method to plan, design, and implement a new network. Generally, the Top-Down methodology involves analysis of the business requirements and goals, development of the logical design based on such goals, development of the physical design, and a phase for testing, optimizing, and documenting the network design. This paper focuses on the activities performed to create a logical design of a network
A good web interface design is an important factor that helps users “interact” with computers. In the present, web interfaces need to be presented and designed in a way in which it can be easily received by the user. In the design field, the elements users see on a computer screen such as the text, graphics and icons etc. make up the interface of a web page (Dabbs, 2002) . Users rely on the interface to complete online tasks and interact with computers and maintaining consistency is an arguably important
Magnetic Disks (Hard Disk) The topic of magnetic disks is one that involves many physics related phenomenon. The intricate structure and design of “Magnetic Disks” (or hard disks) in computers include the principles of Fluid Flow, Rotational Motion, Electromagnetism, and more. This paper will focus mainly on the previously listed physics occurrences, and the design that goes into engineering the magnetic disk to include them. These physics principles are utilized in such a way that makes the hard disk
Difference Between Logical Design and Physical Design (Graphics Not Available) Understanding network topology can tell one a great deal about installing or expanding a network. At its basic level, the topology of a network refers to the way in which all its pieces have been connected. That is, it refers to the layout of the computers, printers, and other equipment hooked to the network (TechTarget 2006). Because cables connect computing resources together for a network, network's topology
Abstract This paper will explain several differences between a logical network design and the physical design of a network. Most people tend to think of it as the logical meaning the functional part and the physical as the seeing it part. With saying that one must understand that there is more to the logical and physical design of a network than just the functional and seeing parts. In order for one to understand the differences of how the two operate and work from one to the other, one would
Crime Prevention through Environmental Design The altering of an area or location through physical design to impact crime is crime prevention. The ideas of this came from Oscar Newman’s concept of “defensible space”, this model inhibits crime through physical expression. There were also four elements of Newman’s “defensible space”; they are territoriality, natural surveillance, image, and milieu. The other elements are access control, target hardening, and activity support. Territoriality refers
Logical and Physical Design of a Network When a network is being designed, the architect must first think about the logical layout and that should be enforced. When he figures out what devices need to communicate and how, a physical design of the network can be implemented. A logical design is the reasoning of a network, with no particular devices or locations chosen. The physical design of the network is when the devices are picked and their actual location determined. When the logical design of a network
To suggest that design by definition is simply the practice of creating something, be it physical or otherwise, would be to disregard the most important element of the process. As stated in the aforementioned quote by Todd Johnston (Forbes, What Is Design? Unlocking The Genius Within, 2014), a successful designer regardless of his or her field, must value the targeted individuals needs equally to the aesthetic component of the piece. It would be foolish to suggest however, that a sole designer would
of the topic as well as a summary of some major findings. 2.2 Building Physical Architectural Models Physical architectural models are types of scale models, a physical image of a structure, put together to study aspects of an architectural design or to talk design ideas. Subject upon the purpose, models can be made from a variety of materials, including blocks, paper and wood, and at a variety of scales. 2.3 Purpose of Physical Architectural Models Architectural models are tools used by architects
3. From urban design to civic design: reinterpreting the principles of civic design as part of an analytical framework The theoretical principles of civic design offer a thorough comprehension between the physical conditions of built space and its social fabric, by establishing the indivisible relation between these two dimensions as the expression of civic life: an institutionalized arrangement built through collective responsibilities which, in practice, should marginalize the exercise of individual
Pursuit of quality is a widespread implicit aim in building design but defining their value in design may vary according to various considerations. It is argued that a well-designed project will impact upon the satisfaction, comfort and well being of its occupants, in addition to the value of its cost and consumption (cost-in-use). In relation to buildings, apart from the definition of value, how the value in design is appreciated and how to measure it, Broadbent et al (1980) argue that “meaning
with me. I left my home. I left a physical building that provided utilities such as heating and shelter; I also left a spiritual place, a place that held a family of comfort and security as well as a sense of belonging and security. That latter is what I miss more. Luckily, I found a suitable replacement. I found a place where I have the physical benefits of a home and a new community that provides the deeper elements that makes a home so much more than a physical place. My new home isn’t a house
relationship between the residents’ satisfaction and the residential housing design is getting more concerned than ever before. There are many design principles of residential architecture; one of them is W.B.D principles. The concept of "wholes" starts at 1926, Jan Christian Smuts, a South African Prime Minister and philosopher, coined the term "holism". He insisted that
however, in the words of Mark Leslie, “An actor without techies is a naked person standing in the dark trying to emote” and technicians through the instruction of their designers create the physical world in which phenomena can be experienced. Technical design facilitates theatrical objectives by providing a physical environment to bring people together to convey powerful sentiments from diverse views and is vital for culture to thrive. Theatrical designers use technology to effect and create sets, costumes
Social responsible design contributes a positive thinking inspires which causes real change and development in the world. Design responsibility is relevant to complicate philosophy and politics in ecology, society, culture, ethics and economy beyond design field. Designers and creative professionals have social responsibility over the choices they make in design processes improving human habitat and social behaviors. The thinking within the design world joins developing human and social capital with
integration of sensory perception as a function of a built form, because it provides experience for its users. Every architectural intervention is constructed using physical materials, but it can create experiences that are beyond the tangible world. To do this, I selected three examples of steven holl’s works, he puts forward the tactility of design in practicing architecture. He aimed at connecting the intellect with senses, idea with phenomena and body with environment. For Holl, the experiential potential
