Pfleeger defines a system as a collection of: a set of objects, a set of activities, a description of
relationships among objects and activities, and a definition of the boundary of the system.

Suppose we are developing a system to grant authorized access to lab based on RFID cards. The system
will have an RFID module and is intended to prevent unauthorized students from entering the
university’s research lab. This prevention is done by controlling the lock on the doors. When a person
tries to enter the lab, he/she touches his/her card with the RFID modules mounted on the door. The
system compares the card holder’s record with the records of authorized card holders. The door lock is
opened only if the person is authorized to pass through the door.

Identify elements of the above system. Also give a context level diagram in the end.
