Assignment 2

Using the basic model of an information system, as presented in Figure 6.16 at the Book,
suggest the components that might be part of an information system that allows users to
view information about flights arriving and departing from a particular airport.

At the top layer is the web browser the user uses to access the airport website. The second
layer would be comprised of web forms that collect information of the flight the user wants to
look up or search for general time ranges. The next layer is the server at which the flight time
request is sent, will receive the flight information collected and process it into query. The last
layer is the actual database server which will query the database for the specified flights or
time range of flights, and if something goes wrong during the transaction any updates will be
rolled back.
