Using the example of the weather station system described in Chapters 1and 7, suggest a product line architecture for a family of applications that are concerned with remote monitoring and data collection. You should present your architecture as a layered model, showing the components that might be included at each level.

What will be an ideal response?


There are various options here. The important characteristic of the solution is to

have clear functional separation between the layers. I have suggested a 4-layer

system as shown below:

1. Communications (the lowest layer). All components that are concerned with

interaction with a remote system.

2. Data storage and management. All components that are concerned with

looking after the data that has been collected.

3. Instruments. All components that are concerned with managing the specific

instruments in the system.

4. Data collection and processing. All components that control the collection,

processing and monitoring of the collected data.
