Abstract
Systems architecture is about designing a suitable structure for a particular system, and how that might integrate as a sub-system. The goal of a systems architecture is to act as the most effective way to solve a problem, while remaining flexible enough to respond to future change. Changing the architecture of a running system is much harder than changing the detail of individual components within that system.
