Answer to Question #310080 in Computer Networks for Brian

Question

Give a detailed account on the relationship between logical and physical design

Answer 1

The logical design of the information system helps in defining the features and functions of the system and also defines the relationship among the components. Logical design is not concerned about the way in which the tasks are accomplished. The method of implementation is not addressed by the logical design.

The Physical design of the information system helps in defining the way in which tasks are accomplished. The process for storing, entering and verifying data is described by the physical design. The sorting procedures and the layout of data files and format of reports are also described by the physical design.
