• Describe your chosen architecture pattern.
• Explain why you selected the architecture of this case study.
• Explain how your chosen pattern could be applied to this case study.
• Describe any shortcomings associated with your chosen architecture pattern for the case study.
• Describe how your architecture could be implemented in hardware and software.
• Develop a UML diagram to document the architecture of the system through the use of Microsoft Visio or its open source alternative, Dia. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
