The high-level architecture of the weather station software is composed of six independent subsystems that communicate via a shared Communication link. Which of the following are the six subsystems? Select ALL that apply.

<<subsystem>> Fault manager <<subsystem>> Configuration manager <<subsystem>> Power manager Communication link <<subsystem>> Communications <<subsystem>> Data collection <<subsystem>> Instruments

Correct Answer

(1) Fault manager
(2) Configuration manager
(3) Power manager
(4) Communications
(5) Data collection
(6) Instruments

Explanation

The weather station high-level architecture has six subsystems: Fault manager, Configuration manager, and Power manager (upper row, connected via Communication link) and Communications, Data collection, and Instruments (lower row). Each subsystem listens for messages on the shared Communication link infrastructure - a 'listener model' commonly used in distributed systems.
