Component and Connector Structure:

User Interface Components:

 Graphical User Interface (GUI) components for different user roles (pharmacists, administrators,
patients)
 Web-based interface components for online services (e.g., prescription refills)
Application Logic Components:
 Business logic components responsible for processing prescriptions, managing inventory, and
handling billing
 Integration components for interfacing with external systems (e.g., electronic health records,
insurance providers)
Data Management Components:
 Database management components for storing and retrieving pharmacy data (e.g., patient
information, prescription records, inventory)
Security Components:
 Authentication components for verifying user identities and managing access control
 Encryption components for securing sensitive data (e.g., patient health information, financial
transactions)

Allocation Structure:

Server Infrastructure:
 Web servers for hosting the pharmacy management system's web-based interface and services.
Network Infrastructure:
 Local Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) connections to facilitate
communication between servers, client devices, and external systems.

Client Devices:
 Pharmacy workstations for accessing the pharmacy management system's user interface and
performing various tasks such as prescription processing, inventory management, and billing.

Backup and Disaster Recovery:

 Regular backups of database and system files stored on secondary storage devices or off-site
locations to protect against data loss due to hardware failures, accidents, or cyberattacks.
