1.1 Introduction
In the architectural design, structures of data and program components are
represented that are required to build ResearchColab. We have also considered
the structure, properties, and inter-relationships of the components of the system.
1.2 Context Diagram
In Context Diagram (Figure 1.2b), we have defined external entities that
ResearchColab interacts with, as well as the nature of interaction. Figure 1.2a
shows the Data Flow Diagram of ResearchColab at level-0.

1.3 Archetypes
The principal components of ResearchColab are being showed in Figure-1.3:
Among these six modules there are four modules, which need to be further
sectioned (Figure 1.3.3 to 1.3.4):

1.4 Architectural Mapping Using Data Flow Diagram
Figure 1.4.1 represents DFD of ResearchColab at level-1.
Now, we have further sectioned each transformation node of the level-1 DFD, and
have designed their respective Architectural Diagrams. Figure 1.4.1.1a to Figure
1.4.1.3a represents DFD and Figure 1.4.1.1b to Figure 1.4.1.3b are their
Architectural Diagrams.
