It is a '''discipline''' because a [[body]] of [[knowledge]] is used to inform [[practitioner]]s as to the most effective way to design the system within a set of constraints.

A systems architecture is primarily concerned with the internal [[Interface (computer science)|interface]]s among the system's [[components]] or [[system | subsystem]]s, and the interface between the system and its external [[environment]], especially the [[User (computing)|user]]. (This latter, special interface, is known as the [[computer human interface]], ''AKA'' human computer interface, or [[Human-computer interaction|CHI]]; formerly called the man-machine interface.)
