Abstract
The paper explains that the use of organic architecture allows man and nature to live side by side in a cohesive manner. The paper shows how organic architecture benefits society by its aesthetic looks and preservation of natural resources. The paper discusses how preserving resources is now necessary not only from an aesthetic point of view but also from a practical need standpoint for future generations. The paper includes a photo of the famous Fallingwater design, an example of the use of organic architecture.

From the Paper
"Since the beginning of time mankind has searched out ways to live in harmony with nature. Whether it was using products that are environmentally friendly, being careful not to destroy resources that can be left alone or blending in to the scenery to create atheistic environments mankind has tried to maintain a peaceful partnership with nature. The use of organic architecture allows man and nature to live side by side in a cohesive manner."

Abstract
This paper looks at the building techniques of Frank Lloyd Wright - his use of light, space, materials, location and general philosophy - and compares them to the techniques of other prominent architects.
From the Paper
"Architecture has historically played a central role in expressing and providing for human needs. It has been used as a means to glorify religion, display power, commemorate the loss of loved and distinguished individuals, and express radically progressive artistic concepts. More importantly, architecture's most elementary function also happens to be its most important, which is to provide humans with shelter."

Abstract
In this paper, the modernist organic aesthetic of Frank Lloyd Wright's Guggenheim Museum offers me a naturalistic taste for modern architectural design. The paper explains that Wright often incorporated the balance between form and function, which united the geometric abstraction of functional design, alongside natural examples taken from natural elements.

Abstract
The focus of this paper is to look at the impact of the service oriented architecture in an organization. The writer discusses how companies can utilize the system and looks at the benefits and drawbacks of such a system.
From the Paper
"Some of the benefits of having such a system are the higher returns on investment, the re-usability of code, the better scalability and the ease of ensuring security. Some of the drawbacks on the other hand are that expectations of the system maybe hyped up by vendors, the system is evolving is still being tested by early adopters and sometimes scalability can be compromised."

Abstract
This paper uses the principles of enterprise architecture planning (EAP), to analyze what went wrong in the application of a data warehousing system for the company SPFIS and determines what recommendations can be made regarding future projects. It examines how the initial system was implemented through a whim of the CEO lacking clear definition and identifiable milestones. It looks at the four stages of EAP, developing a framework for the plan, performing initial migration, performing major application migration and the post-migration stage and uses them to analyzes SPFIS's shortcomings.
From the Paper
"In many cases, significant IS programs lack an executive sponsor and the IS staff struggles to gain support for their project at the highest levels of the organization. This was not the case at SPFIS. Indeed, there was considerable support for the data warehousing project from the CEO, but the CEO failed to appreciate exactly what a data warehouse could and could not do for his organization. This "blind" approach to implementing a data warehouse imposed unrealistic deadlines and resource limits on the IS staff, and ensured that users would not be part of the solution (users were left believing that the data warehouse would be forced on them even though they did not understand its benefits)."

Abstract
This paper explains that architecture is more than the design of buildings because it incorporates the thought of the person building the structure; the architecture of Egyptian and Greek temples differs in function, structure, and symbolism. The author points out that Egyptian temple architecture is much larger than the Greeks because the geographical location was abundant with resources and building materials, such as limestone, and the Egyptians maintained a highly organized society capable of carrying out such large constructions. The paper explains that another main difference between the Egyptian and the Greek temples is that architects, not priests, directed the design of the Greek temple, which distinguished the Greek temples from those of the Egyptians because they made conscious choices in design for aesthetic reasons, not just function.

From the Paper
"The earliest Greek temples were small and gradually became larger and grander. The first temples were similar to small huts and were long and narrow. These early temples were about 25 by 18 feet and were built using stone and unbaked mud brick. As the wealth of the Greek people grew and the geographical locations became more abundant with resources, temples began to take a much more sophisticated style. "There was a compelling need, given the dominant role of the gods in society, to pay at least some benefits thus received to them.""

Abstract
This paper describe each of the four-tier architectures maintained by Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE): The client tier also known as presentation tier or application tier, the web tier, the enterprise javabeans tier also known as business tier and the enterprise information systems tier. The author points out that one of the main advantages of using J2EE to create enterprise-wide applications is that it has encapsulated specific functionality into each component. The author stress that the developers using this software can organize their enterprise applications into functionality with some level of abstraction between the various components, which enables the components to be placed in various tiers or levels.

Introduction
Client Tier
Web Tier
Enterprise JavaBeans Tier
Enterprise Information Systems Tier
From the Paper
"J2EE ensures that the components function efficiently in the distributed environment and in the various tiers with the help of the following services. J2EE has two CORBA technologies that are used to interact with the legacy systems. They are JavaIDL (Java Interface Definition Language) and RMI-IIOP (Remote Method Invocation- Internet InterORB protocol). Java Message Service (JMS) enables asynchronous communication of fault-tolerant messages. JMS is the glue that binds the various tiers."
