Centralized
| A centralized system is one in which a central authority makes decisions and manages the system's operation. This central authority may be a single person, a group of people, or an organization. In a centralized system, the central authority has complete control over the system and its operation. This can be contrasted with a decentralized system, in which there is no central authority and decision-making is distributed among the various components of the system. |
