(IEEE) (1) The arrangement of a computer system or component as defined by the number, nature, and interconnections of its constituent parts.

Configuration is the word used by the rest of the architectural community to refer to what we call an aggregate. We changed the word we use because at one point we were using the word "configuration" to refer to a set of components, connectors, and attachments, to the process of turning a partially specified object on the shelf into a fully specified object in a design, or to the suite of tools making up a design environment.

In reference to a single microcomputer, the sum of a system’s internal and external components, including memory, disk drives, keyboard, video, and (generally) less critical add-on hardware such as a mouse, modem, or printer. The configuration of a computer system affects the way it works and the way it is used. Software (the operating system and various device drivers), the user’s choices established through configuration files such as the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files on IBM PCs and compatibles, and sometimes hardware (switches and jumpers) are needed to “configure the configuration†to work correctly. Although system configuration can be changed, as by adding more memory or disk capacity, the basic structure of the system- its architecture- remains the same. In relation to networks, the entire interconnected set of hardware, or the way in which a network is laid out – the manner in which elements are connected.
