Batch vs. On-Line Transaction Processing

Two types of TPS: Batch processing

A system whereby business transactions are accumulated over a period of time and prepared for processing as a single unit or batch

On-line transaction processing (OLTP) A system whereby each transaction is processed

immediately, without the delay of accumulating transactions into a batch

Management Information Systems (MIS)

Page 25: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

WHAT IS MIS? The MIS program combines the

fundamental intellectual content of both Computer Science and Business Management Economics.

MIS is the application of information technology to support the major functions and activities of either a private sector business or public sector institution.

These systems provide feedback on organisational activities and help to support managerial decision making.

Page 26: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

In the past, organizations recognized the importance of managing resources such as labor, capital, and raw materials.

Today, it is widely accepted that managing the information resource is very often equally important. MIS supports the process of collection, manipulation, storage, distribution and utilization of an organization's information resources.

Page 27: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

WHAT IS MIS?

The vast majority of information systems are developed for and used by people in functional areas (e.g., manufacturing, human resources, accounting, finance and marketing). To develop information systems that address the needs of the organization, MIS professionals must possess a solid mix of business and technical knowledge.

Page 28: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

They must understand organizational structures, objectives, operations (including processes and the flows of data between processes) and the financial implications related to these factors.

MIS managers and professionals must stay up-to-date with evolving information technologies and have a solid foundation of technical skills to select appropriate technologies and to implement computer-based information systems.

Page 29: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

Business information systems (BIS) The interactive relationships between the

information systems and organizations, both technically and socially, and the business opportunities and challenges brought about by the BIS.

This describes information systems used to support the functional areas of business.

Page 30: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

MIS helps:

to establish relevant and measurable objectives to monitor results and performances (reach ratios) to send alerts, in some cases daily, to managers at

each level of the organization, on all deviations between results and pre-established objectives and budgets.

Decision Support Systems (DSS)

Information system at the management level of an organization that combines data and sophisticated analytical models or data analysis tools to support semi-structured and unstructured decision making.

Page 42: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

TYPE: Management-level INPUTS: low volume data PROCESSING: simulations, analysis OUTPUTS: decision analysis USERS: professionals, staff managers DECISION-MAKING: semi-structured  

EXAMPLE: sales region analysis

Page 43: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

Characteristics of Decision-Support Systems

1. DSS offer users flexibility, adaptability, and a quick response.

2. DSS operate with little or no assistance from professional programmers.

3. DSS provide support for decisions and problems whose solutions cannot be specified in advance.

4. DSS use sophisticated data analysis and modelling tools.

Decision Support Systems

Decision support system (DSS) is a computer-based information system that combines models and data in an attempt to solve semistructured and unstructured problems with user involvement.

Page 46: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)
Page 47: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

Decision Support Systems - Components

Every DSS consists of at least data management, user interface, model management components, and the end users.A few also contain a knowledge management component.

Page 48: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

A DSS data management subsystem contains all the data that flow from several sources, and are extracted prior to their entry into a DSS database or a data warehouse.

A model management subsystem contains completed models (financial, statistical, management science, or other quantitative models), and the routines to develop DSSs applications.

Page 49: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

The user interface covers all aspects of the communications between a user and the DSS.

The Users.  The person (manager, or the decision maker) faced with the problem or decision that the DSS is designed to support

A knowledge-based or intelligent subsystem provides the expertise for solving some aspects of the problem, or the knowledge that can enhance the operation of the other DSS components.

Group Decision Support System (GDSS) A Group Decision Support System

(GDSS), also known as an Electronic Meeting System or groupware, is commonly defined as a collection of software, hardware, and procedures designed for the automated support of group work

(Dennis, et al., 1988; Kraemer & King, 1988).

Page 52: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

Group Decision Support Systems

Groups One-room group whose members are in one place

Virtual group, whose members are in different locations

The DSS methodology was initially designed to support individual decision makers. However, decision making is frequently a shared process. Where a group may be involved in making the decision. When a decision-making group is supported electronically, the support is referred to as a group decision support system (GDSS).

Page 53: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

a DSS whose design, structure, and usage reflect the way in which people cooperate to make a particular decision or type of decision

Page 54: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

an interactive, computer-based system which facilitates the solution of unstructured problems by a set of decision makers working together as a group

consisting of a set of software, hardware, language components, and procedures that support a group of people engaged in a decision-related meeting

Page 55: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

Characteristics of a GDSS

Special design: Effective communication Group decision making

Ease of use Flexibility

Page 56: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

Characteristics of a GDSS

Decision-making support Delphi approach: Decision makers are scattered around

the globe Brainstorming: Say things as you think---think out loud Group consensus approach: The group reaches a

unanimous decision (everybody agrees) Nominal group technique: Voting

Reduction of negative group behavior A trained meeting facilitator to help with sidetracking

Automated record keeping

ISS - Artificial Intelligence The development of machines that exhibit intelligent characteristics draws upon several sciences and technologies, ranging from linguistics to mathematics.

Page 62: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

Expert Systems (ES) – One type of ISS

Expert systems (ESs) are attempts to mimic human experts. It is decision-making software that can reach a level of performance comparable to a human expert in some specialized and usually narrow problem area. The idea is simple: expertise is transferred from an expert or other source of expertise to the computer.

Page 63: Transaction Processing System (TPS) Office Automation System (OAS)

The transfer of expertise from an expert to a computer and then to the user involves four activities:

Knowledge acquisition (from experts or other sources)

Knowledge Base -Knowledge representation (organized as rules or frames in the computer)

Knowledge Engine

Knowledge inferencing is performed in a component called the inference engine of the ES and results in the recommendation.

Knowledge transfer to the user (the expert’s knowledge has been transferred to users).
