indistinctive judgements?
Heuristics
Intelligent agents are also known as
Bots
In the context of the components of a typical expert system, " " is similar to a
database, but in addition to storing facts and figures it keeps track of rules and
explanations associated with facts.
a knowledge base
In the context of adding artificial intelligence (AI) technologies to a decision
support system model base component, " " can be added to include heuristics in
the model base's analysis capabilities.
Expert Systems
What was developed so that users could communicate with computers in human
language?
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC)
A series of well-defined phases performed in sequence that serves as a framework for
developing a system or project.
Phase 1
Planning
Formation of the Task Force
should consist of representatives from different departments, systems analysts,
technical advisors, and top management
Internal Users
employees who use the system regularly
External Users
not employees but do use the system; they include customers, contractors, suppliers,
and other business partners. Although they are not normally part of the task force, their
input is essential
Feasibility Study
measure of how beneficial or practical an information system will be to an organization
Economic Feasibility
assess a system's costs and benefits
Tangible development and operating costs for the system must be itemized - this leads
to the creation of a budget
Tangible and intangible benefits have to be identified and measured - a challenge to this
is accurately assessing intangible costs and benefits
Technical Feasibility
