The importance of Information system


In the world of globalization, Information system is such where data are collected, classified and put into process interpreting the result thereon in order to provide an integrated series of information for further communicating and analyzing. In a progressively more spirited worldwide atmosphere, Information System plays the role as ‘enabler and facilitator’, which endows with tactical values to the officialdom and considerable step up to the excellence of administration. ‘An Information System is a particular type of work system that uses information technology to detain, put on the air, store, retrieve, manipulate or display information, thereby partisan one or more other work structure’. In totting up to taking side’s assessment making, co-ordination and control, information systems may also help managers and workers investigate problems, envisage complex subjects and generate new merchandise or services.

Work systems and the information systems that support typically undergo at least four phases: a) initiation, the process of defining the need to change an existing work system b) development, the process of acquiring and configuring/installing the necessary hardware, software and other resources c) implementation, the process of making new system operational in the organisation, and d) Operation and maintenance, the process concerned with the operation of the system, correcting any problems that may arise and ensuring that the system is delivering the anticipating benefits. The management of these processes can be achieved and controlled using a series of techniques and management tools which, collectively, tend to be known as Structured Methodologies.  Two important methodologies: v PRINCE (Projects IN a Controlled Environment), and v SSADM (Structured Systems Analysis and Design Methodology), developed by the Central Computing and Telecommunications Agency (CCTA), are used widely in the UK public sector and in some Developing Countries, like Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal etc. Prior to comment on the application of these methods in the Developing Countries, it would be pertinent to describe brief outlines of these methodologies.

Irin, a mother of silent ocean

Image
A mother behind the deep sea and the ocean Walking past in the silent world of beauty and heaven,  She knows her work in motion and hurdles; Never hesitating through the rains and the clouds  In moving behind the shadow and perils of earth.  She remains happy by her unusual courage; To speak the truth in capsize haze and relies To switch the darkened cloud of the storm.  She walks past all along in the glowing streams  Underneath the big shades of the banyan tree As if the mother of all the child In the earth And the beams of light not under coercive strength. What she sees and explores in front of her  She is moving in her way to have bliss  Upon the supplication she always does.  She becomes remorse and dilapidated  when She hears the destitute of a motherless baby Her sorrows knows no bounds As if her heart always renders to restore the life of the child.  She is second to none to roll her tears  When sadness, pains and death stirs her.  L

Home, my sweet home

Home, My Sweet home There is no denying the fact that when our time comes to die, we should  not behave  like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way.  We should sing our death song, and die like a hero going home. The palpable image that comes to our cognizance when the expression ‘Home’ is perceived is of an edifice, chalet or a bed-sitter. A home cannot be just defined by a structure with a collection of rooms inside, for some it can also be their smartphones or even their refugee camp. According to Melody Bettie,” Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend”.   A home is customarily distinct and comforting for any person but for realism of pedagogy, childr

Hooks Law and its application

Hooke's Law Hooke's Law states that, for certain elastic materials, force is proportional to extension, when a sample is stretched. This means that the extension of the sample increases linearly with the amount of force applied. Materials that obey Hooke's law are called Hookean Materials. Springs behave like Hookean Materials.Hooke's law can be written as  F = kx , where  F  is Force,  x  is extension, and k  is the Stiffness Constant of the sample. The stiffness constant describes the stiffness of a material, and is measured in Nm -1  (or Kgs -2 ). F = kx Hooke's law can be demonstrated with the use of Force-Extension graphs. However, no sample follows Hooke's law indefinitely, and there comes a point, called the Limit of Proportionality, where there is no longer a linear relationship between force and extension. After yet more force is applied, the Elastic Limit will be reached. This means that the sample will no longer return to its o
