example of IS

I am studying IS but I am yet to find an example of IS. Is database IS? Is expert system IS? What is example of IS?

And this question came to me while studying about this issue-:
is security policy same as security methods? justify your argument with appropriate example of Information system implementation scenario. I want 1 information system implementation scenario for this question so this question came to me. Can you tell me where is IS used? is it just a db?

Is IS instrumentation system? Microprocessor based instrumentation? What is it?

 

[sysprog]

Did you look up 'information systems', as in your thread title?

 

[shivajikobardan]

yes

 

[sysprog]

Presumably, then, you know that, e.g., an ATM transaction includes information system interaction $-$ the 'information system' does the 'data processing', and it includes the IO device (ATM terminal) that provides the user interaction interface.

isn't that microprocessor based system?

isn't that microprocessor based system?

The ATM is microprocessor-based, but it's connected to 'information systems' that can check and update an account balance.

The information system holds data, in a database. So to use an ATM, for example, the machine contacts your credit card company or your bank, checks that you have a balance that allows you to take money out (not exceeded your monthly limit on a credit card, or have not gone overdrawn on your bank account) and checks that the card hasn't been reported as stolen. Reports back the remaining balance in the bank sometimes. This data is held in an information system.

An online database I wrote contained the members of a club, some limited details about them and gave them access to read how much flying they had down, to show them how much they owed in flying fees, and to see if they were in credit or debt after their last payment (the system showed an extract from the master database in the office, and didn't give them any way to edit things).

So information systems contain information, and displays it on request. Some let you edit things, others do not.

We are all using an IS here!
