Information and information systems
Information Processing & Management, 1993The purpose of an information system is to collect, store, process and distribute information. The concept of information is itself not well understood. It is in some sense a relative concept, rather than an absolute one. That is, a data object is assumed to contain information if the receiver of the data interprets it in such a way that the received ...

Information-As-System in Information Systems
International Journal of Information Technologies and Systems Approach, 2008This article investigates the complex nature of information in information systems (IS). Based on the systems thinking framework, this study argues that information in IS is a system in its own right. A conceptual model of information-as-system is built on the systems thinking perspective adopted from Gharajedaghi’s holistic thinking rooted from Ackoff

System as information—information as system
World Futures, 1997It is tried to show that pragmatic information as a generalised concept of information plays a role as an interacting meaningful entity between systems. Systems are sources of information and information is able to build up systems. Therefore system and information seem to be two sides of the same coin.

An information system for developing information systems
Proceedings of the May 16-19, 1983, national computer conference on - AFIPS '83, 1983This paper considers a paradigm for the development of software through the use of a complete, integrated-design database. A prototype information system for the implementation of information management systems is then described. This tool manages the requirement definitions, the process and data flow, and all design and operational documentation ...

Information Systems in Management Science
Management Science, 1967The lack of application of computer technology to medical service is worthy of note. Although there is a great deal of discussion and an obvious need, there have been precious few successful applications of computers to the solution of large scale medical problems. One area of modest success is that of on-line control.

From Information Systems to Interactive Information Systems
2017In this chapter we propose a departure from classical notion of information systems. We propose to bring in the background of agent’s interaction with physical reality in arriving at a specific information system. The proposals for generalizing the notion of information systems are made from two aspects. In the first aspect, we talk about incorporating

Information System Support for Information System Development
1993Information systems used to be built from scratch, because there were few, if any, components available to base the new systems upon. This is not the case any more. Information systems are increasingly built through the reuse, modification, integration and interfacing of commercially available software components.

Symposium Record Policy Issues in Information and Communication Technologies in Medical Applications, 1989
Computers—mainframes, minicomputers, and microcomputers—have effected marked change in the health care industry and particularly the nursing profession. Computers are becoming a part of our everyday existence and are influencing “man” by their human-like characteristics.
