approach Terminologies Used Introduction 1. System---Its a set of components that interact to accomplish some objectives. It can consist of tools, machines, procedures & people & required order & management. 2. Boundaries---A boundary constitute of features that delimit (define) or mark the extent of a system. I.e. separate those things, which are part of systems from those outside system. The things outside system constitute system environment. System boundary provides scope for the system. 3. Environment--- the things outside the system, which may affect what, goes on in the system, or which maybe affected by what goes on inside the system. 4. System Objective---The purpose or goal of the system for which it exists to achieve. A system may have one or several objectives. For a CBIS, the system basically is designed to transform data into information & distribute / disseminate the information to the intended users. 5. Process and transformation---most systems are involved in some transformation of something i.e. changing the state of something into something else. 6. Inputs and outputs --- a system communicates with its environment interims of input to and output from system i.e. system transforms input into outputs. 7. Subsystems an inherent (inbuilt) property of systems where large systems are seen to be made up of smaller parts known as sub-systems. The study of systems involves the composing or factoring them into small parts, resulting in a hierarchy. 8. State the behavior of system can be defined in terms of notion of state. The state of a system is defined by values appropriate to the systems attributes of state variables. 9. Control open systems normally adapt to changes in their external stages. Control is the mechanism that implements adaptation in most system. It is meant to regulate behavior of system. Control is based on defined measures of performance eg for an IS the time it takes to respond for the user query. 10. System Feedback
The types of feedback systems control is normally exercised within
a system through some form of feedback. Output from the process of a system is feedback to the control mechanism. The control mechanism then adjusts the control signal to the process on the basis of data it received. Feedback can be +ve or ve. Ve feedback allows system to amplify its behavior in a direction opposite of the general direction. +Ve amplify the behavior in the same direction the system is moving. Example-in the marketing world 2 similar products, A & B, can be launched with an equal advertising budget. The product that gets the best response from consumers can then have its advertising budget increased. This is known as +ve feedback if you choose to increase the budget of one with poor response its ve feedback
