Study Notes

Overview of IT and Information Society

The contemporary society is often referred to as the "Information Society" or "Information Processing Society."
In this society, individuals must sift through large amounts of data to locate beneficial information.

OSI and TCP/IP

OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model serves as a framework for implementing networking protocols.
TCP/IP is a suite of communication protocols that enables intercommunication between devices on the internet.

Local Area Network (LAN)

LAN comprises essential techniques that facilitate communication within a limited geographical area.
Various LAN techniques enhance performance and connectivity among devices.

Internet Framework

TCP/IP protocol provides the foundational communication mechanism for the internet.
Basic internet configuration includes IP addressing, subnetting, and routing principles.
Multiple internet services, including email and web hosting, facilitate global connectivity.

Network Management

Network operations management focuses on the administration and optimization of networks.
Management techniques encompass performance monitoring, fault management, and configuration management.

Information Security Overview

Information security involves protecting information from unauthorized access or corruption.
Key areas include security technology, management practices, and defining evaluation criteria for security agencies.

Information Security Measures

Human security measures focus on user education and awareness to prevent security breaches.
Technical measures involve the implementation of firewalls and encryption to safeguard data.
Physical security measures ensure the physical protection of networks and hardware.
Security implementation technology aids in the deployment of secure systems and protocols.

Data Structures and Algorithms

Data structures such as arrays, lists, stacks, queues, and trees organize data for efficient access and modification.
Basic algorithms include flowcharts for visualization, data search processes, and sorting methods.
Algorithm design principles guide the development of efficient and effective algorithms.

Character Encoding Standards

JIS Code: A character code for representing Japanese-specific characters based on ISO standards, with different formats for half-width and full-width characters.
EBCDIC: IBM's Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code primarily used in large computer systems.
Unicode: A universal character code supporting characters from multiple languages, promoting smooth data exchange.

Floating Point Representation

Floating-point representation uses several components: sign, exponent, and fraction (mantissa) to represent numerical values.
Different methods for exponent representation include 2's complement and excess notation.
Normalization of mantissa ensures greater precision in representing decimal numbers.

Numerical Errors

Trailing Digit Loss: Occurs when small values are ignored in calculations due to large absolute values.
Cancellation of Significant Digits: Arises when nearly equal values are subtracted, leading to loss of precision.
Overflow and Underflow: Errors that occur when calculations exceed the predefined numerical range.
Absolute and Relative Error: Measures to evaluate the accuracy of computed values against the true value.
