Principles of Information Systems, Thirteenth Edition Chapter 1 An Introduction to Information Systems 1 Objectives After completing this chapter, you will be able to: 1. Distinguish data from information and knowledge, and describe the characteristics of quality data 2. Identify the fundamental components of an information system and describe their function 3. Identify the basic types of business information systems Data, Information, and Knowledge Exploring the distinctions between them in the world of sales: Data Raw sales transactions Example: individual sales transactions recorded on a specific date Data lacks context and interpretation Information Organizing and processing raw sales data so that it has additional value beyond the value of the individual facts Example: aggregating daily sales to calculate weekly and monthly totals Information reveals visible trends in sales patterns Knowledge: Integrating various sales information Example: analyzing historical sales data to identify seasonal trends, considering external factors like promotions and economic conditions Knowledge allows for a deeper understanding of trends, beyond surface-level insights 3 Data, Information, and Knowledge 4 The Value and Quality of Information Valuable information helps people perform tasks more efficiently and effectively Inaccurate data can result in loss of potential new customers and reduced customer satisfaction If an organization’s information is not accurate or complete: People can make poor decisions, costing thousands, or even millions, of dollars Depending on the type of data you need: Some characteristics become more important than others For example, accuracy and completeness are critical for data used in accounting for the management of company assets 5 Characteristics of Quality Information 6 What is an Information System? An information system (IS) is a set of interrelated elements that: Collect (input) Process Store Disseminate data and information Provides a feedback mechanism to monitor and control its operation to make sure it continues to meet its goals and objectives 7 Types of Feedback: 1) User Feedback A system can collect feedback from users regarding their experience, satisfaction, and suggestions for improvement This can be done through surveys, user feedback forms, or online reviews User feedback helps identify usability issues, functionality gaps, or areas where the system can be enhanced to better meet user needs 8 Types of Feedback: 2) Error Reporting When errors or exceptions occur within the system, a feedback mechanism can be in place to capture and report them This feedback helps identify the root causes of errors, troubleshoot issues, and implement corrective actions to prevent future occurrences Source: https://carldesouza.com/turning-off-dynamics-365-error-report/ 9 What is an Information System? A computer-based information system (CBIS) is a single set of hardware, software, databases, networks, people, and procedures 10 People Good systems can boost job satisfaction and worker productivity Information systems personnel include all the people who manage, run, program, and maintain the system 11 Procedures Procedure defines the steps to achieve a specific end result, such as Enter a customer order Pay a supplier invoice When using a CBIS, it’s important to follow procedures for operating, maintaining, and securing the system 12 Procedures: More examples User authentication procedure: outlines the steps for users to log in securely to the system. It may include instructions on providing usernames, passwords, and any additional authentication factors Data backup procedure: defines the process of regularly creating backup copies of data stored in the CBIS. It may include details on selecting backup media, and verifying the integrity of backed-up data Data retention procedure: specifies the guidelines for retaining and disposing of data within the CBIS. It may include the duration of data retention based on legal, or business needs 13 Information Systems in Organizations To ensure the successful implementation and utilization of information systems, organizations should focus on: Well-trained workers System support Better teamwork Redesigned processes New decision rights 14 Redesigned Processes (Reengineering) vs Continuous Improvement Reengineering Also called Business Process Reengineering (BPR) Involves the radical redesign of business processes, organizational structures, and information systems to achieve a breakthrough in business results ”خالد الغنيم يروي حكاية أول تعاون لشركة "علم" مع "الجوازات.د - https://twitter.com/i/status/1642286268598853633 Continuous improvement Constantly seeking ways to improve business processes and add value to products and services 15 16 Reengineering and Continuous Improvement © 2017 Cengage Learning.

The Importance of Learning the Binary System ◼ Modern computer systems do not represent numeric values using the decimal system. ◼ Computers use a binary or two's complement numbering system. ◼ Learning the binary system helps you to understand how the basic operations (e.g., addition) of the processor are done. ◼ To be aware of the limitations of computer arithmetic, you must understand how computers represent numbers. Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates 2. Number Systems ◼ There are four number bases commonly used in programming. Name Base Digits Symbol Binary 2 0,1 (N)2 Octal 8 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 (N)8 Decimal 10 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 (N)10 Hexadecimal 16 0,..,9,A,B,C,D,E,F (N)16 Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Decimal Number System ◼ The Decimal Number System uses base 10. It includes the digits from 0 through 9. The weighted values for each position is as follows: 104 103 102 101 100 10-1 10-2 10-3 10000 1000 100 10 1.1.01.001 ◼ When you see a number like "123", you don't think about the value 123. Instead, you generate a mental image of how many items this value represents. In reality, the number 123 represents: 1 * 102 + 2 * 101 + 3 * 100 = 1 * 100 + 2 * 10 + 3 * 1 = 100 + 20 + 3 = 123 Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Decimal Number System (Cont.) ◼ Each digit appearing to the left of the decimal point represents a value between zero and nine times power of ten represented by its position in the number. ◼ Digits appearing to the right of the decimal point represent a value between zero and nine times an increasing negative power of ten. ◼ For example, the value 725.194 is represented as follows: 7*102 + 2*101 + 5*100 + 1*10-1 + 9*10-2 + 4*10-3 = 7*100 + 2*10 + 5*1 + 1*0.1 + 9*0.01 + 4*0.001 = 700 + 20 + 5 + 0.1 + 0.09 +.0004 = 725.194 Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Binary Number System ◼ The smallest "unit" of data on a binary computer is a single bit. ◼ Electronic components like transistors have a digital nature. ◼ They can be either in an "on" state or an "off" state, representing binary 1 and 0, respectively. ◼ The binary number system operates similarly to the decimal system, but with a base of 2. In binary, only the digits 0 and 1 are used. 0,1 ◼ The weighted values for each position is determined as follows: 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 2-1 2-2 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1.5.25 Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Binary to Decimal ◼ Let’s convert the following two binary numbers to decimal numbers: 10011 and 1101.01 10011= 1*24 + 0*23 + 0*22 + 1*21 + 1*20 = 1*16 + 0*8 + 0*4 + 1*2 + 1*1 = 16 + 0 + 0 + 2 + 1 = 19 1101.01= 1*23 + 1*22 + 0*21 + 1*20 + 0*2-1 + 1*2-2 = 1*8 + 1*4 + 0*2 + 1*1 + 0*.5 + 1*.25 = 8 + 4 + 0 + 1 +.25 = 13.25 Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Octal Number System ◼ The octal number system uses base 8 and includes only the digits 0 through 7: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7 ◼ The weighted values for each position is as follows: 85 84 83 82 81 80 32768 4096 512 64 8 1 Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Octal to Decimal ◼ Let’s convert the following two octal numbers to decimal numbers: 736 and 670.32 736= 7*82 + 3*81 + 6*80 = 7*64 + 3*8 + 6*1 = 448 + 24 + 6 = 478 670.32= 6*82 + 7*81 + 0*80 + 3*8-1 + 2*8-2 = 6*64 + 7*8 + 0*1 + 3*.125 + 2*.015625 = 440.40625 Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Hexadecimal Number System ◼ The Hexadecimal Number System uses base 16 and includes the digits 0 through 9 and the letters A, B, C, D, E, and F: 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E, and F ◼ The weighted values for each position is as follows: 163 162 161 160 4096 256 16 1 Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Hex to Decimal ◼ To convert from Hex to Decimal, multiply each hex digit by its weight and add the results. 0AFB2 = A*163 + F*162 + B*161 + 2*160 = 10*4096 + 15*256 + 11*16 + 2*1 = 40960 + 3840 + 176 + 2 = 44978 Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates 3. Conversion of Decimal Numbers ◼ Decimal to Binary Conversion ◼ Decimal to Octal conversion ◼ Decimal to Hexadecimal system Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Decimal to Binary ◼ This method consists of two steps: ◼ Step 1 ◼ Dividing the integer part by 2 repeatedly until its value becomes 0, while keeping track of the remainder R at each division. ◼ Step 2 ◼ Concatenate the remainders from the least significant bit (LBS) at the top to the most significant bit (MSB) at the bottom. ◼ Write the number from right to left. Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Decimal to Binary (Cont.) ◼ Converting the decimal number 18 into the binary system. Number/Base Integer Part Remainder Remark 18 /2 9 0 LSB 18 = 2 * 9 + 0 9 /2 4 1 9=2*4 + 1 4 /2 2 0 4=2*2 + 0 2 /2 1 0 2=2*1 + 0 1 /2 0 1 MSB 1 = 2 * 0 + 1 ◼ Thus, 1810 = 100102 Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Decimal to Octal ◼ The same method is applied in this case except that we will perform successive divisions by 8 ◼ Why divide by 8? Because the base of the octal system is 8 ◼ Example: Translating the decimal number 18 into the octal system. Number/Base Integer Part Remainder Remark 18 /8 2 2 18 = 8 * 2 + 2 2 /8 0 2 2=8*0 + 2 ◼ Thus, 1810 = 228 Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Decimal to Hexadecimal ◼ The same method is applied in this case except that we will perform successive divisions by 16 ◼ Why divide by 16? Because the base of the hexadecimal system is 16 ◼ Example: Translating the decimal number 18 into the hexadecimal system. Number/Base Integer Part Remainder Remark 18 /16 1 2 18 = 16 * 1 + 2 1 /16 0 1 1 = 16 * 0 + 1 ◼ Thus, 1810 = 1216 Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates 4. Conversion of Binary Numbers ◼ A major problem with the binary system is the large number of digits needed to represent even small values. ◼ To represent 20210, eight binary digits are needed, compared to only three in the decimal system. ◼ When dealing with large numeric values, binary numbers quickly become unmanageable. ◼ The hexadecimal (base 16) numbering system solves this issue with two key features: ◼ Compact representation. ◼ Simple conversion between hex and binary, and vice versa.

Considering the binary number (1111 1000)2 represented in two’s complement, is it a positive or negative number? ◼ Negative, because the MSB is 1 6. Considering the binary number (0111 1000)2 represented in two’s complement, is it a positive or negative number? ◼ Positive, because the MSB is 0 Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Exponential Growth in Value Representation: 4-bit vs. 8-bit ◼ 4-bit Representation: ◼ With 4 bits, we can represent 2^4 = 16 unique values. ◼ These values range from 0000 to 1111 in binary, or 0 to 15 in decimal. ◼ 8-bit Representation: ◼ With 8 bits, we can represent 2^8 = 256 unique values. ◼ These values range from 00000000 to 11111111 in binary, or 0 to 255 in decimal. ◼ Transitioning from 4-bit to 8-bit representation results in an exponential increase in the number of possible values. Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Addressing Limitations in 32-bit Systems ◼ 32-bit Systems: ◼ Memory addresses are represented by 32 bits, allowing for a total of 2^32 (=4 Giga) unique addresses, resulting in a maximum addressable memory of approximately 4GB. ◼ 64-bit Systems: ◼ With 2^64 unique addresses, 64-bit systems can theoretically address up to 16 exabytes (EB) of memory. ◼ The increase of unique memory addresses from 32 to 64 bits is exponential, not linear ◼ With each additional bit, the addressable memory space doubles. ◼ The transition from 32-bit to 64-bit systems overcomes the memory limitations of the 32-bit systems.

Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Character Encoding: Extended ASCII ◼ Extended ASCII extends the basic ASCII set by utilizing 8 bits, thus accommodating an additional 128 characters. ◼ 128 characters from ASCII + additional 128 characters = 256 ◼ The additional characters are usually of a specific language such as Arabic, Turkish, and Thai. [link] ◼ Unlike ASCII, Extended ASCII lacks a unified standard. ◼ Consequently, compatibility issues arise. ◼ For example, when a system that uses Latin/Arabic interacts with another system that uses Latin/Turkish. Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Character Encoding: UTF-8 ◼ UTF-8 (Unicode Transformation Format) ◼ Uses a flexible system to represent characters from almost any language, including emojis! ◼ A variable-length encoding. ◼ UTF-8 uses one to four bytes to represent characters. ◼ Encodes more than 1.1 million characters. ◼ The first 100,000 characters in UTF-8 [link] ◼ In theory, it’s capable of encoding more than a billion characters! Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Character Encoding: UTF-8 ◼ UTF-8 is efficient and backward compatible with ASCII ◼ By using one byte for ASCII characters, UTF-8 ensures backward compatibility For instance, the space character (' ' retains its ASCII representation (00100000 in UTF-8 ◼ UTF-8 handles special characters that aren’t in ASCII ◼ These less common characters are represented using multiple bytes in UTF-8 ◼ E amples: ◼ The Euro sign ('€' is encoded as 11100010 10000010 10101100 ◼ is encoded as 11100010 10011000 10111010 Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates Optional Resources⁺ ◼ How does the UTF-8 work? ◼ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MijmeoH9LT4 ◼ https://symbl.cc/en/ Lecture 3 – Binary System and Logic Gates
