Management Information Systems 2010/2011 Lecture … (10) 81 Transaction Processing Systems Transaction processing systems (TPS's) were among the earliest computerized systems. Their primary purpose is to record, process, validate, and store transactions that take place in the various functional areas of a business for future retrieval and use. Transaction processing systems are cross-functional information systems that process data resulting from the occurrence of business transactions, such as sales, purchases, deposits, withdrawals, refunds, and payments. A TPS is also acts as main link between the organization and external entities, such as customers' suppliers, distributors, and regulatory agencies Types of Transaction Processing System (TPS's) 1. 2. On-line system: involves a direct connection between operator and the TPS program. They provide immediate result and used to process a single transaction at a time. Ex: an order arrives by telephone call; it is processed at

Shannon and Weaver model of Communication In 1949 an engineer and researcher at Bell Laboratories, named Shannon, founded an information theory based on mathematical theories which was about signal transmission with maximum telephone line capacity and minimum distortion. For the first time, he introduced the qualitative and quantitative model of communication as a statistical process underlying information theory. The aim of Shannon was signal transmission from source to destination through transmitter and receiver across the channel with minimal interference or error. The information theory initially developed to separate noise from the signals carrying the information. Later on Weaver extended and applied Shannon's information theory for different kinds of communication. While Shannon was focused on engineering aspect of his theory, Weaver developed the philosophical aspects of this theory related to human communication. Shannon and Weaver model of communication has 7 main eleme

TRADITIONAL KNOWLEDGE DIGITAL LIBRARY (TKDL) Traditional Knowledge Digital Library (TKDL) is a collaborative project between Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Ministry of Science and Technology and Department of Ayurveda, Yoga & Naturopathy, Unani, Siddha and Homoeopathy (AYUSH), Ministry of Health and Family Welfare. TKDL involves documentation of the knowledge available in public domain on traditional knowledge from the existing literature related to Ayurveda, Unani and Siddha in digitized format, in five international languages which are English, French, German, Spanish and Japanese. So far, the TKDL includes about 2.12 lakh medicinal formulations ( Ayurveda: 82,900; Unani: 1,15,300; Siddha: 12,950 ), from 148 books available in public domain, and the database exists in 34 million A4 size pages. Creation of TKDL – Yoga is under process and till date about 900 no. of Yoga postures from 14 old yoga books in public domain have been transcribed, which will also
