CIS 3380 Study Guide - Midterm Guide: File Server, Web 2.0, Tacit Knowledge
Decision Making and Neural Networks
• Decision Making Process Steps
1. Gather Intel
2. Design alternatives
3. Choose
4. Implementation
• Types of Decisions
1. Structured - established
2. Semi-Structured – few processes help to evaulate
3. Unstructured – No prior processes exist
• Artificial Intelligence –simulates human intelligence
• Fuzzy Logic – mathematical method of handling imprecise or subjective info
• Excel DSS Models
1. What If
2. Sensitivity
3. Goal Seeking
4. Optimization
Innovative Organizations
• Digital Darwinism – implies that organization which cannot adapt to the new
demands placed on them for surviving in the information age are to extinction
• Evolution of the Internet – Web 1.0 → Web 2.0 → Web 3.0
• Disruptive Technology – a new way of doing things that initially does not meet
the needs of existing customers
• Sustaining Technology – produces an improved product customers are eager to
buy
Collaborative Partnerships
• Explicit Knowledge – consists of anything that can documented, achieved and
coded often with help of IT
• Tacit Knowledge – knowledge contained in people’s heads
• Open Systems/Open Source
e-Business
• E-bussiness – businesses on internet
• e-ecommerce – the internet
• 4 e-business models
• e-business revenue models
Networks and Telecommunications

Document Summary
Interoperability capability of two or more computer systems to share data and resources, even though they are made by different manufacturers: tcp/ip layers, volp transmit voice calls over long distance telephones. Integrating wireless tech: rfid radio frequency identification - barcodes, gis geographic info system consists of hardware, software, and data that provide location info for display on a multidimensional map, wireless security threats. Sustainable mis infrastructures: green it, web services, cloud computing, what is it, public/private/hybrid clouds, grid and virtualized computing. Developing software: system testing modes, business requirements, sdlc phases, system implementation. Methodologies for agile: software development methodologies, waterfall, agile, scrum, system coupling and interoperability, software as a service. Projects: project failures, successful project attributes, project constraints, project mgmt terms and roles, change mgmt, outsourcing. Cheap: warm has recent backups already via routine. In between cheap and expensive: hot ready to roll anytime with current data.
