INFORMATIC SYSTEM

This area constitutes the mathematical foundation of information science (informatics). It

includes type theory, mathematical logic (for computer science), program theory, program
verification, theory on algorithm, information theory, coding theory, cryptology, and so on.

In the area of abstract theory of programming languages and mathematical logic, our
education and research are carried out based on type theory and lambda-calculus, because
they lie in the core of the programming languages and have close relationship with
intuitionistic logic and substructural logic.

Program theory and formal verification enable us to apply such abstract theories mentioned
above to actual computer programs. Besides the abstract theories, we need appropriate
algorithms, data structures, and verification frameworks so as to use computers for verifying
that the behavior of a program satisfies its specification.

On the other hand, among theories on algorithm, we focus on computation models and
systems for efficient algorithms. Our education and research include also coding theory and
cryptology which are fundamentals for reliable and secure network communications, and deal
with algebra, theory of random numbers, computational complexity, information theory,
cryptographic protocols, and so on. Those subjects are treated as discrete mathematics in a
broad sense.

We are doing education and research for those subjects mentioned above.

Major in Information Systems

From programming to project management to real-world projects, the Information Systems
Program has it all. The flexible nature of the program encourages students to explore their
own interest in contemporary content areas such as: business/enterprise systems, computing
and information systems & technology, social and global systems, and quantitative analysis
and research methods. A wide variety of elective courses, additional majors and minors, and
accelerated masters degree programs allow IS students to take advantage of the many unique
educational opportunities available at Carnegie Mellon University. For specific information
regarding courses and requirements, please visit thE.

Where Information Technology Meets Real

World
The Information Systems Program (IS) is an internationally recognized undergraduate major
for students who want to design and implement effective solutions to meet organizational and
management needs for information and decision support. Graduates of the Information
Systems program are ideally situated to take a leading role in shaping our information-based
future.
Information Systems is a unique and innovative program in Carnegie Mellon's Dietrich
College of Humanities and Social Sciences. Students completing the program will be well
grounded in the fundamentals of organization theory, decision making, teamwork and
leadership, and research methods as well as current and emerging information systems
technologies.

As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, we prepare students to participate in

emerging opportunities in software systems and services, wherever they may be. Building on
our solid educational core, we encourage students to learn more about world cultures and
business through study of global systems development, cross cultural communications,
history, and languages

Answer 1. (a)
Communication
Meaning and
Definitions
Communication is
the nervous system of
an organisation. It
keeps the members of
theorganisation
informed about the
internal and external
happenings relevant
to a task and of
interestto the
organisation. It co-
ordinates the efforts
of the members
towards achieving
organisationalobjecti
ves. It is the process
of influencing the
action of a person or
a group. It is a
process
of meaningful
interaction among
human beings to
initiate, execute,
accomplish, or
prevent
certainactions.
Communication is,
thus, the life blood of
an organisation.
Without
communication,
anorganisation, an
organisation is lifeless
and its very existence
is in danger.The term
communication has
been derived from
the Latin word
cmmunis that
meanscommon and
thus, if a person
effects
communication, he
establishes a
common ground
of understanding.
Literally,
communication
means to inform, to
tell, to show, or to
spreadinformation.
Thus, it may be
interpreted as an
interchange of
thought or
information to bring
aboutunderstanding
and confidence for
good industrial
relations. It brings
about unity of
purpose,interest, and
efforts in an
organisation.
Definitions:
1.Communication
is the sum of all
things, one person
does when he wants
to
createunderstanding
in the minds of
another, it involves a
systematic and
continuous process
of telling, listening
and understanding.--
-----Allen
Louis2.Communicati
on has been defined
As the transfer of
information from
one person toanother
whether or not it
elicits confidence.---
----Koontz and
ODonell3.Commun
ication is an
exchange of facts,
ideas, opinions or
emotions by two or
more persons.--------
George
Terry4.Communicati
on is defined as the
process of passing
information and
understanding
fromone person to
another, it is
essentially a bridge
of meaning between
people. By using
the bridge of meaning
a person can safely
cross the river of
misunderstanding.---
------Keith DavisThe
analysis of the above
definitions implies
that the
communication
process should have
thefollowing
characteristics:).I
A two way traffic
: Since
communication is an
exchange of views,
opinions,
directionsetc., it is a
two-way traffic,
upward and
downward. Messages,
directives, opinions,
etc.,
arecommunicated
downward, from a
higher level to a
lower level in the
hierarchy
of management.
Likewise, grievances,
complaints, opinions
feelings, points of
view etc.,
arecommunicated
upward along the line,
from workers (lower
level) to management
(higher level). George
Terry has rightly
remarked, Simply
talking or writing
without regard to
therecipients
response, is conducive
to misunderstanding.
Thus, communication
should be both ways.
