Information Systems

EXERCISE 1

Read and translate the text using words and word combinations after the text.

An information system is an integrated set of components for collecting, storing, and processing data and for delivering information, knowledge, and digital products. Business firms and other organizations rely on information systems to carry out and manage their operations, interact with their customers and suppliers, and compete in the marketplace. For instance, corporations use information systems to reach their potential customers with targeted messages over the Web, to process financial accounts, and to manage their human resources. Governments deploy information systems to provide services cost-effectively to citizens, for example,digital goods, such as electronic books and software, and online services, such as auctions and social networking. 

Modern information and control systems createa large field of engineering cybernetics studying general regularity of information conversion processes and expedient management in technical systems.

Information measurement and control machines make an overwhelming and the most important part of these systems which allowempirical quantifying certain information about the various objects of the material world. Such systems solve a wide range of tasks associated mainly with sorting, gathering, processing, transmission, storage, retrieval, and delivery of information to a person.

Historically, in the field of information and measurement control systems there have been determined following sections: event detection, image identification, measurement of physical parameters, the process of counting, testing and technical diagnostics.

In the field of information-measuring and control systems basicmeasuring processes are realized experimentally with the use of technical means. This approach provides a quantitative evaluation of the conditions of a tangible object in a particular industry.
