1.Differentiate Conventional Systems and Expert System.

2.What is Batch Processing, Online and Real-Time Processing?
3.Why would we not make every processing system real-time system? What would be the
impact if we did?

Answer

1. Conventional system is the information and processing combined in a single

sequential program, the program never make the mistake, needs all the input data,
changes to the program inconvenient, the system works if its complete, efficiency is
the main objective, quantitative data, representation of data in numerical.
Expert system is the knowledge base separate from the mechanism processing, the
program could have made the mistake, not necessarily need all inputs data or facts,
changes in the rules can be made with ease, the system can work only with the rules
a little, effectiveness of the main objective, qualitative data, representation symbol.
2. Batch processing is a system that processes batches of data at set time intervals.
Online processing is a type of processing system that deals with data in transactions
Real-Time processing system processes data as soon as it has been input. They are
normally used when the immediacy of the data is vital
3. Real-Time processing is very complex as well as expensive processing.
As these systems take control over the program execution, it brings an entirely new level
of abstraction. It means that the distinction between the control-flow of your program and
the source code is no longer apparent because the real-time system chooses which task to
execute at that moment.

SEATWORK #2
1. knowledge base is a database that allows the storage and retrieval of the
knowledge provided by a collection of experts
inference engine is the part of the expert system that makes judgements and
reasoning using the knowledge base and user responses. It is designed to produce
reasoning based on a set of rules.
user interface is the way the user interacts with the expert system. They are
often graphical in nature and have a range of selection processes or typing
methods to allow the user to provide responses.
2. Replace the human work, they try to replicate the judgement on human that has
expert knowledge in a certain field.
They can be used to solve complex problems by reasoning, using the knowledge
base they are given
3. Advantages
  Diagnosing, it will ask us about our health problem and provide us with a
diagnosis or course of action.
 Predicting results, because it has the intelligence similar to what human does
because it is able to understand thousands dimensional data and determine the
patterns once it learns these patterns then make prediction that human  can’t
even come close.

Disadvantage

 Substituting human decision makers, people become not too belive

with human works.

4. Online system may be real time sometimes but there are online systems that are not
real time, while Real time systems are those where the user gets immediate response
to his reaction and there is no time delay
5. A master file is the main file that contains relatively permanent records about
particular items or entries. For example a customer file will contain details of a
customer such as customer ID, name and contact address.
