List and briefly discuss six approaches to systems development

Prototyping, Computer-Aided Software Engineering tools, joint application design, rapid application development, Participatory Design, and Agile Methodologies are the six approaches mentioned in the textbook. Prototyping is an iterative process of systems development by which requirements are converted to a working system. The prototype is continually revised through close work between an analyst and users. The analyst builds the prototype from requirements supplied by the end users. Once the prototype is completed, it is evaluated by the end users. Based on the feedback provided by the end users, the analyst will modify the prototype. This results in an iterative process that continues until users are satisfied. Computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools provide automated support for some part of the systems development process. Joint application design (JAD) is a structured process in which users, managers, and analysts work together for several days in a series of intensive meetings to specify or review system requirements. By promoting group participation, time and organizational resources are better managed. Also, the group is more likely to develop a shared understanding of the IS purpose. Rapid application development (RAD) is a systems development methodology created to radically decrease the time needed to design and implement information systems. Participatory Design is a systems development approach that originated in northern Europe, in which users and the improvement in their work lives are the central focus. Agile Methodologies focus on adaptive methodologies, people instead of roles, and an overall self-adaptive development process.

Compare and contrast expert systems and neural networks

The architecture of the expert system and neural networks can be described using the basic systems model. Inputs to the system are questions and answers from the user. Processing is the matching of user questions and answers to information in the knowledge base. The processing in an expert system is called inferencing, which consists of matching facts and rules, determining the sequence of questions presented to the user, and drawing a conclusion. The output from an ES is a recommendation.

An expert system (ES) is a type of intelligent system that uses reasoning methods based on knowledge about a specific problem domain in order to provide advice, much like a human expert. ESs are used to mimic human expertise by manipulating knowledge-understanding acquired through experience and extensive learning-rather than simply manipulating information. Human knowledge can be represented in an ES by facts and rules about a problem coded in a form that can be manipulated by a computer. When you use an ES, the system asks you a series of questions, much as a human expert would. It continues to ask questions, and each new question is determined by your response to the preceding question. The ES matches the responses with the defined facts and rules until the responses point the system to a solution. A rule is a way of encoding knowledge, such as a recommendation, after collecting information from a user. Rules are typically expressed using an "if-then" format.

Neural networks, composed of a network of processing elements that work in parallel to complete a task, attempt to approximate the functioning of the human brain and can learn by example. Typically, a neural network is trained by having it categorize a large database of past information for common patterns. Once these patterns are established, new data can be compared to these learned patterns and conclusions drawn.
