Modes of Data
Processing:
Modes
of processing data involve the following:
Interactive Computing
or Interactive Processing: refers to software which accepts input from humans — for
example, data or commands. Interactive software includes most popular programs, such as word
processors or spread sheet applications. By comparison, non- interactive
programs operate without human contact; examples of these include compilers and
batch processing applications.
Transaction
Processing: is information processing that is
divided into individual, indivisible operations, called transactions. Each
transaction must succeed or fail as a complete unit; it cannot remain in an
intermediate state.
Batch Processing: is execution of a series of programs (“jobs”) on a computer without human interaction. This
is one of the widely used types of data processing which is also known as
serial/sequential, tacked/queued of offline processing. The fundamental of this
type of processing is that different jobs of different users are processed in
the order received. Once the stacking of jobs is complete they are
provided/sent for processing while maintaining the same order. This processing
of a large volume of data helps in reducing the processing cost thus making it
data processing economical.
Examples Include: Examination,
payroll and billing system.
