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.
