DEMIS, An Information System to Support Educational Management and Counselling Activities.

Abstract

This report traces, briefly, the history of computerized Management Information Systems, then proposes an approach for the development of a small MIS. This approach was evaluated through the development of the Department of Mathematical Sciences Information System (DEMIS) and its first operational Module, the Student Information System (SIS). The report is divided into five chapters. Chapter 1 traces the history of MIS and outlines the approach proposed for small system development. Chapter 2 discusses general information pertaining to SIS. Chapter 3 sets forth a complete yet simple set of operator instructions. Chapter 4 provides philosophy, approaches and requirements for system maintenance and modification, and Chapter 5 looks at the future of DEMIS and provides some concluding remarks.
