Abstraction Data & Information Systems

Algorithms and Programming Digital Systems

Implications and Impacts

AbstractionThe process of reducing complexity to formulate generalised

fundamental ideas or concepts removed from the specific details or situation. For example, the idea that a cricket ball is a sphere in the same way that a soccer ball is, or the concept that data can be organised in records made up of fields irrespective

of whether the data are numbers, text, images or something else.

Abstraction Data & Information Systems

Algorithms and Programming Digital Systems

Implications and Impacts

Data collection, representation and

interpretationThe properties of data, how they are collected and represented, and how they are interpreted in context to produce information.

Implications and Impacts

Specification, algorithms and implementation

Specification describes the process of defining and communicating a problem precisely and clearly.

Specification, algorithms and implementation

Algorithms describing of the steps and decisions needed to solve a problem.

Specification, algorithms and implementation

Implementation of the algorithm using software or writing a computer program.
