Information Systems
信息系统，有时和信息管理合并为一个专业，就是通过学习计算机技术和管理学，竞争情报等学科知识，通过计算机技术对海量的数据进行收集和信息处理，使之成为有用的信息，然后通过科学的统计学原理对信息的过滤和分析进而形成知识，最终目的就是运用所获取的知识来做出正确的决策。从信息系统的发展和系统特点来看，可分为数据处理系统（Data Processing System，简称DPS）、管理信息系统（Management Information System，简称MIS）、决策支持系统（Decision Sustainment System， 简称DSS）、专家系统（人工智能的一个子集）和虚拟办公室（Office Automation，简称OA）五种类型。
