Front

What are input devices in a data processing system on a ship?

Back

Sensors and other devices that collect data from the ship's systems, such as engine performance, navigation, and environmental conditions.

Front

What are processing units in a data processing system?

Back

Computers and processors that analyze the input data to extract meaningful information.

Front

What are output devices in a data processing system?

Back

Displays, alarms, and other interfaces that present the processed data to the crew for decision-making.

Front

What is the purpose of storage in data processing systems?

Back

To store data for future analysis and reporting.

Front

What is the first stage of data processing?

Back

Data Collection: Gathering raw data from various systems onboard the ship.

Front

What happens during the data processing stage?

Back

Converting the raw data into a usable format using software algorithms and processing units.

Front

What is data storage in the context of data processing?

Back

Keeping processed data in databases or logs for future retrieval and analysis.

Front

What is the purpose of data analysis in data processing?

Back

To identify trends, detect anomalies, and support decision-making.
