Explanation: Communication handler '' Process for transmitting and receiving electronic documents between trading partners via dial-up lines, public switched networks, multiple dedicated lines or a value added network (VAN).For your exam you should know below information about Traditional EDI functions.Moving data in a batch transmission process through the traditional EDI process generally involves three functions within each trading partner's computer systemCommunication handler '' Process for transmitting and receiving electronic documents between trading partners via dial-up lines, public switched networks, multiple dedicated lines or a value added network (VAN). VAN use computerized message switching and storage capabilities to provide electronic mailbox services similar to post offices. The VAN receives all the outbound transactions from an organization, sort them by destination and passes them to precipitants when they log on to check their mailbox and receive transmission.EDI Interface -Interface function that manipulates and routes data between the application system and the communication handler. The interface consists of two componentsEDI Translator '' The device translates data between standard format (ANSI X12) and trading partner's propriety information.Application Interface '' This interface moves electronic transactions to or from the application systems and perform data mapping. Data mapping is the process by which data are extracted from EDI translation process and integrated with the data or process of receiving company.3. Application System -The program that process the data sent to, or received from, the trading partner. Although new controls should be developed for the EDI interface, the control for existing applications, if left unchanged, are usually unaffected.The following were incorrect answers:EDI Interface -Interface function that manipulates and routes data between the application system and the communication handler.Application System -The program that process the data sent to, or received from, the trading partner.

Explanation: Data Interface enables the expert system to collect data from nonhuman sources, such as measurement instruments in a power plant.For CISA Exam you should know below information about Artificial Intelligence and Expert SystemArtificial intelligence is the study and application of the principles by which:Knowledge is acquired and used -Goals are generated and achievedInformation is communicated -Collaboration is achieved -Concepts are formed -Languages are developed -Two main programming languages that have been developed for artificial intelligence are LISP and PROLOG.Expert system are compromised primary components, called shells, when they are not populated with particular data, and the shells are designed to host new expert system.Keys to the system is the knowledge base (KB), which contains specific information or fact patterns associated with a particular subject matter and the rule for interpreting these facts. The KB interface with a database in obtaining data to analyze a particular problem in deriving an expert conclusion. The information in theKB can be expressed in several ways:Decision Tree '' Using questionnaires to lead the user through a series of choices, until a conclusion is reached. Flexibility is compromised because the user must answer the questions in an exact sequence.Rule '' Expressing declarative knowledge through the use of if-then relationships. For example, if a patient's body temperature is over 39 degrees Celsius and their pulse is under 60, then they might be suffering from a certain disease.Semantic nets '' Consist of a graph in which the node represent physical or conceptual object and the arcs describe the relationship between the nodes. Semantic nets resemble a data flow diagram and make use of an inheritance mechanism to prevent duplication of a data.Additionally, the inference engine shown is a program that uses the KB and determines the most appropriate outcome based on the information supplied by the user. In addition, an expert system includes the following componentsKnowledge interface '' Allows the expert to enter knowledge into the system without the traditional mediation of a software engineer.Data Interface '' Enables the expert system to collect data from nonhuman sources, such as measurement instruments in a power plant.The following were incorrect answers:Decision Tree '' Using questionnaires to lead the user through a series of choices, until a conclusion is reached.
