Any information system will make use of the following physical components:
a) Hardware: The equipment and devices for inputting, outputting, secondary storage, processing as well as communications in the system.
b) Software: The set of programmes to facilitate processing procedures; it includes systems software, applications software and the model base.
c) Data Base: The organisational data to be used by various software programmes is usually stored in the form of files and database on the physical storage media such as computer tapes, disc drives, floppy diskettes.
d) Procedures: The operating procedures documented in the form of physical manuals constitute an important part of MIS components. These documents could be divided into three major types: Operating Manuals, User Manuals, and Systems Manuals.
e) Operating Personnel: The manpower operating these information systems include systems managers, systems analysts, data administrators, programmes, data entry and computer operators.
Processing Functions
The major processing functions in information systems include the following:
a) Processing of business transactions: To capture, collect, record, store and process the events of business interest, so that their effect should be carried over to the organisational performance records.
b) Updation of master files: The effect of these transactions is carried over to the status files of the organisational performance. Master files at any given time shall reflect the status of any entity after having incorporated the impact of up-to-moment transactions.
c) Generation of information reports: After having processed the transactions and updation of master files, the information reports are generated so as to assist the managers in their decision-making.
d) Processing of interactive enquiries: On-line information processing systems provide the facility of responding to the business queries raised by managers on the data files - both master as well as transaction files.

The physical view of MIS is the assembly of many subsystems based on the organization's databases. While on the other hand, conceptual view is an overall view of all the organization's databases.
the schema can be termed either conceptual or logical or physical. But mostly speaking, the term schema is used to refer to a logical structure.
The internal schema represents the physical storage structure of data, the external schema represents how different users view the data, and the conceptual schema defines the logical structure of the entire database. Logical data independence means that the conceptual schema can change without affecting the external schemas, while physical data independence means that changes in the physical storage structures do not affect the conceptual or external schemas.
A computer is a physical system which works on conceptual basics. so you can say it's both.
physical mathematical conceptual
Conceptual designs attempts to identify the highest level of relationships between entities. Conceptual designs include only important entities. Physical design helps in converting the logical design into the physical form.
conceptual model :A conceptual model uses idea to suggest what system is or how it works.A physical model : A physical model might be a scale model , either larger or smaller than the actual system it represents.
VSEPR is a conceptual model, as it has not been directly observed.
Theoretical aspect: Relational database follows the relational model, which organizes data into tables with rows and columns based on primary and foreign keys. Conceptual aspect: It involves designing the database structure, including defining entities, attributes, and relationships between them. Physical aspect: This refers to the actual implementation of the database design on a physical storage medium, such as hard disks, memory, and indexing structures.
Conceptual Framework is a structure of objective and ideas. With conceptual framework, it is easy to determine how profit should be measured and number of standards, principles and emphasis are reduced.
im not sure
what i s the conceptual definition of IV "mother's education"? what is the conceptual definition of DV "effect on child"?
