The role of memory of intelligent information systems

The concept of an intelligent organizational information system is presented. It is noted that although computer-based organizational information systems possess many of the attributes required for intelligent behavior, they rarely take an active role in supporting the decision-making activities of the organization. The role of memory processes in determining intelligent courses of action is reviewed, and categories of organizational information systems are defined. A technique using Boolean memory functions is described that is capable of supporting intelligent behaviour in information systems. Future research directions are discussed.<>
