Introduction:
We are living and breathing in an information age. For many segments of society, the Internet has
already changed how people work, think, communicate, or even socialize. Many of the changes can
be attributed to information systems that now operate very widely over the Internet and Intranets.
With the widespread commercial availability of computing technologies and machinery,
information systems have been the dominant application area of computing. All present day
organizations have come to rely on information systems for their day-to-day operation, planning,
and decision making. The basic idea is to prepare dynamic leaders and practitioners in computing,
teaching and, research having content excellence, pedagogical competence, commitment and
