The model curriculum for information-system education suggested by the _____ has a more theoretical and conceptual basis, whereas the model by the _____ is more practical and applied in nature. A. AI, ES B. KBS, AI C. ACM, DPMA D. SISD, MMD E. None of the above

AI, ES
KBS, AI
ACM, DPMA
SISD, MMD E. None of the above

The correct answer is C. ACM, DPMA.

The Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the Data Processing Management Association (DPMA) are two professional organizations that have developed model curricula for information-system education. The ACM model curriculum has a more theoretical and conceptual basis, whereas the DPMA model is more practical and applied in nature.

The ACM model curriculum is based on the belief that information systems professionals need to have a strong foundation in computer science and information technology. The curriculum includes courses in computer science, information systems, and management. The DPMA model curriculum is based on the belief that information systems professionals need to have a strong foundation in business and management. The curriculum includes courses in business, management, and information systems.

Both the ACM and DPMA model curricula are designed to prepare students for careers in information systems. However, the ACM model curriculum is more theoretical and conceptual, whereas the DPMA model is more practical and applied.

AI stands for artificial intelligence. ES stands for expert systems. KBS stands for knowledge-based systems. SISD stands for systems analysis and design. MMD stands for management information systems. None of these options are correct.
