Common threads throughout computer science are patterns and processes. The ISOP Model is a great example of a daily process that we encounter when we utilize our computers. What exactly is the ISOP Model? It is the process by which our computers receive input and provide an output. Let’s break down every element of the ISOP Model.

  • I: Input
  • S: Storage
  • O: Output
  • P: Processing

We input data. That data is stored by the computer. Then, the computer processes that stored data, and places the processed data back into storage. Finally, the computer sends the data back to us: in other words, it provides the data as an output. Almost everything you do with a computer happens based on these four foundational elements.
