In the context of a computer network, explain the relationship between dependability and availability. It has become outdated because of the reasons stated above. Is a lengthy deliberation necessary?
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is a significant funder of academic research in the United States. Researchers submit proposals to various programs (for example, the “INFO INTEGRATION & INFORMATICS” (III) program in the the “Computer Science Engineering” (CSE) directorate is primarily responsible for funding research on database systems.) Panels of peer reviewers (other academics in related fields) decide which proposals will be funded, and there are some managers in NSF that are managing the funds. Once the grants are awarded, the university (Organization) administers them on behalf of the researchers. These grants typically range from $50,000 to millions of dollars, and they are used by researchers to pay graduate students, postdocs, and staff, acquire equipment and supplies, and cover expenses like travel. It is important that each grant have a PI that known as the owner of the grant and he/she is a researcher in that organization. Given the vast number of grants awarded…
Please provide a short clear & brief response for the following...... Describe the difference between access control lists (ACL) and capabilities based systems.
Does caching change between logical and physical levels, and if so, how?
Discuss the security implications of object serialization in software development. What are some common security vulnerabilities associated with serialization, and how can they be mitigated?
The readers and writers problem can be formulated in several ways with regard to which category of processes can be started when. Carefully describe three different variations of the problem, each one favouring (or not favouring) some category of processes. For each variation, specify what happens when a reader or a writer becomes ready to access the database, and what happens when a process is finished.
It is proposed that when a new student who suffers from epilepsy starts a degree programme in the School of French at the University of Southern England, all the students and staff in the School are informed of that student and given advice on what they should do to help if they witness that student having an epileptic fit. (Epilepsy is a health issue characterised by fits or seizures, such as vigorous shaking.) Comment on this proposal within the considerations of the Data Protection Act. How would you change the proposal in the light of the Act?
Can you explain the distinction, if any, between logical and physical caching?
Suppose you had an information/briefing session with college’s Chief Information Officer (CIO) on some of the key use cases of the Campus Access Control System (CACS). The CIO described the process that the student lab-access sub-system goes through to authorise student’s access to the laboratories. Essentially, the lab access sub-system interacts with CACS and retrieves a list of students that are authorised to access a particular lab. If the student who is currently swiping her access card is in this list, then the lab access sub-system will grant access, otherwise access is denied.Use Visual Studio modelling tools to create a Use Case Diagram and a Sequence Diagram for the above process as described.
Infer the choice of data structure in case you are running a clinic which looks after patients of all sorts. Is it a good strategy to serve patients on first come first serve basis? Justify your answer with logical reasoning. i. ii. Imagine you have a web-site which serves files to hundred thousand users. You cannot service all requests; you can only handle say thousand at once. A fair policy would be first-come-first serve: i.e. serve 1000 at a time in order of arrival. This implies you will have to store incoming requests. Infer the choice of the most appropriate ADT.
When it comes to caching, is there a distinction between logical caching and physical caching, and if so, what exactly is that difference?
In unit eight, we are introduced to advanced database topics. In typical client–server systems the server machine is much more powerful than the clients; that is, its processor is faster, it may have multiple processors, and it has more memory and disk capacity. Consider instead a scenario where client and server machines have exactly the same power. Would it make sense to build a client–server system in such a scenario? Why? Which scenario would be better suited to a data-server architecture? Database systems are in use everywhere in our society. Explain the advantages of cloud computing over the traditional IT model (Table 10.1) and reference 2 additional websites.
