Explanation of Solution
Version Identification Scheme:
- In a large software system, there are hundreds of software components, each of which exists in several different versions.
- Therefore, there must be an unambiguous way for identifying each component version to ensure that the right components are included in the system.
- A consistent identification system is important because it will simpilify the problem of defining configurations...

- How can interfaces be used to define contracts and ensure consistency in code implementations?arrow_forwardA project is proposed to design an assessment management system to keep track of course assessment submission in a university. Each course has unique ID, name, instructor, at least fifteen students and at least one subject. Each subject has a number, name, description, and at least one course assessment to be done. The subject number is unique for each course. Each assessment has a number that is unique for the given subject and has due submission date and time. In addition, each assessment has at least one given type (e.g. H: Homework, P: Program, E: Essay). Each submitted assessment is given a unique ID, has a submission timestamp (date and time) and belongs to one student only. Once an assessment is submitted, the system sends a message to the student acknowledging the submission and indicating whether the submission is on time or late.
