4. Network Analysis Global Manufacturing is considering a new technology application. The company wants to process orders in a central location and then assign production to different plants. Each plant will oper- ate its own production scheduling and control system. Data on work in process and completed assemblies will be transmitted back to the central location that processes orders. At each plant, Global uses personal computers that perform routine tasks such as payroll and accounting. The production scheduling and control systems will be a package program running on a new computer dedicated to this application.

Numerous software components are used by distributed systems and are distributed across nodes. What does it mean, then?
Computer Science Scenario: You are a Systems Auditor for Windhoek University, an institution that offers higher education to those who wish to further their studies after high school. The institution consists of a number of faculties such as Accounting, Hospitality and Agriculture to mention a few. Just like any compliant institution, Windhoek University is required to have annual IT audits of their infrastructure and operations. You are required to audit the IT infrastructure of the computer labs for the Faculty of Information Technology at the university. In preparation for this, you have been tasked to conduct an Audit Planning Process. In the process, you realise that the labs are freely accessible to anyone and the computers require no log in credentials to use them. Meanwhile, you discover that the university’s web server has been defaced and the students’ account are active and have administration rights on the systems. There has been a major configuration change to the web…
Q 1 A- design the physical DFD level 1 for the following system. B- convert the above diagram to level 0 (context diagram). "In a video rental store the secretary receives a request from the customer to rent a movie then she saves the rent information in the rental file and gives the customer the bill. When the customer returns the video the secretary puts it in the video library file and signs the bill before returning it to the customer and finally return the rental information to the rental file. The manager wants a final report of all videos that have been rented so the secretary generates that report from the information in the rental file".
Create a process model for the following simple scenario using BPMN. In an online shopping application, the following steps will be followed whenever a customer places a new order. The shop receives an order from a customer to buy a product. The availability of the product will be checked. If the product is available, the order will be shipped to the customer. If the product is not available, a request for the order will be sent to the supplier, then it will be shipped to the customer.
Which architectural pattern is optimal for systems in which one component generates data and another consumes it?
Imagine you are a logistics manager for a major shipping company responsible for optimizing the delivery process. Your company operates in two different regions, each with its fleet of delivery trucks. The number of packages in each region can vary significantly, represented by two sorted lists: one for each region (nums1 and nums2). Your goal is to calculate the median delivery time it takes for packages to reach their destinations, considering both regions. This median time is crucial to ensure timely deliveries and customer satisfaction. The overall run time complexity should be O(log(m+n)), as you need an efficient method to calculate this median for effective logistics planning. In this logistics scenario, nums1 and nums2 represent the sorted lists of delivery times for each region. Just like in the original problem, you are tasked with finding the median efficiently, which is analogous to determining the median delivery time. Achieving this with O(log(m+n)) time complexity is…
Consider the following case study: A renowned restaurant chain wants to automate their business. The branches of restaurant are spread over different parts of the country. Currently each branch was being managed by a desktop based POS system, and the sales records were presented to the CEO at the end of month in a meeting. Now the CEO of the company requires a system which can provide him daily sales reports of all branches through a centralized system. The each branch manager needs help to manage employees work shifts, inventory and stock maintenance, order placement and sales record etc. The system will be installed on each branch and will be operated by the sales team. In order to keep their business running, the owners want to implement the system gradually. The software development company has agreed to provide the solution as per terms. Software development team consists of 6 members and time to completion is 6 to 8 months. Which Process lifecycle model would you suggest and why?
