You work for a small research organisation with a number of branches throughout the country. At the moment each of these branches uses a different main database system. It has been decided by Head Office that the database system used by your branch should be expanded and then used by all the other branches, replacing their existing database systems. They would need to transfer all their data to this expanded database on a main server, which would be located in your organisation’s offices. A network would be set up linking all the branches to this main server. List and explain FOUR different types of stakeholders in this new project. Identify their main concerns and their stake in the project.

How does the coverage of a wide-area network compare to that of a local area network in terms of the performance of a distributed database? What are the fundamental distinctions between the two types of networks?
The local DMV processes applications for driver’s license renewals with the following three steps. First, the customer registers with the receptionist, who updates the customer’s information in the database. This first step takes 2 minutes per customer. Then, the customer visits one of two cashiers to pay the associated fees for the license renewal. This takes 8 minutes per customer. Finally, the customer visits one of three license processing stations where the customer’s picture is taken and the license is printed. This final step takes 15 minutes per customer. Assume demand is 20 customers per hour. When the DMV opens in the morning, about how long will it take to process the first 50 customers?

A company sells toys by mail order. The company already has a product database, with a simple web interface, so that customers can get information about toys and prices. Currently, customers place orders by mail or by telephone. The company decides to create a system for selling toys online. The system will have three components: a product database, a customer database, and an ordering system. The plan is to develop the system in two phases: Phase 1 The product database will remain unchanged but the web interface will be replaced by the ordering system. A fully featured version of the ordering system will be developed. Every effort will be made to create an ordering system that will need little or no modifications in Phase 2. A simple version of the customer database will be developed. Page 3 of 4 Phase 2 A new product database will be created. Major enhancements will be made to the customer database. Minor changes may be made to the ordering…
