Explanation of Solution

Project:

  • A project is actually a temporary endeavor for creating a unique product, service or result.
  • A project is a temporary social system which is constituted by teams to accomplish specific tasks under specified time.
  • Project is a set of interrelated tasks which is to be executed over a fixed period of time and within certain cost and within other limitations.
  • A project or a program can be treated as an undertaking that involves research or design and is planned for achieving a particular goal.

Main attributes of a project:

The main attributes of a software project include the following.

  • A project needs a well-defined objective
    • The main objective of project can be defined in terms of scope, schedule and cost...

Explanation of Solution

Difference of project from day to day jobs:

ProjectDay to day job
The project activities will be completed only when the project is stopped.Day to day work will continue on an ongoing basis and is required even after the project finishes...

Explanation of Solution

Triple constraint:

  • In terms of scope, time and cost goals, every project is constrained in different ways. In project management, these limitations are termed as triple constraint.
  • Triple constraint is also termed as project management triangle or iron triangle...

Explanation of Solution

Factors affecting a project:

  • Deadline:
    • Deadline is one of the factors that determine how a project will be handled.
    • Missing a deadline will create a bad impression on the team.
  • Budget:
    • Budget is another factor that determines project’s progress and management.
    • The number of days for completing the project and the number of resources will be more if there is high budget.
  • Stakeholders:
    • Depending on the kind of stakeholders for the project, techniques for managing a project will vary...

6.3A-3. Multiple Access protocols (3). Consider the figure below, which shows the arrival of 6 messages for transmission at different multiple access wireless nodes at times t=0.1, 1.4, 1.8, 3.2, 3.3, 4.1. Each transmission requires exactly one time unit. 1 t=0.0 2 3 45 t=1.0 t-2.0 t-3.0 6 t=4.0 t-5.0 For the CSMA protocol (without collision detection), indicate which packets are successfully transmitted. You should assume that it takes .2 time units for a signal to propagate from one node to each of the other nodes. You can assume that if a packet experiences a collision or senses the channel busy, then that node will not attempt a retransmission of that packet until sometime after t=5. Hint: consider propagation times carefully here. (Note: You can find more examples of problems similar to this here B.] ☐ U ப 5 - 3 1 4 6 2
Just wanted to know, if you had a scene graph, how do you get multiple components from a specific scene node within a scene graph? Like if I wanted to get a component from wheel from the scene graph, does that require traversing still?   Like if a physics component requires a transform component and these two component are part of the same scene node. How does the physics component knows how to get the scene object's transform it is attached to, this being in a scene graph?
