Program Plan Intro

Process:

  • A process refers to a sequence of actions or steps taken for achieving a particular task.
  • Process control is defined as controlling the process automatically.
  • Some of the applications of process control systems include automobile, assembly, power generation, food processing, and so on.

Explanation of Solution

Comparison on continuous and batch process:

Continuous processBatch process
In continuous process, the production of finished products is performed continuously.In batch process, the production of finished products is performed in certain batches.
Here, raw materials are entered into the system from one end and the finished product comes out from another end of the system on a continuous basis.Here, a set of inputs to the process is received in batch, and then certain operations are performed on the batch to produce a product.
It is mainly used in automotive engine assembly line.It is mainly used in the manufacturing of food, beverages, pharmaceutical products, and fertilizers.

Simulate on a vertical time axis (with events labeled with the senders names A-D) the contention period of FOUR equally distanced Ethernet stations that all attempt to transmit at T=0 a minimally sized frame, in the style of the binary Exponential Backoff Algorithm. Assume that time is measured in slot times, and that exactly one slot time is needed to detect a collision (so that if two stations transmit at T=1 and collide, and one of them chooses a backoff time k=0, then that station will transmit again at T=2). Use as coin flip (source of randomness) an ID written in binary. use the bits in order from the least significant to the most significant. If for a given coin throw you need k bits, use the least significant ID bit extracted in the corresponding group of bits, as the least significant bit of the coin thrown. Start be writing the ID, which is 904012207 As example of the expected answer format,  with the random sequence R:   100101010101001011001010 01 01011  10010 1010 1010 010…
Big State University The Big State University course catalog reads as follows: "To enroll in MIS 260, which is an advanced course, a student must complete two prerequisites: MIS 120 and MIS 222. A student who completes either one of these prerequisites and obtains the instructor's permission, however, will be allowed to take MIS 260." Tasks 1. Create a decision table that describes the Big State University course catalog regarding eligibility for MIS 260. Show all possible rules. 2. Simplify the table you just created. Describe the results. 3. Draw a simplified decision tree to represent the Big State University catalog. Describe the results. 4. Why might you use a decision tree rather than a decision table?
