Information System Resources:

  • The information system resources are shown below:
    • People Resources:
      • People are vital for information system operations.
      • It includes end users as well as IS specialists.
      • The end users use an information system or data it produces.
      • The IS specialists develop as well as operate information systems.
      • It includes system analysts, computer operators as well as clerical IS personnel.
    • Hardware Resources:
      • It comprises physical devices as well as materials used for information processing.
      • It includes machines, such as computers and other equipment plus data media.
      • The computer systems contain central processing unit that has microprocessors and different interconnected devices.
      • The computer peripherals are devices such as keyboard, mouse and disks for storage.
    • Software Resources:
      • It includes all set of instructions for information processing.
      • It contains set of operating instructions named programs that directs and controls computer hardware.
      • Each system contains a software resource component.
      • It denotes instructions for information processing.
    • Data Resources:
      • The data required for operations is considered as data resources.
      • It must be used effectively for benefitting all end users.
      • It includes image data, audio data, human voice and other forms.

I need help in construct a matlab code to find the voltage, the currents, and the watts based on that circuit.
Objective Implement Bottom-Up Iterative MergeSort and analyze its efficiency compared to recursive MergeSort. Unlike the recursive approach, which involves multiple function calls and stack overhead, the bottom-up version sorts iteratively by merging small subarrays first, reducing recursion depth and improving performance. Task 1. Implement Bottom-Up Iterative MergeSort о Start with single-element subarrays and iteratively merge them into larger sorted sections. Use a loop-based merging process instead of recursion. ○ Implement an efficient in-place merging strategy if possible. 2. Performance Analysis Compare execution time with recursive MergeSort on random, nearly sorted, and reversed datasets. ○ Measure and plot time complexity vs. input size. O Submission Explain why the iterative version reduces function call overhead and when it performs better. • Code implementation with comments. • A short report (1-2 pages) comparing performance. • Graph of execution time vs. input size for…
Given a shared data set, we allow multiple readers to read at the same time, and only one single writer can access the shared data at the same time. In the lecture slides, a solution is given. However, the problem is that the write cannot write forever, if there are always at least one reader. How to ensure that the writer can eventually write? Propose your solution by using semaphores and implemented in Python from threading import Thread, Semaphore from time import sleep from sys import stdout class Reader(Thread): def__init__(self, name): self.n=name; Thread.__init__(self) defrun(self): globalnr, nw, dr, dw whileTrue: # ⟨await nw == 0 then nr += 1⟩ e.acquire() ifnw>0: #if nw > 0 or dw > 0 : dr+=1; e.release(); r.acquire() nr+=1 ifdr>0: dr-=1; r.release() else: e.release() # read data stdout.write(self.n+' reading\n') sleep(1) # ⟨nr -= 1⟩ e.acquire() nr-=1 ifnr==0anddw>0: dw-=1 ; w.release() else: e.release() class Writer(Thread): def__init__(self, name):…
