Mountain Rescue Teams
Climbing mountains is a popular leisure activity in Great Britain that is enjoyed by a very large number of people every year. However, this hobby can be dangerous, especially when participants have not prepared adequately. Every year some people have to be rescued while in the mountains in Great Britain.
These rescues are conducted by teams of volunteers affiliated to the Mountaineering Trust. The teams search on foot. They navigate using maps prepared by Ordnance Survey, the official map-making body of the British government. Ordnance Survey maps have grids that allow anywhere in Great Britain to be located to the nearest 100 meters using a grid reference.
If necessary, the teams request assistance from the Royal Air Force (RAF), which provides search and rescue helicopters from its bases across Great Britain.
The DatabaseThe location, name, and height of every mountain is stored. The location is taken to be the grid reference of the summit and serves as a…
Video-Rental LTD case study
Video-Rental LTD is a small video rental store. The store lends videos to customers for a fee and purchases its videos from a local supplier.
A customer wishing to borrow a video provides the empty box of the video they desire, their membership card, and payment – payment is always with the credit card used to open the customer account. The customer then returns the video to the store after watching it.
If a loaned video is overdue by a day the customer's credit card is charged, and a reminder letter is sent to them. Each day after that a further card is made, and each week a reminder letter is sent. This continues until either the customer returns the video, or the charges are equal to the cost of replacing the video.
New customers fill out a form with their personal details and credit card details, and the counter staff gives the new customer a membership card. Each new customer form is added to the customer file.

Many of you register for courses online. The computer knows all the courses that are
available each semester, and also knows which ones you are taking. It makes sure that
you can't register for too many courses, that you can't take the same course twice, that
you have taken the prerequisites, and that a course is not oversubscribed.
A registration system has many users. You've probably only seen the system from the
point of view of a student. You want to know what courses you signed up for, and maybe
how many more hours you need to take to have a full load. But you don't need to know 3
who is signed up for a particular course. This is only needed by teachers. Teachers will
want a course listing and will need to assign grades to each student in a course. But
teachers don't decide which courses are going to be offered each semester. This is done by
some administrator. So, there are at least three views of a student registration system; the
student's view, the teacher's view, and the…
