Techniques for rearranging nodes in the List:

  • While ordering the records in the self-organizing list, normally the access probabilities of the records aren’t well known before.
  • This issue led the researchers to develop several heuristics to estimate optimal behaviour.
  • Some basic approaches used for reordering the records in the self-organizing list are given below.
    • Move–to–front method (MFT)
    • Transpose method.
    • Count method.
    • Ordering method.

Move–to–front method (MFT):

  • After the required record is sited, keep that at the head of the list.

Transpose method:

  • After the required record is sited, interchange that with its precursor.

Count method:

  • Ordering the self-organizing list by number of times the records are being processed.

Ordering method:

  • Ordering the self-organizing list by using definite criteria for information under analysis.

Explanation of Solution

(b) Cases in which the methods need an exhaustive search of the lists for every search:

  • A list “L” is searched exhaustively by the move to front method while searching for its last record. This needs the data to be composed in the same sequences of records as in the list “L”, however in the reverse order. For instance, if the list

    L = (p x r y) then the data sequence has to be (y r x p y r x p y r x p y…)...

Assume that a string of name & surname is saved in S. The alphabetical characters in S can be in lowercase and/or uppercase letters. Name and surname are assumed to be separated by a space character and the string ends with a full stop "." character. Write an assembly language program that will copy the name to NAME in lowercase and the surname to SNAME in uppercase letters. Assume that name and/or surname cannot exceed 20 characters. The program should be general and work with every possible string with name & surname. However, you can consider the data segment definition given below in your program. .DATA S DB 'Mahmoud Obaid." NAME DB 20 DUP(?) SNAME DB 20 DUP(?) Hint: Uppercase characters are ordered between 'A' (41H) and 'Z' (5AH) and lowercase characters are ordered between 'a' (61H) and 'z' (7AH) in the in the ASCII Code table. For lowercase letters, bit 5 (d5) of the ASCII code is 1 where for uppercase letters it is 0. For example, Letter 'h' Binary ASCII 01101000 68H 'H'…
