a. Determine the requirement for deadlock that is removed by the solution to the problem “Both students are allowed in the course”:
Explanation of Solution
Resource allocation means when the two or more processes cannot progress because of the resources unavailability. The next process suffers from resources unavailability because it is waiting for the resource that is still in use by the previous process.
In the given situation both the students are allowed in the course...
b. Determine the requirement for deadlock that is removed by the solution to the problem “The class size is reduced to nineteen, so neither of the two students is allowed to register for the course”:
Explanation of Solution
Resource allocation means when the two or more processes cannot progress because of the resources unavailability. The next process suffers from resources unavailability because it is waiting for the resource that is still in use by the previous process.
In the given situation the size of the class is reduced...
c. Determine the requirement for deadlock that is removed by the solution to the problem “The competing students are both denied entry to the class and a third student is given the twentieth space”:
Explanation of Solution
Resource allocation means when the two or more processes cannot progress because of the resources unavailability. The next process suffers from resources unavailability because it is waiting for the resource that is still in use by the previous process...
d. Determine the requirement for deadlock that is removed by the solution to the problem “It is decided that the only requirement for entry into the course is the payment of the fee. Thus the student who has paid the fee gets into the course, and entry is denied to the other student”:
Explanation of Solution
Resource allocation means when the two or more processes cannot progress because of the resources unavailability. The next process suffers from resources unavailability because it is waiting for the resource that is still in use by the previous process.
In the given situation the student who paid the fees is preferred for the enrolment, thus the second condition is raised here...

Suppose you are organizing a conference where researchers present articles they have written. Researchers who want to present an article send a paper to the conference organizers. The conference organizers have access to a committee of reviewers who are each willing to read up articles each.
Each paper submission gets reviewed by up to reviewers. Moreover, each submission has a particular topic and each reviewer has a specialization for a set of topics, so papers on a given topic only get reviewed by those reviewers who are experts on that topic.
The conference organizers need to decide which reviewers will review each article (or equivalently, which articles will be reviewed by which reviewers). Explain how they could use a flow network to solve this problem.
A robot is a programmable machine that can carry out a series of automated tasks. The final lab for the semester is to build a robot of your own design. Your robot should contain at least two sensors, and two output mechanisms that work together to perform a task. Sensors can be something like a temperature or light sensor. Output mechanisms can be things like servo motors or lights. In order to make sure that the task your robot performs is sufficiently complex to meet the objectives of the course you will need to write a proposal that answers the questions below.1. Describe the purpose or goal of your robot. Answer the question, “Why does this robot exist?” What problem does it solve? What are some of the challenges to solving that problem?2. Describe how your robot will solve the problem. What sensors will it use? How will it behave based on the inputs and how will it overcome the challenges presented?3. How will you know if your robot successfully meets its goals? What tests will…
The Nobel peace prize is awarded to persons who excel in various fields of
endeavor. Currently only a handful of panel members determine and choose
people who qualify for a particular award based on nomination from a wide
range of disciplines’. This process of selecting the winners for the various prices
have been criticized as being biased especially from the side of the panel
members. The committee of experts at a general council meeting decided to
automate the selection process. On a trial bases, you have been engaged to
develop a system that will automatically select a nominee as the winner of the
award in two categories (peace and science). Your program should have the
following methodsalities.
a) You are to define a class named NobelAward. Your class must have two

A student can register classes of his/her choosing during the registration period. If the system found there are pre-requisite violations the student will be de- registered from the violating classes. A student who was de-registered up to three times will be warned. A student whose GPA is between 2.0 to 2.3 is also warned. Students who are warned must see the student adviser to remove the warning. A student whose GPA is less than 2.0 or who was warned three times or who has one outstanding warning without seeing the adviser for one semester will be suspended. A student can apply for graduation or transfer to other schools. If the student passed the graduation check by the registrar, she will be put on the list of graduating student. Graduating students whose GPA is higher than 3.5 are put in Dean's list, those higher that 3.9 are put in President's list.

Scenario 1 Alexis, a gifted high school student, wants to become a doctor. Because she comes from a poor family, she will need a scholarship in order to attend college. Some of her classes require students to do extra research projects in order to get an A. Her high school has a few older PCs, but there are always long lines of students waiting to use them during the school day. After school, she usually works at a part-time job to help support her family. One evening Alexis visits the library of a private college a few miles from her family's apartment, and she finds plenty of unused PCs connected to the Internet. She surreptitiously looks over the shoulder of another student to learn a valid login/password combination. Alexis returns to the library several times a week, and by using its PCs and printers she…arrow_forward
- Draw a Use Case Diagram for a voting machine, on which voters can see a list of Q-3: candidates and select one to vote for. The machine should check that each voter is eligible to vote. The electoral registrar will also want to print a summary of the total votes for each candidate, and (separately) a list of the voters who have voted, and a list of those who haven't. In case of a dispute, the machine should also list a complete record of who voted for whom, but only a judge can use this function.arrow_forwardThe Youth Bowling Clubs Association (YBCA) is a loose group of children’s ten-pin bowling clubs that compete with inter-club competitions regularly throughout the year. It is run on an amateur basis, and each week volunteers from each of the clubs present at a competition provide a referee and scorer for the competition. As the clubs are affiliated with bowling alleys, each club takes it in turns to host the competitions, and there is a rule that no club can have a scorer or referee at a competition they are participating in. The Managing Committee of the YBCA have been organising the competitions informally for many years, and now want to put the officiating on a formal basis, which will be auditable by the Australian Bowling Association (ABA). They have passed a set of by-laws, and to ensure that the process works properly, and is fair, they have decided to commission a computer system – Official-Eze.

The customer appears at the reception desk and ask if there is an item available for immediate hire. When dealing with a booking or allocating an available item to a customer, the receptionist has to check whether the customer has previously hired equipment from the company or is a new customer. For a new customer, the receptionist has to enter the customer's details. Otherwise, the receptionist has to retrieve the existing customer's record and update any details if necessary. If the item is available then the customer can get it, otherwise, the receptionist might suggest other alternatives. If the alternative is accepted, then the receptionist allocates the tool and updated the customer record. Draw an activity diagram that models the data processing of hiring.arrow_forward
- A simulation of the Clinic Counter System will be carried out with the aim of improving customer waiting time problem. There are two types of customers, namely Type A and Type B customers and there are also 2 counters for Type A customers and 3 counters for Type B customers. In conducting a simulation study aimed at obtaining the actual number of counters that should be opened for these two types of customers, you have to: a) Determine the type of data to be collected and describe the data collection planning. b) Provide an example of the entities, activities, events, and state variables for the system above.arrow_forwardA university computer science department has a teaching assistant (TA) who helps undergraduate students with their programming assignments. The TA’s office is rather small and has room for only one desk with a chair and computer. There are three chairs in the hallway outside the office where students can sit and wait if the TA is currently helping another student. When there are no students who need help, the TA sits at the desk and takes a nap. If a student arrives and finds the TA sleeping, the student must awaken the TA to ask for help. If a student arrives and finds the TA currently helping another student, the student sits on one of the chairs in the hallway and waits. If no chairs are available, the student will come back at a later time. Using threads, implement a solution that coordinates the activities of the TA and the students.

- Submit solutions to the following problems in a single pdf document preferably completed using LaTeX. It is likely that you will need to use programming (Python) or a matrix calculator to solve most of the problems. You do not need to submit the code, but you should include explanations of all your conclusions. 1. Suppose a robot mouse is placed in a grid. Each room in the grid has doors that open to all other rooms. One room contains a trap so if the robot mouse enters that room, then the robot loses and the game ends. If the robot mouse makes it to the outside of the grid, then it wins and the game ends. Suppose the grid is 5x5 and the trap is in the third row, third column. When the robot mouse is placed in a room, it randomly selects a move left, right, up, or down until it is either trapped or reaches the outside. Assume that the starting point is never the room with the trap. What is the probability that the robot mouse will win the game? Does it depend on where the mouse begins?…arrow_forwardEvery company having customers maintains customer accounts and supports a complete life cycle of the account from its creation until it is closed. There are differences in what are the stages (states) in the account's life cycle, and what are conditions or events causing account to change its state.For the user account to be created, it has to meet some initial requirements. For example, user id (used as a login name) must be unique, at least for the existing accounts. After account was created, it might need to be verified. Verification depends on the company and could include e-mail, phone, and/or address verification. If account was not verified during some predefined period of time, that account could be moved to the suspended accounts. New, active, or suspended accounts could be cancelled at any time by client's request. Note, the precondition for this usually includes payment of any outstanding balances, and might require some separate account state or substate to handle this…arrow_forwardTo what extent would you be able to elaborate on the following four primary uses for continuous event simulation?arrow_forward
