Program Plan Intro

Time sharing:

  • Time sharing operating system was developed when computer systems were very expensive and shared by multiuser at the same time.
  • This operating system enables the multi-users to share the particular system resources at the same time.
  • In this technique, each and every task of the user is given specific time and the system restricts the execution of each task or job to only one interval at a time which assist the system to perform all the tasks smoothly without being interrupted.
  • This operating system uses CPU scheduling and multiprogramming technology to offer each user small portion of time to perform their operation.

Multitasking:

  • As the name implies the term multitasking means several task is being processed at the same time. This technique contains common processing resources like a CPU and this resource is shared by each task or process. Practically, it is very difficult for a computer with single CPU to process more than one task at the same time this is when multitasking operating system becomes handy.
  • It uses scheduling techniques that decide which task should be a running task and when the other tasks in queue should be performed.
  • This operating system performs these operations with the help of a signal or interrupter which indicates CPU to keep the current task aside and save the present status in the buffer and return to another task.

Please answer the JAVA OOP Programming Assignment scenario below: Patriot Ships is a new cruise line company which has a fleet of 10 cruise ships, each with a capacity of 300 passengers. To manage its operations efficiently, the company is looking for a program that can help track its fleet, manage bookings, and calculate revenue for each cruise. Each cruise is tracked by a Cruise Identifier (must be 5 characters long), cruise route (e.g. Miami to Nassau), and ticket price. The program should also track how many tickets have been sold for each cruise. Create an object-oriented solution with a menu that allows a user to select one of the following options: 1. Create Cruise – This option allows a user to create a new cruise by entering all necessary details (Cruise ID, route, ticket price). If the maximum number of cruises has already been created, display an error message. 2. Search Cruise – This option allows to search a cruise by the user provided cruise ID. 3. Remove Cruise – This op…

Southern Airline has 15 daily flights from Miami to New York.  Each flight requires two pilots.  Flights that do not have two pilots are canceled (passengers are transferred to other airlines).  The average profit per flight is $6000.  Because pilots get sick from time to time, the airline is considering a policy of keeping four *reserve pilots on standby to replace sick pilots.  Such pilots would introduce an additional cost of $1800 per reserve pilot (whether they fly or not). The pilots on each flight are distinct and the likelihood of any pilot getting sick is independent of the likelihood of any other pilot getting sick.  Southern believes that the probability of any given pilot getting sick is 0.15.  A) Run a simulation of this situation with at least 1000 iterations and report the following for the present policy (no reserve pilots) and the proposed policy (four reserve pilots): The average daily utilization of the aircraft (percentage of total flights that fly) The…
