Explanation of Solution

Composite entity:

A composite entity is normally used to convert M: N relationships into 1: M relationships. It is also referred as “bridge entity”, which has a primary key (PK) composed of multiple attributes.

  • The PK attributes are inherited from the entities, which it associates to one another.

Usage of composite entity in ERD:

In the Entity Relationship Management (ERM), an M: N relationship is effective at the conceptual level. But when implementing the ERM in a relational database, the M: N should be mapped to a set of 1: M relationships using “composite entity”.

Example:

Consider the entities CLASS and STUDENT with M: N relationship defined by following business rules:

  • A student can take several classes...

Dijkstra's Algorithm (part 1).  Consider the network shown below, and Dijkstra’s link-state algorithm. Here, we are interested in computing the least cost path from node E (note: the start node here is E) to all other nodes using Dijkstra's algorithm. Using the algorithm statement used in the textbook and its visual representation, complete the "Step 0" row in the table below showing the link state algorithm’s execution by matching the table entries (i), (ii), (iii), and (iv) with their values.  Write down your final [correct] answer, as you‘ll need it for the next question.
