Explanation of Solution

From the viewpoint of large telecommunications companies:

Large telecommunications companies want to get rid of the Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) by replacing their existing POTS networks with Internet Protocol systems as it is less expensive and easy to provide cellular coverage rather than using expensive copper twisted-pair phone lines in rural areas to support small population. The cost of maintaining the existing POTS has become a difficult task.

b.

From the viewpoint of people from rural areas:

People from metropolitan cities have no issues with this but people in rural areas have to see to it that there is continuous power supply and also has proper wireless capabilities. In addition to this, there is also the issue with safety as it is easy to locate the place with problem with the help of landline connection but when it comes to wireless phones, it is tough to locate the issue.

After playing our giving implementation, your task is to implement Dinning Philosophers with semaphore in C, by including and Your implementation will require creating five philosophers, each identified by a number 0.4. Each philosopher will run as a separate thread. Create threads using Pthreads as discussed in the Lecture slides on Chapter 4 and Practice Lab on Threads. Your solution needs to accomplish the following: Implement in C (15 points) 1. dp1.c - You are to provide your solution to this assignment as a single C program named 'dp1.c using semaphore. Explain in you code (as comments) that the dead lock will happen or not. If there is a possible deadlock, you can simply solve the deadlock by pick the fork in order like the first solution in our slides. Solve Deadlock by Footman (15 points) 1. Here is a new solution to overcome the deadlock. The Dining Philosophers decide to hire a footman whose task to allow only four philosophers to sit on the table. When entering and…
