Explanation of Solution

Big data

  • Big data describes datasets with huge volumes that are beyond the ability of typical database management system to capture, store, and analyze.
  • Big data includes structured and unstructured data captured from web traffic, email messages, and social media content like tweets and status messages.
  • It also includes machine-generated data from sensors.

Technologies for managing and analyzing big data

The three main technologies for managing and analyzing big data include:

Hadoop

  • Hadoop is an open-source software framework that enables distributed parallel processing of huge amounts of data across inexpensive computers.
  • The software breaks huge problems into smaller ones, processes each one on a distributed network of smaller computers, and then combines the results into a smaller data set that is easier to analyze...

Explanation of Solution

Components of a business intelligence infrastructure

  • Business intelligence (BI) infrastructure includes an array of tools for obtaining useful information from all the different types of data used by businesses today, including semi-structure and unstructured big data in vast quantities.
  • Data warehouses, data marts, Hadoop, in-memory processing, and analytical platforms are the components included in business intelligence infrastructure...

Explanation of Solution

Capabilities of online analytical processing

  • Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) represents relationships among data as a multidimensional structure, which can be visualized as cubes of data and cubes within cubes of data, enabling more sophisticated data analysis...

Explanation of Solution

Data mining

  • Data mining is the process of sorting through large data sets for identifying patterns and establishing relationships.
  • Data is mined in order to solve problems through data analysis.
  • Data mining tools are used to allow enterprises for predicting future trends.

Data mining and Online Analytical Processing (OLAP)

  • Data mining provides insights into corporate data that cannot be obtained with OLAP...

Explanation of Solution

Text mining and web mining from conventional data mining

  • Conventional data mining focuses on data that have been structured in databases and files.
  • Text mining concentrates on finding patterns and trends in unstructured data contained in text files.
  • The data may be in email, memos, call center transcripts, survey responses, legal cases, patent descriptions, and service reports...

Explanation of Solution

Users accessing information from internal database

  • Conventional databases can be linked by middleware to the web or a web interface to facilitate user access to an organization’s internal data.
  • Web browser software on a client personal computer is used to access a corporate web site over the Internet.
  • The web browser software requests data from the organization’s database using Hypertext Mark-up Language (HTML) commands to communicate with the web server...

Change the following code so that there is always at least one way to get from the left corner to the top right, but the labyrinth is still randomized. The player starts at the bottom left corner of the labyrinth. He has to get to the top right corner of the labyrinth as fast he can, avoiding a meeting with the evil dragon. Take care that the player and the dragon cannot start off on walls. Also the dragon starts off from a randomly chosen position   public class Labyrinth {    private final int size;    private final Cell[][] grid;     public Labyrinth(int size) {        this.size = size;        this.grid = new Cell[size][size];        generateLabyrinth();    }     private void generateLabyrinth() {        Random rand = new Random();        for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {            for (int j = 0; j < size; j++) {                // Randomly create walls and paths                grid[i][j] = new Cell(rand.nextBoolean());            }        }        // Ensure start and end are…
Change the following code so that it checks the following 3 conditions: 1. there is no space between each cells (imgs) 2. even if it is resized, the components wouldn't disappear 3. The GameGUI JPanel takes all the JFrame space, so that there shouldn't be extra space appearing in the frame other than the game.   Main():         Labyrinth labyrinth = new Labyrinth(10);         Player player = new Player(9, 0);        Dragon dragon = new Dragon(9, 9);         JFrame frame = new JFrame("Labyrinth Game");        GameGUI gui = new GameGUI(labyrinth, player, dragon);         frame.add(gui);        frame.setSize(600, 600);        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);        frame.setVisible(true);   public class GameGUI extends JPanel {    private final Labyrinth labyrinth;    private final Player player;    private final Dragon dragon; //labyrinth, player, dragon are just public classes     private final ImageIcon playerIcon = new ImageIcon("data/images/player.png");…
Make the following game user friendly with GUI, with some simple graphics. The GUI should be in another seperate class, with some ImageIcon, and Game class should be added into the pane. The following code works as this: The objective of the player is to escape from this labyrinth. The player starts at the bottom left corner of the labyrinth. He has to get to the top right corner of the labyrinth as fast he can, avoiding a meeting with the evil dragon. The player can move only in four directions: left, right, up or down. There are several escape paths in all labyrinths. The player’s character should be able to moved with the well known WASD keyboard buttons. If the dragon gets to a neighboring field of the player, then the player dies. Because it is dark in the labyrinth, the player can see only the neighboring fields at a distance of 3 units.  Cell Class: public class Cell { private boolean isWall; public Cell(boolean isWall) { this.isWall = isWall; } public boolean isWall() { return…
