Explanation of Solution
Gantt Charts:
A Gantt chart also known as bar chart. It is used for displaying the schedule information by specifying the activities of the project and the dates like when they start and finish in a specific calendar format.
- Gantt chart for the software projects usually contains milestones, tasks, task durations and arrows showing task dependencies.
- In software project Gantt chart, we generally have a black diamond symbol, thick black bars, grey horizontal bars, arrows and white diamond symbols.
- The black diamond symbol generally represents a milestone.
- The thick black bars with arrows represent the summary tasks.
- The grey horizontal bars represent the duration of each task.
- Arrows show the relationship between the tasks.
- The white diamond represents a missed milestone.
Critical Path Method:
Critical Path Method is a network diagramming technique. It is used for predicting the duration of the total project.
- This tool helps in combating the schedule overruns.
- It is also known as critical path analysis.
- Critical path is nothing but a series of activities, which determines the earliest time that a project needs to be completed.
- It has a less amount of slack and float.
- Slack and float is the time in which an activity can be delayed without actually delaying the project finish project.
- In order to develop a critical path for a project, we need to develop a network diagram first.
- Once the network diagram is created we can determine the critical path by estimating the duration of each activity.
- We use critical path to make schedule Trade-offs and to shorten a project schedule...

Suppose your computer is responding very slowly to information requests from the Internet. You observe that your network gateway shows high levels of network activity even though you have closed your e-mail client, Web browser, and all other programs that access the Internet.
What types of malwares could cause such symptoms? What steps can you take to check whether malware has gained access to your system? What tools can you use at each step? If you identify malware, what ways might it have entered your system? How can you restore your PC to safe operation, including the special software tools you may use?

- Compare the security services provided by a digital signature (DS) with those of a message authentication code (MAC). Assume that Oscar can observe all messages sent between Rina and Naseem. Oscar has no knowledge of any keys but the public one, in the case of DS. State whether DS and MAC protect against each attack and, if they do, how. The value auth(x) is computed with a DS or a MAC algorithm. In each scenario, assume the message M = x#####auth(x). (Message integrity) Rina has the textual data x = “Transfer $1000 to Mark” to send to Naseem. To ensure the integrity of the data, Rina generates auth(x), forms a message M, and then sends M in cleartext to Naseem. Oscar intercepts the message and replaces “Mark” with “Oscar.” Will Naseem detect this in the case of either DS or MAC? If yes, how will Naseem detect it? If not, why? (Replay) Rina has the textual data x = “Transfer $1000 to Mark” to send to Naseem. To ensure the integrity of the data, Rina generates auth(x), forms a message…arrow_forwardI need to resolve the following....You are trying to convince your boss that your company needs to invest in a license for MS-Project (project management software from Microsoft) before beginning a systems project.

Problem Description: Define the Circle2D class that contains: Two double data fields named x and y that specify the center of the circle with get methods. • A data field radius with a get method. • A no-arg constructor that creates a default circle with (0, 0) for (x, y) and 1 for radius. • A constructor that creates a circle with the specified x, y, and radius. • A method getArea() that returns the area of the circle. • A method getPerimeter() that returns the perimeter of the circle. • • • A method contains(double x, double y) that returns true if the specified point (x, y) is inside this circle. See Figure (a). A method contains(Circle2D circle) that returns true if the specified circle is inside this circle. See Figure (b).

All classes must be created in Animal (5) First, start by building a class that describes an Animal at a Zoo. It should have one private instance variable for the name of the animal, and one for its hunger status (fed or hungry). Add methods for setting and getting the hunger satus variable, along with a getter for the name. Consider how these should be named for code clarity. For instance, using a method called hungry () to make the animal hungry could be used as a setter for the hunger field. The same logic could be applied to when it's being fed: public void feed () { this.fed = true; Furthermore, the getter for the fed variable could be named is Fed as it is more descriptive about what it answers when compared to get Fed. Keep this technique in mind for future class designs. Zoo (10) Now we have the animals designed and ready for building a little Zoo!
