Program Plan Intro
Industrial Supply Company Scenario:
- A data warehouse has to be created by the company where management can gain a single corporate-wide view of critical sales information for identifying best-selling products in specific geographic areas, sales trends as well as key customers.
- The information regarding sales and products are stored in both the divisional sales system that runs on a UNIX server and a corporate sales system that runs on an IBM mainframe.
- The main aim is to create a single standard format, which consolidates these data from both the systems.
Explanation of Solution
Easiness of creating a
- It is ideally easy to create a database with a single standard format. When a new database is constructed, data quality audits and data cleansing must be performed.
- Thee data quality suits and data cleansing can correct any redundancies and inaccuracies in the current systems.
- By using the data cleansing software, the company can combine and integrate the data from all the systems into a single standard format, which is uniform throughout the whole company...
Explanation of Solution
Problem Solving:
- Database specialists help to solve the problems by performing the data quality audits and database cleansing. It also helps to establish an information policy and develop the new database...
Explanation of Solution
Authority to finalize a single company-wide format:
- General business managers have the authority, as they are responsible for the data.
- They have the final power to decide, when managing data resources...

- Computer programs can be very complex, containing thousands (or millions) of lines of code and performing millions of operations per second. Given this, how can we possibly know that a particular computer program's results are correct? Do some research on this topic then think carefully about your response. Also, explain how YOU would approach testing a large problem. Your answer must be thoughtful and give some insight into why you believe your steps would be helpful when testing a large program.arrow_forwardCould you fix this?

- B A E H Figure 1 K Questions 1. List the shortest paths between all node pairs. Indicate the number of shortest paths that pass through each edge. Explain how this information helps determine edge betweenness. 2. Compute the edge betweenness for each configuration of DFS. 3. Remove the edge(s) with the highest betweenness and redraw the graph. Recompute the edge betweenness centrality for the new graph. Explain how the network structure changes after removing the edge. 4. Iteratively remove edges until at least two communities form. Provide step-by-step calculations for each removal. Explain how edge betweenness changes dynamically during the process. 5. How many communities do you detect in the final step? Compare the detected communities with the original graph structure. Discuss whether the Girvan- Newman algorithm successfully captures meaningful subgroups. 6. If you were to use degree centrality instead of edge betweenness for community detection, how would the results change?arrow_forwardUnit 1 Assignment 1 – Loops and Methods (25 points) Task: You are working for Kean University and given the task of building an Email Registration System. Your objective is to generate a Kean email ID and temporary password for every new user. The system will prompt for user information and generate corresponding credentials. You will develop a complete Java program that consists of the following modules: Instructions: 1. Main Method: ○ The main method should include a loop (of your choice) that asks for input from five users. For each user, you will prompt for their first name and last name and generate the email and password by calling two separate methods. Example о Enter your first name: Joe Enter your last name: Rowling 2.generateEmail() Method: This method will take the user's first and last name as parameters and return the corresponding Kean University email address.
