Three-tier architecture:

The three-tier architecture is a fundamental design of user computers and servers that contains three major components or tiers such as follows:

User tier

Server tier

Database tier

Role of each tier in above architecture:

User tier:

This tier contains computers and mobile devices which have web browsers that request the web page to process it.

Server tier:

It consists of computers that execute web servers and process the requesting application programs.

Database tier:

It also contains computers that execute DBMS, which process the user request to fetch and store data in the database.

Working methodology of three-tier architecture:

When user enter an e-commerce website to buy products online, example “www.zulily.com” in their browser, the browser send a request to a computer in the server tire. Server tier computers can execute applications like web server, a commerce server and so on.

The requested “www.zulily.com” page will be displayed on the user’s computer. If the user had clicked any product such as shoe, then the commerce server will send a request to the DBMS to retrieve shoe’s data from the database.

Finally the server formats the page with the data and sends that web page to the user’s computer.

SOA:

SOA stands for “Service-Oriented Architecture”. It is a philosophy that states, each interaction among computing devices are referred as services in a prescribed, standard way.

Reason for encapsulation:

According to SOA terms, the work of each department is encapsulated in the department.

By using SOA philosophies, each department will formally state the services it provides. Similarly each department will officially state the data it supposes to receive with the request and the data it potentials to return as user’s response.

Hence there is no personal contact between each department.

Advantages of SOA in three-tier architecture:

SOA services are stated between the web server and the DBMS server on application back end. Therefore, the DBMS server need not do anything while the number and location of the web server gets adjusted.

Similarly, the web server need not do anything while the number and location of the DBMS server gets adjusted.

Protocol:

A set of rules and structures for organizing communications is referred as protocol.

TCP/IP protocol architecture:

The TCP/IP protocol architecture contains five layers and one or more protocols which are defined in each layer.

Computer programs are written by data communication and software vendors, which can implement the rules for specific protocol.

Purpose of internet protocols:

HTTP:

HTTP stands for “Hypertext Transfer Protocol”...

module : java q1 and q2 in image Question3: (30 MARKS) Passenger Rail Agency for South Africa Train Scheduling System Problem Statement Design and implement a train scheduling system for Prasa railway network. The system should handle the following functionalities: 1. Scheduling trains: Allow the addition of train schedules, ensuring that no two trains use the same platform at the same time at any station. 2. Dynamic updates: Enable adding new train schedules and canceling existing ones. 3. Real-time simulation: Use multithreading to simulate the operation of trains (e.g., arriving, departing). 4. Data management: Use ArrayList to manage train schedules and platform assignments. Requirements 1. Add Train Schedule, Cancel Scheduled Train, View Train Schedules and Platform Management 2. Concurrency Handling with Multithreading i.e Use threads to…
