 Features of simple network:

  • The client computers, server computer, network operating system software, network interfaces, hub, and a connection medium are the entities of a simple network.
  • The basic responsibility of network operating system software is to control the network and its functions.
  • One client computer is connected to another client computer within the same network.
  • Hubs and switches function are to send packets of data to all other linked devices.
  • The network helps web pages to store data and network operating system.
  • The switch has the capability to select a particular destination while the hub sends a packet to all other linked devices.
  • The network components links with the connection mediums such as coaxial cables, radio signals or telephone wires.
  • The Microsoft Window Server, Linux and Novell Open Enterprise Server are the most commonly used network operating system software...

Explanation of Solution

Principal technologies and trends:

 Some of the principal technologies and trends which have shaped contemporary telecommunications systems are as follows:

  • Client/ Server computing
  • Packet switching
  • TCP/ IP and Connectivity

    Client/ Server computing:

  • Client/ Server computing is defined as a distributed computing model where a part of the processing power is placed within cheap client computers and exist in laptops, handled devices or desktops.
  • It also allows for computing to departments, factory floors, workgroups and other parts of a business that couldn’t be worked by a centralized architecture.
  • The clients are linked to other clients through networks that is controlled by a network server computer.
  • It has replaced by centralized mainframe computer.
  • The process of the client/ server computing has no longer taken place on a central large mainframe computer.

Packet Switching:

  • Messages transferring in the internet are divided into fixed size unit of data called packets.
    • Messages are divided into packets to increase the performance and reliability of the internet.
    • Ιt also improves the effectiveness of the communication line in the internet.
  • Packets travel through several routers before it reaches the destination...

Please answer the JAVA OOP Programming Assignment scenario below: Patriot Ships is a new cruise line company which has a fleet of 10 cruise ships, each with a capacity of 300 passengers. To manage its operations efficiently, the company is looking for a program that can help track its fleet, manage bookings, and calculate revenue for each cruise. Each cruise is tracked by a Cruise Identifier (must be 5 characters long), cruise route (e.g. Miami to Nassau), and ticket price. The program should also track how many tickets have been sold for each cruise. Create an object-oriented solution with a menu that allows a user to select one of the following options: 1. Create Cruise – This option allows a user to create a new cruise by entering all necessary details (Cruise ID, route, ticket price). If the maximum number of cruises has already been created, display an error message. 2. Search Cruise – This option allows to search a cruise by the user provided cruise ID. 3. Remove Cruise – This op…

Southern Airline has 15 daily flights from Miami to New York.  Each flight requires two pilots.  Flights that do not have two pilots are canceled (passengers are transferred to other airlines).  The average profit per flight is $6000.  Because pilots get sick from time to time, the airline is considering a policy of keeping four *reserve pilots on standby to replace sick pilots.  Such pilots would introduce an additional cost of $1800 per reserve pilot (whether they fly or not). The pilots on each flight are distinct and the likelihood of any pilot getting sick is independent of the likelihood of any other pilot getting sick.  Southern believes that the probability of any given pilot getting sick is 0.15.  A) Run a simulation of this situation with at least 1000 iterations and report the following for the present policy (no reserve pilots) and the proposed policy (four reserve pilots): The average daily utilization of the aircraft (percentage of total flights that fly) The…
