Information Silo:

Information silo is nothing but a condition that occurs when the information systems isolates data. In other words, the management of information system is unable to freely connect with other managements.

Existence of Silos:

Silos come into existence when the information systems isolate data. For example: consider inventory department, here, the sales registry, client’s information, account balance, etc. are maintained by separate workgroups. Such type of maintaining records are common, but over time, the presence of these separate records may result in information silos, which will cause various problems.

Problems of silos:

In the above example, the presence of separate records may result in information silos which cause various problems. Here, the problems occur between retail departments which stores information about stock details, the service department which stores data about the types of services they provide and client details, and the accounting department.

Some of the major problems caused by information silos at workgroup level are as follows:

Problem 1: They contain redundant data which results in inconsistency. When a particular organization contains inconsistent information, integrity problem occurs...

Objective  you will: 1. Implement a Binary Search Tree (BST) from scratch, including the Big Five (Rule of Five)  2. Implement the TreeSort algorithm using a in-order traversal to store sorted elements in a vector. 3. Compare the performance of TreeSort with C++'s std::sort on large datasets. Part 1: Understanding TreeSort How TreeSort Works TreeSort is a comparison-based sorting algorithm that leverages a Binary Search Tree (BST): 1. Insert all elements into a BST (logically sorting them). 2. Traverse the BST in-order to extract elements in sorted order. 3. Store the sorted elements in a vector.  Time Complexity Operation                                Average Case     Worst Case (Unbalanced Tree)Insertion                                     0(1log n)                0 (n)Traversal (Pre-order)                  0(n)                       0 (n)Overall Complexity                  0(n log n)                 0(n^2) (degenerated tree) Note: To improve performance, you could use a…
