Explanation of Solution

Need and functions of data warehouses:

Data warehouse:

A data warehouse is an architecture that is used to gather and collect all the non-volatile, subject oriented, and integrated data, by which the analysts in an organization can study and take informed decisions.

Data mart:

In order to address a particular functional or business area, a small part of data warehouse is used, which is called data mart.

  • Data marts contain only functionally related data, and they get their data from data warehouses.

Need for data warehouse and data marts:

  • There is a concern for security and control to use operational data by analysts.
  • Operational data is not suited for business intelligence (BI) analysis, as there will be reduced system performance. This is because the BI analysis requires considerable processing.
  • Due to these reasons, most organizations extract operational data, and in order to manage the organizations data, data warehouse is required.

Functions of data warehouse and data marts:

  • Obtain and integrate all the incoming data from various data sources.
  • Gather all the data and cleanse them by finding out the errors and correcting them.
  • Transform the cleaned data into warehouse format, organize, and relate those using data transformation techniques.
  • Categorize the data by sorting, summarizing, and building indices and partition for the data present in the data warehouse.

Role of data warehouse components:

  • Data cleaning and data extraction tools:
  • First, the data from operational databases and other internal and external data are extracted and are cleaned using data cleaning tools. And then, the data are prepared for BI Processing.
  • Data warehouse’s database management system (DBMS):
  • The data that are prepared for BI Processing are stored in a data warehouse.
  • The data warehouse’s database management system contains the data from data warehouse metadata and data warehouse database.
  • Business intelligence tools:
  • The business intelligence users are usually specialists in data analysis, who use business intelligence tools on the data stored on the data warehouse.

Problems in the data used for data mining and sophisticated reporting:

Curse of dimensionality:

  • The curse of dimensionality is refers to the problem that arises when one analyses and organizes the data in high-dimensional spaces...

Lab 07: Java Graphics (Bonus lab) In this lab, we'll be practicing what we learned about GUIs, and Mouse events. You will need to implement the following: ➤ A GUI with a drawing panel. We can click in this panel, and you will capture those clicks as a Point (see java.awt.Point) in a PointCollection class (you need to build this). о The points need to be represented by circles. Below the drawing panel, you will need 5 buttons: о An input button to register your mouse to the drawing panel. ○ о о A show button to paint the points in your collection on the drawing panel. A button to shift all the points to the left by 50 pixels. The x position of the points is not allowed to go below zero. Another button to shift all the points to the right 50 pixels. The x position of the points cannot go further than the You can implement this GUI in any way you choose. I suggest using the BorderLayout for a panel containing the buttons, and a GridLayout to hold the drawing panel and button panels.…
If a UDP datagram is sent from host A, port P to host B, port Q, but at host B there is no process listening to port Q, then B is to send back an ICMP Port Unreachable message to A. Like all ICMP messages, this is addressed to A as a whole, not to port P on A. (a)  Give an example of when an application might want to receive such ICMP messages. (b)  Find out what an application has to do, on the operating system of your choice, to receive such messages. (c)  Why might it not be a good idea to send such messages directly back to the originating port P on A?
