A company deals with tasks which take a long time to complete. Each worker has their duties that can be done offline. It’s essential for managers to estimate how long a task will take to be completed. The company uses a time-sharing system and all the users are able to finish their work in the system at the same time. However they noticed their gadgets to slow down fast. Also the workers notice the inconvenience while managing large workloads. What may be causing these problems? What decision should the company make?

· The company

wants to execute a lot of things at the same time, which is now impossible, so

each worker needs to use different languages to get the job done. In their case

the company should use Operating System

· Workers cannot

send direct instructions to the complier to execute various activities since it

is extremely difficult for the user to transform their request or instruction

into one language. In their case the company should use Input/Output System

· The company

uses a system that dedicates time to a certain activity and frequently switches

between the computers, which is overloading while completing long tasks. In

their case the company should use Batch System

A UNIX based operating system, was originally

developed in the mid-’90s. Its major offerings include scalability,

interoperability, data management and security, all of which are crucial for

businesses that need high-end operating software. In addition to the above, it

is also known for its web, database and Java-based services and its unlimited

capacity for helping in managing file system and databases is a big plus as

well. Which operating system is described:

· Solaris, which

is known as Oracle Solaris since 2010 when Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems

· Ubuntu, built

on the architecture and infrastructure of Debian

· Free BSD,

developed in the University of California by a large community

An information society is a society

where the usage, creation, distribution, manipulation and integration of

information is a significant activity. Which of the following statements is not

true about the Information Society?

· The

information society refers to the social, economic, technological, and cultural

changes that have occurred as a result of the rapid development and extensive

use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in modern countries,

particularly since World War II

· According to

Professor W. Martin attempted to formulate the main characteristics of the

information society according to the Social and Technological criteria

· The

information society has been formed decades ago, and therefore has been widely

studied from different angles; experts have reached the consensus regarding the

“Information Society” term

Artificial intelligence is becoming more

standardized, making it more accessible to a subject-matter expert who isn’t

necessarily a knowledge engineering expert. What standards are becoming more

common accessible and useful today?

· International

Organization for Standardization (ISO) Remote Data Access (RDA)

· American

National Admissions Institute (ANSI) Structured Join Language (SQL)

· Object

Management Group (OMG) – Common Object Broker Architecture (CORBA)

· Hypertext

Markup Language (HTML), Extensible Markup Language (XML)

· Web Ontology

Language (OWL), Knowledge Query and Manipulation Language, Win Interchange

Format (KIF)

Cryptography is the study of secure

communications techniques that allow only the sender and intended recipient of

a message to view its contents. What does a massive use of cryptography lead

to?

· Among other

things, it leads to protection of accounting for payment by subscribers of a

digital communication channel

· It leads to

the dissemination of obscene materials that pose a threat to the moral

foundations of society, because people feel free when they can act anonymously,

distribute, buy and sell illegal materials with low chance of tracing them

· It leads to a

significant improvement of the identification of people by automatic machines

when crossing the borders of states

Data access can be difficult due to many

problems. Which of the following situations describes the documentation

problem?

· I need your

information now or I won't be able to use it. The data transfer process is too

slow, possibly unavailable. Because you have an older system, the migration

process is too slow and inefficient. I must have immediate access to your data;

otherwise your data will not help me

· The systems

are not connected to the same network. Your data is too inconvenient to

download. When the systems are not on the same network, downloading data can be

too inconvenient. The widespread use of the World Wide Web has reduced the

number of problems in this area, but separate networks will always exist

· Users are not

aware of specific data sets because your metadata is not published. When

metadata is not widely available, users may not even know what data sets they

need

In the 1960s and 1970s, microcomputers

and minicomputers became available to businesses and individuals. Thanks to

what technology did it become possible?

· This was made

possible by the creation of integrated circuit

· This was made

possible by the creation of macro chips

· This was made

possible by the creation of 4-bit processor

· This was made

possible by the creation of UNIVAC

Martin Timmerman formulated the

necessary requirements for an RTOS. Two of them are about priorities. Why the

combination of priorities is necessary?

· The RTS

software is a fixed set of pre-developed modules, and the choice of a program

for execution is carried out by interrupts (based on the current state of the

object) or in accordance with the scheduled work schedule

· It is the

opposite of “necessary”, as the combination of thread priorities can lead to

problems such as priority inversion and deadlock

· RTOS needs to

share resources. There are a lot of real-time process and system resources for

their operation must be available in advance

Most businesses don’t want to deal with

non-core tasks, which include the IT infrastructure. And if it has to pay for a

data center, it has to function at maximum efficiency. Crisis situations are

exacerbating resource shortages. Enterprises are cutting IT budgets, investing

less in long-term projects in general and in data centers in particular. It is

impossible to abandon IT altogether – it is equal to giving up doing business,

but phased financing and speed of commissioning come to the fore. What do

today’s IT managers face while having limited budgetary resources to expand

data centers?

· Task of

providing more services to more users, meeting ever-increasing performance

expectations, storing and managing exponentially increasing amounts of data,

better protecting the network, and ensuring system stability

· Mail to be

lost when using postal mail, and neither the sender nor the receiver would know

where the letter was or whether it had been delivered

· They face a

lot of challenges as “hundreds of billions of dollars are spent annually on

mobile phones, electronic devices, computers, and other microelectronic

products, spawning an entire industry that did not exist a decade ago”

Prior to the transistor’s discovery in

1947, the only way to execute amplification of a weak current in an electronic

circuit was to use a vacuum tube. What were the initial advantages transistors

demonstrated over small vacuum tubes?

· Transistors

had longer lifespan, were smaller and many of them could be placed on a single

chip

· Transistors

were larger, while consuming far less power. They were more reliable

· Small vacuum

tubes’ production cost was much higher. Tubes’ material turned out to be

harmful for people’s skin

The first recognized use of the word

“computer” was from 1613.What did the “computer” use to mean before this word

started to refer to devices?

· It was used

for people who have a high level of intelligence

· It was used

for a device which helped ships to calculate their latitude at sea

· It was used

for people who performed repetitive mathematical operations

The OS-9 family of real-time operating

systems has been in use for over 20 years, with more than 5 million installed

copies. The range of OS-9 applications is wide – industrial automation,

instrumental and measuring systems, military and space systems. Why has the

OS-9 been so popular and widely used?

· Number of

supported hardware platforms and the quality of that support; various

development tools; advanced network facilities

· Unlimited

number of tasks; it's the first commercial real-time OS designed for building

highly reliable fault-tolerant systems

· Their protocol

is not based on any of the common network protocols such as IPX or NetBios and

has a number of qualities that make it unique; keeps specific hardware running

smoothly
