Explain basic principles of project scheduling.

-

 Solution:-

Compartmentalization: The project must be compartmentalized into a number of manageable activities, actions and tasks; both the product and the process are decomposed.

Interdependency: The interdependency of each compartmentalized activity, action or task must be determined. Some tasks must occur in sequence while others can occur in parallel. Some actions or activities cannot commence until the work product produced by another is available.

Time allocation: Each task to be scheduled must be allocated some number of work units. In addition, each task must be assigned a start date and a completion date that is a function of the interdependencies. Start and stop dates are also established based on whether work will be conducted on a full-time or part-time basis.

Effort validation: Every project has a defined number of people on the team. As time allocation occurs, the project manager must ensure that no more than the allocated number of people has been scheduled at any given time.

Defined responsibilities: Every task that is scheduled should be assigned to a specific team member.

Defined outcomes: Every task that is scheduled should have a defined outcome for software projects such as a work product or part of a work product. Work products are often combined in deliverables.

Defined milestones: Every task or group of tasks should be associated with a project milestone. A milestone is accomplished when one or more work products has been reviewed for quality and has been approved.

State the functions of Hub, Repeater, Bridge and Router.

-
  1)Hub : Hub connects all nodes in star topology. Hub is broadcasting device. It sends packets to all nodes in the network. It works at Physical Layer of OSI model. 2) Repeater : Repeaters are used to take the distorted, weak and corrupt input signal and regenerate this signal at its output. It ensures that the signals are not distorted or weak before it reaches the destination. It increases the signal strength. 3)Bridge : A bridge device filters data traffic at a network boundary. Bridges reduces the amount of traffic on a LAN by dividing it into two segments. It inspects incoming traffic and decides whether to forward or discard it. It sends packets between two networks of same type. 4)Router : Router chooses the best path for packet forwarding. Router read complex network address in packet. It works at Network Layer of OSI model Efficiently direct packets from one network to another, reducing excessive traffic. Join neighbouring or distant network Connect dissimilar networks. P...

Describe the OSI model with neat diagram.

  Solution:- OSI model (open system interconnection) model was developed by ISO (international standard organization) Function of OSI model: i. It provides way to understand how internetwork operates.  ii. It gives guideline for creating network standard. OSI model has 7 layers as shown in the figure.  OSI model has following 7 layers as Physical layer, data link layer, Network layer, Transport layer, session layer, presentation layer, application layer.  1. Physical layer: 1. It co-ordinates the functions required to transmit bit stream over physical medium. 2. It deals with mechanical and electrical specifications of interface and transmission medium. Functions of physical layer are: Physical characteristics of interfaces and media.  Representation of bits: Data rate (transmission rate).  Synchronization of bits.  Line configuration: Point to point or multipoint configuration should be used.  2. Data link layer: 1. It is responsible for transmit...

Explain Database languages.

-
Data Definition Language The language is used to create database, tables, alter them, etc. With this, you can also rename the database, or drop them. It specifies the database schema. The DDL statements include − CREATE :  Create new database, table, etc. ALTER : Alter existing database, table, etc. DROP : Drop the database RENAME : Set a new name for the table. Data Manipulation Language The language used to manipulate the database like inserting data, updating table, retrieving record  from a table, etc. is known as Data Manipulation Language − SELECT : Retrieve data from the database INSERT : Insert data UPDATE :  Update data DELETE : Delete all records Data Control Language Grant privilege to a user using the GRANT statement. In the same way, revoke the privilege using the REVOKE statement. Both of these statements come under the Data Control Language (DCL). − GRANT : Give privilege to access the database. REVOKE:  Take back the privilege to access the database. ...
