Draw Swing class hierarchy diagram showing containers and components.

 What is Swing

Swing is a GUI widget toolkit for Java. It is built on top of the AWT API. Also, it is a part of Oracle’s Java Foundation Classes (JFC). Furthermore, Swing provides basic components such as labels, textboxes, buttons, etc. as well as advanced components such as tabbed panes, table, and, trees. Therefore, Swing provides more sophisticated components than AWT. Here, the programmer has to import javax.swing package to write a Swing application. This package provides a number of classes such as JButton, JTable, JList, JTextArea, and, JCheckBox.

Swing is platform-independent and its components are lightweight. Furthermore, the components require minimum memory space. Therefore, Swing applications execute much faster. One common design pattern in development is the Model, View, Controller (MVC) pattern. Swing follows this pattern. It helps to maintain the code easily.

Pure Versus Partial EC

Short note on E-Government Architecture

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?
