How applet is different from desktop applications?

-

 The main difference between Applet and Application is that the applet is a small java program that can be executed by a Java-compatible web browser while the application is a standalone program that can directly run on the machine. 

The major difference between both of these is that an application is a standalone program that can run independently whereas an applet can run on a java compatible web browser only.  An application has access to all the resources on a system while an applet does not have any access to the resources on a system.

 OR,












In this post, we will understand the difference between Applet and Application.
Application
  • They are similar to Java programs.
  • They can be executed independently without using web browser.
  • It requires a 'main' function for it to be executed.
  • Java applications have full access to local file system and network.
  • They can access all kinds of resources that are available to the system.
  • They can execute the programs with the help of the local system.
  • An application program is required when a task needs to be directly performed for the user.
Applets
  • They are small Java programs.
  • They have been designed to be included with HTML documents.
  • They need Java-enabled web browser to be executed.
  • It doesn't need a main function to get  executed.
  • It doesn't have local disk and network access.
  • It can access the browser specific services only.
  • They can't access the local system.
  • They can't execute programs from local machines.
  • It is required to perform small tasks or it can be used as a part of a task.

Main Differences Between Application and Applet

  • Applications are large programs, whereas applets are smaller programs.
  • Applications are standalone programs that can run independently and do not need a web browser. On the other hand, applets are embedded within an HTML page and need a java compatible web browser to run.
  • For the execution of applications, main method() is required. On the other hand, for the execution of applets  inti() is required
  • Applications are able to access all the data, information, folder and file that are available on the system whereas applets do not have access to any data, information, folder and file that are available on the system.
  •  Applications do not require much security, since they are trusted programs. On the other hand, applets require high-security since they are not trusted programs.
  • Applications do not require any Graphical User Interface (GUI) to run, whereas Appltes have to run with a Graphical User Interface (GUI).

Key Differences Between Applet and Application

  • Lets understand the difference between applet and application through the given points:
  • Applets are not entirely featured application programs and are usually written to achieve a small task or part of it. On the other hand, an Application is a program which runs on an underlying operating system. These are generic in a sense and designed to perform a specific task directly for the user.
  • An applet does not use the main() method. Instead, it automatically calls defined methods after loading, for Applet class to start and execute the applet code. On the contrary, Application uses main() method for initiating the execution of the code.
  • Dissimilar to the stand-alone application, the independent execution of an applet is not possible. They are run from inside a web page using a special feature known as HTML tag.
  • Applets cannot write to and read from the files in the local computer. While Application can perform such operation to the files in the local computer.
  • Prior installation is not required in an applet. As against, Prior explicit installation is necessarily needed while using an Application.
  • Constraints are imposed on applets for using libraries from other languages and also local files. Whereas Application can access libraries as well as local files.
  • An application can run several programs from the local computer. In contrast, Applets can not do so.

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)?

a) A Snowflake Shema is shown in figure below: b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed: 1. Roll-up on course from course_id to department. 2. Roll-up on a student from student_id to university. 3. Dice on course, student with department ="CS" and university = "biguniversity" 4. Drill-down on a student from the university to student_name. c) N = 4 dimensions The cube will contain 54 = 625 cuboids.

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the four dimensions; date, spectator, location, and game, and the two measures, count and charge, where charge is the fee that a spectator pays when watching a game on a given date. Spectators may be students, adults, or seniors, with each category having its own charge rate. a) Draw a star schema diagram for the data b) Starting with the base cuboid [date; spectator; location; game], what specific OLAP operations should perform in order to list the total charge paid by student spectators at GM Place in 2004?

Discuss classification or taxonomy of virtualization at different levels.

Taxonomy of virtualization Virtualization is mainly used to emulate the execution environment, storage, and networks. The execution environment is classified into two: – Process-level – implemented on top of an existing operating system.  – System-level – implemented directly on hardware and does not or minimum requirement of the existing operating system. OR,  Virtualization covers a wide range of emulation techniques that are applied to different areas of computing. A classification of these techniques helps us better understand their characteristics and use  V irtualization is mainly used to emulate  ● Execution Environments: To provide support for the execution of the programs eg. OS, and Application.  ○ Process Level: Implemented on top of an existing OS that has full control of the hardware  ○ System Level: Implemented directly on Hardware and do not require support from existing OS.  ● Storage: Storage virtualization is a system administration practice that allo
