 Leadership

 Leadership is the art of influencing subordinates to direct their will, abilities, and efforts for the achievement of predetermined organizational objectives. Leadership is the essence of the organized vision and dedication of the individual.

Leadership, in addition, is the process of meeting the needs of many different types of people who are working together toward achieving the organizational goal. People who direct or command or lead subordinates are called leaders and those who follow the direction or order or the leadership are called followers. In an organization, in general, by hierarchy, managers are leaders of supervisors and supervisors are the leaders of first-line employees. Leader, followers, and situation are the major components of leadership. It's an important function of management. 

  • Stephen Robbins: "Leadership is the ability to influence a group towards achievement of goals.
  • " James Stoner: "Leadership is the process of directing and influencing the task-related activities of group members
  • " Koontz & Weihrich: "Leadership is defined as an influence, which is the art or process of influencing people so that they will strive willingly and enthusiastically towards the achievement of group goals."
  • Leadership thus is the process of influencing the behaviors, activities, and efforts of individuals and groups of individuals for achieving organizational goals. It is the act of directing the people so that they boost their interest and efforts in their job. 
  • It is one of the most important management functions without which no one can imagine for proper utilization of resources of the organization and hence the organizational success. To be a successful leader, a manager must possess qualities of foresight, initiative, drive, self-confidence, positive attitude, and personal integrity.

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.

Explain market-Oriented Cloud computing architecture.

  Market Oriented Cloud Computing (Mocc) As customers rely on Cloud providers to cover all of their computing needs, they will expect certain Qe from their providers to fulfill their objectives and continue their operations. Cloud providers must examine and satisfy the various QoS standards of each unique consumer as stipulated in unique SLAs. To do this, cloud providers cannot continue to install traditional system-centric resource management architectures that do not give incentives for them to share their resources while still treating all service requests as equal insignificance. Instead, market-oriented resource management is required to maintain the supply and demand for Cloud resources at market equilibrium, provide feedback in the form of economic incentives for both Cloud consumers and providers, and promote QoS-based resource allocation mechanisms that differentiate service requests based on their utility. The diagram depicts a high-level architecture for enabling market-orie

  Healthcare: ECG (Electrocardiogram) Analysis in cloud computing Healthcare is a field, subject, sector, or territory in which information technology has several uses. These apps are being used to aid businesses in supporting scientists in developing disease prevention solutions. Cloud computing has emerged as an appealing alternative for constructing health monitoring systems as a result of the development of the Internet or to put it another way, as a result of the availability of the internet. The ECG machine, for example, is a health monitoring device that measures the human body's heartbeat and prints the results on graph paper. The electrocardiogram (ECG) measures the electrical activity of the heart's Cardium. A waveform is created as a result of this action, which is repeated throughout time and symbolizes the heartbeat.  The analysis of the shape is used to identify arrhythmias, and it is the most common way of detecting heart diseases. Here the meaning of arrhythmias
