 FEATURES OF LEADERSHIP

Leadership has the following common features:

1. Leaders and Followers: Leadership is the essence of the relationship between leaders and followers. Managers or supervisors who influence the subordinates are leaders whereas those who follow or obey the order, command, or direction of leaders are followers. There must be followers for an individual to be a leader. No one can be a leader without having followers.

2 Ability to influence: Leadership is the ability to influence the behavior and efforts of followers. Leaders by position cannot be effective if they cannot influence their subordinates. Here, influencing people means making them ready to obey the order, instructions, and directions without delay. Leaders influence the employee's behavior through power relations, motivation, role modeling, etc.

 3. Common objectives: Leaders and followers should have common objectives and goals i.e. the organizational goal. They must be guided by the organizational objectives. Leaders must be able to concentrate all the subordinates to devote their efforts to achieve those common goals. It is the special ability of leaders that they can inspire the employees to subordinate their goals to organizational goals.

4. Regular process: Leadership is a continuous and ongoing process that follows regular and extended communication between the leader and the followers. Leaders must be skilled, imaginative, and constructive. For this, they should study regularly in order to update their skills. Followers should provide constructive suggestions to their leaders. Leaders should be dynamic so that leader incorporates the environmental changes in leadership style and approaches.

 5. Unequal distribution of authority: There is an unequal authority distribution between leaders and their followers. A leader can direct the activities of followers but followers should obey the leader's direction. By principle, leaders hold the maximum authority of directing and commanding their subordinates. It is not possible for subordinates to direct and command their leaders.

 6. Situational activity: Leadership cannot be identical in all situations and in all organizations. A particular style of leadership may be successful in one situation but may not be suitable in another situation. So, leadership styles need to be changed according to context or situation. Successful leaders analyze the situation, organizational culture, and workforce dynamics and choose the appropriate leadership style.

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

Describe how cloud computing technology can be applied to support remote ECG monitoring.

  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
