Explain the difference between a distributed database and distributed processing.

-

  •  In distributed processing, a database’s logical processing is shared among two or more physically independent sites that are connected through a network. For example, the data input/output (I/O), data selection, and data validation might be performed on one computer, and a report based on that data might be created on another computer.
  • A distributed database, on the other hand, stores a logically related database over two or more physically independent sites. The sites are connected via a computer network. In contrast, the distributed processing system uses only a single-site database but shares the processing chores among several sites. In a distributed database system, a database is composed of several parts known as database fragments. The database fragments are located at different sites and can be replicated among various sites. Each database fragment is, in turn, managed by its local database process.
  •  Distributed processing does not require a distributed database, but a distributed database requires distributed processing (each database fragment is managed by its own local database process).
  • Distributed processing may be based on a single database located on a single computer. For the management of distributed data to occur, copies or parts of the database processing functions must be distributed to all data storage sites.
  • Both distributed processing and distributed databases require a network to connect all components.

Explain CORBA architecture briefly.

Image
  ARCHITECTURE OF CORBA The major components that make up the CORBA architecture include the: Interface Definition Language (IDL), Object Request Broker (ORB), The Portable Object Adaptor (POA), Naming Service, and Inter-ORB Protocol (IIOP). Interface Definition languages: CORBA uses the concept of an interface Definition language to implement the services. IDL is a neutral programming language method of defining how a service is implemented. The syntax of this language is independent of any programming language. IDL is used to define an interface, which describes the methods that are available and the parameters that are required when a call is made for a remote object. Object Request Broker (ORB): The foundation of CORBA architecture is based on the Object Request Broker (ORB). The ORB is prime mechanism that acts as a middleware between the client and the server. It provides a heterogeneous environment in which a client can remotely communicate with the server irrespective of t...

Data Mining Architecture The process of extracting information to identify patterns, trends, and useful data that would allow the business to take the data-driven decision from huge sets of data is called Data Mining. The data mining process involves several components, and these components constitute a data mining system architecture. The significant components of data mining systems are a data source, data mining engine, data warehouse server, the pattern evaluation module, graphical user interface, and knowledge base. The major component of a data mining system architecture is as follows:- Database, Data Warehouse, or Other Information Repository:  This is one or a set of databases, data warehouses, spreadsheets, or other kinds of information repositories. Data cleaning and data integration techniques may be performed on the data. Database or Data Warehouse Server: It fetches the data as per the users’ requirement which one needs for data mining task. Knowledge Base:  ...

Describe management functions and explain how each of them is interrelated./ Four key functions (planning, organizing, directing and controlling) make up the process of management. It is possible that the controlling function can affect the organizing function and organizing function can affect the leading functions? Explain.

   Functions/Process of Management The management system is a system or process of interrelated and sequential components or function of management. The function of management have been specified and defined variously by different authors. Fayol has specified planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling as the function of management. Likewise, according to Koontz and O'donnell, planning, organizing, developing, coordinating and staffing as the functions of management. According to Linder Urbick, forecasting, planning, organizing, commanding, coordinating and controlling as the function of management. Luther Gulick has summarized the function of management as POSDCORB where P = Planning, O = Organizing, S = CO = Coordinating, R = Reporting and B = Staffing, D = Directing, Budgeting. In general, the following are the functions of management. 1. Planning Planning is the basic function of management. It is outlining the future course of action and decides in adva...
