Describe the main reasons for the potential advantage for distributed database.

 Distributed database (DDB)

 A distributed database (DDB) is a collection of multiple, logically interrelated databases distributed over a computer network. A distributed database management system (DDBMS) is the software that manages the DDB and provides an access mechanism that makes this distribution transparent to the users. The distributed database (DDB) and distributed database management system (DDBMS) together are called Distributed database systems (DDBS).

The main reasons for the potential advantage of distributed databases. /Distributed database management is basically proposed for various reasons from organizational decentralization and economic processing to greater autonomy. Some of these advantages are as follows:


1. Management of data with different levels of transparency –

Ideally, a database should be distribution transparent in the sense of hiding the details of where each file is physically stored within the system. The following types of transparencies are basically possible in the distributed database system:

Network transparency:

This basically refers to the freedom of the user from the operational details of the network. These are of two types Location and naming transparency.

Replication transparencies:

It basically made users unaware of the existence of copies as we know that copies of data may be stored at multiple sites for better availability performance and reliability.

Fragmentation transparency:

It basically made the user unaware of the existence of fragments it may be the vertical fragment or horizontal fragmentation.

2. Increased Reliability and availability –

Reliability is basically defined as the probability that a system is running at a certain time whereas Availability is defined as the probability that the system is continuously available during a time interval. When the data and DBMS software are distributed over several sites one site may fail while other sites continue to operate and we are not able to only access the data that exist at the failed site and this basically leads to improvement in reliability and availability.


3. Easier Expansion –

In a distributed environment expansion of the system in terms of adding more data, increasing database sizes, adding more data, increasing database sizes, or adding more processors is much easier.


4. Improved Performance –

We can achieve interquery and intraquery parallelism by executing multiple queries at different sites by breaking up a query into a number of subqueries that basically executes in parallel which basically leads to improvement in performance.

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
