Does it make worksheets and workbooks easier to read and follow, or just clutter them up with unnecessary fluff? Have you ever seen or used a worksheet that had too much formatting or was fo

    Advantages and disadvantages of the open source and non-open source approach.

    Open source extends the philosophy of openness from the architecture to the implementation detail. From management issues, system evaluation and assurance angles, discuss (you may use examples to support your arguments) the advantages and disadvantages of the open source and non-open source approach.

    Discrete mathematics

    Define a relation D on the set of all people in the following way: x D y if and only if x = y or x is a descendent of y. Which of the properties does this relation have? For each property, explain why the relation has the property, or give a counterexample. Reflexive Symmetric Transitive Antisymmetric Equivalence relat

Show references. 3. Will the distinction betwee

    advantages for purchasing software packages

    What are some advantages for purchasing software packages versus developing them in the company. What are some positives and negatives with purchasing software packages? If the company purchased custom developed software what are some issues?

    DISCUSSION: Advantage of Service Architecture

    This Discussion will focus on the different levels of abstractions within the service interface layer and the importance of abstraction and role of layering when developing SOA-based IT solutions. At the end of the Discussion, you should be able to draw conclusions on why these abstractions and layering are essential and how the

    Reliability

    Whose job is it to test newly written code? Why? What steps should we take to ensure the reliability of our code? Explain.

    SSL question

    Suppose Alice and Bob are communicating over an SSL session. Suppose an attacker, who does not have any of the shared keys, inserts a bogus TCP segment into a packet stream with correct TCP checksum and sequence numbers (and correct IP addresses and port numbers). Will SSL at the receiving side accept the bogus packet and pass

    Actives nodes, adapter, ethernet

    1. Suppose four active nodes-nodes A, B, C and D-are competing for access to a channel using slotted ALOHA. Assume each node has an infinite number of packets to send. Each node attempts to transmit in each slot with probability p. The first slot is numbered slot 1, the second slot is numbered slot 2, and so on. a. What is t

    Who killed the duke of Densmore?

    I need to find the idea for solving this problem. The shadow of a grisly murder is hanging over the otherwise idyllic coast near Craymouth: carbonized bodies of two men and a crocodile have been found in a tower of Densmore Castle on the Isle of White. All three died a year ago in the explosion of a charge skilfully connected

    Reliability and validity of 'bottom-up' time estimates

    It is often difficult to estimate program design and coding times for certain types of software development projects. In many of those cases, of the approaches to time estimation discussed this week, probably the bottom-up strategy would be the most useful. However, is there any way for the project manager to ensure that the

    Other difficulties with parametric estimation techniques

    A common area of inconsistency with parametric estimation techniques such as COCOMO is due to the fact that quite often task completion times for software development are not additive. For example, if coding up a new module, the time to design, program and unit test the item may be rather high (say a few days). However, addition
