Question 5Database

Where is data warehousing used?

  • a)Transaction System
  • b)Logical system
  • c)Decision support system (correct answer)
  • d)None
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (c) Decision support system

A data warehouse consolidates historical data from many operational sources into one integrated, read-mostly store designed for query and analysis. Managers and analysts run reports, OLAP and data mining on it to understand trends and make decisions, which is exactly what a decision support system (DSS) does. The warehouse is the data foundation of a DSS / business-intelligence environment.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (a) Transaction System: Day-to-day transactions (orders, payments) run on OLTP databases that handle many small inserts and updates and keep current data. A warehouse is deliberately separated from this workload and is loaded in bulk by ETL.
  • (b) Logical system: Not a recognised category of information system; it does not describe where a warehouse is used.
  • (d) None: Wrong, because (c) is a correct use.

Tip: OLTP runs the business; the data warehouse (OLAP / DSS) helps decide about the business.

Question 15Cloud & Emerging Tech

Cloud Computing architecture is a combination of_____.

  • a)Service-oriented architecture and grid computing
  • b)Utility computing and event-driven architecture.
  • c)Service-oriented architecture and event-driven architecture. (correct answer)
  • d)Virtualization and event-driven architecture.
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (c) Service-oriented architecture and event-driven architecture

In exam material, cloud computing architecture is described as a combination of two design styles:

  • Service-oriented architecture (SOA): applications are built from separate, reusable services that talk to each other over standard interfaces. This is how cloud offerings are packaged and consumed "as a service".
  • Event-driven architecture (EDA): event producers emit events, and consumers react to them through event channels. This lets cloud components respond asynchronously and scale on demand.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (a) Service-oriented architecture and grid computing: grid computing is a forerunner technology (pooling distributed machines for big jobs), not an architectural style paired with SOA.
  • (b) Utility computing and event-driven architecture: utility computing is a billing/business model (pay for what you use), not an architecture.
  • (d) Virtualization and event-driven architecture: virtualization is an enabling technology underneath the cloud, not an architectural style.

Exam note: "SOA + EDA" is the conventional exam answer, not a standards definition. NIST's cloud reference architecture is described instead in terms of five actors: consumer, provider, carrier, auditor and broker.

Tip: Cloud architecture = SOA (services) + EDA (events); grid, utility and virtualization are enabling technologies or models.

Question 18Networking

Which of the following cannot be used as a public IP address?

  • a)17.0.0.1
  • b)168.172.19.34
  • c)172.15.29.63
  • d)192.168.13.18 (correct answer)
Answer and explanation

Correct answer: (d) 192.168.13.18

RFC 1918 sets aside three blocks for private networks. Routes for them are not advertised and packets using them are not forwarded across the Internet, so an address from these blocks cannot be a public address:

  • 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 (10.0.0.0/8)
  • 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 (172.16.0.0/12)
  • 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 (192.168.0.0/16)

192.168.13.18 begins with 192.168, so it lies in 192.168.0.0/16 and is private.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (a) 17.0.0.1: The first octet is 17, which is in none of the private blocks (10.x is the only private /8), so it is a public address.
  • (b) 168.172.19.34: Starts with 168, not 172 or 192.168; the digits look like a private range but the address is public.
  • (c) 172.15.29.63: The private 172 block runs only from 172.16 to 172.31; 172.15 is just outside it, so this is public.

Tip: Private = 10.x.x.x, 172.16–172.31.x.x, 192.168.x.x; watch out for 172.15 and 172.32, which are public.

Written question 3Networking

Suppose that a digitized TV picture is to be transmitted from a source that uses a matrix of 480 times 500 picture elements (pixels), where each pixel can take on one of 32 intensity values. Assume that 30 pictures are sent per second. (This digital source is roughly equivalent to broadcast TV standards that have been adopted.) Find the source rate R (bps).

Written question 4Networking

One of the drawbacks of a small packet size is that a large function of link bandwidth is consumed by overhead bytes. To this end, supposed that the packet consists of P bytes and 5 bytes of header. Consider sending a digitally encoded voice source directly. Suppose the source is encoded a constant rate of 128 kbps. Assume each packet is entirely filled before the source sends the packet into the network. The time required to fill a packet is the packetization delay. Determine the packetization delay for length L = 1500 bytes (roughly corresponding to maximum-sized Ethernet packet).
