A)
ACID (an acronymn for Atomicity Consistency Isolation Durability) is a concept that Database Professionals generally look for when evaluating databases and application architectures. For a reliable database all this four attributes should be achieved.

Atomicity is an all-or-none proposition.

Consistency guarantees that a transaction never leaves your database in a half-finished state.

Isolation keeps transactions separated from each other until they’re finished.

Durability guarantees that the database will keep track of pending changes in such a way that the server can recover from an abnormal termination.

Tutorial 4(B) – 1st OCT. 201

A)
Dedicate Line- A dedicated line is a communications cable or other facility dedicated to a specific application, in contrast with a shared resource such as the telephone network or the Internet.
In practice, such services may not be provided by a single, discrete, end-to-end cable, but they do provide guarantees of constant bandwidth availability and near-constant latency, properties that cannot be guaranteed for more public systems.

ISDN Line- Integrated Services for Digital Network (ISDN) is a set of communication standards for simultaneous digital transmission of voice, video, data, and other network services over the traditional circuits of the public switched telephone network. ISDN is a circuit-switched telephone network system, which also provides access to packet switched networks, designed to allow digital transmission of voice and data over ordinary telephone copper wires, resulting in potentially better voice quality than an analog phone can provide.

DSL- Digital subscriber line (DSL, originally digital subscriber loop) is a family of technologies that provide Internet access by transmitting digital data over the wires of a local telephone network. In telecommunications marketing, the term DSL is widely understood to mean asymmetric digital subscriber line (ADSL), the most commonly installed DSL technology.

Fiber to the premise (FTTP)- Fiber-To-The-Premises (FTTP) is a technology for providing Internet access by running fiber optic cable directly from an Internet Service Provider (ISP) to a user's home or business.

T-carrier lines- T-carrier, sometimes abbreviated as T-CXR, refers to one of several digital transmission systems developed by Bell Labs. T-carriers are used in North America, South Korea, and Kyoto.The first of these was Transmission System 1 (T-1), which Bell Labs introduced in 1962. T-1 greatly increased the number of telephone calls the telephone network was capable of transmitting at one time.

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)- Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is, according to the ATM Forum, "a telecommunications concept defined by ANSI and ITU (formerly CCITT) standards for carriage of a complete range of user traffic, including voice, data, and video signals". ATM was developed to meet the needs of the Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network, as defined in the late 1980s, and designed to unify telecommunication and computer networks.

Tutorial 3(B) – 24th SEPT. 2013

Part 1
1. Cloud storage is a model of networked enterprise storage where data is stored in virtualized pools of storage which are generally hosted by third parties. Hosting companies operate large data centers, and people who require their data to be hosted buy or lease storage capacity from them. The data center operators, in the background, virtualize the resources according to the requirements of the customer and expose them as storage pools, which the customers can themselves use to store files or data objects. Physically, the resource may span across multiple servers and multiple locations. The safety of the files depends upon the hosting companies, and on the applications that leverage the cloud storage.

1.- The surface is divided into micro sized areas known as magnetic domains. Every magnetic domain has a magnetic dipole which has their own field.

- In a hard disk information / data is written on the rotating platters by the read and write heads.

- The write heads read/write by magnetizing the area. It generates a strong magnetic field for this purpose.

- The heads are not in actual contact with the disk they are actually slightly above the magnetic surface of the platter.

- The heads detects the magnetization of the platter right below them. The actuator arm aids the heads in covering the platter area.

(i) Portal- A web portal is most often one specially-designed Web page at a website which brings information together from diverse sources in a uniform way.For example,MSN and Yahoo!.











(ii) New- An online newspaper, also known as a web newspaper, which exists on the World Wide Web or Internet, either separately or as an online version of a printed periodical. For example is Xing Chew and China Press.











(iii) Informational- A major informational site is wikipedia.org, the online encyclopedia. And it is unique, because it allows visitors to contribute and edit articles.For example,Analytical Sciences Digital Library and AIM.











(iv) Business/Marketing- In the days before the Internet, we used the print, radio, and television media to spread the word about our businesses.  With your online brochure or catalog, you can show anyone who looks for and finds your website, photos and descriptions of your products or services. To some this may sound like an Ecommerce Website, but there are many businesses that deal in products or services that are not sellable over the web.For example,Amazon and Espresso.











(v) Blog- A blog (a contraction of the words web log) is a discussion or informational site published on the World Wide Web and consisting of discrete entries ("posts") typically displayed in reverse chronological order (the most recent post appears first). For example, blogger and word press.











(vi) Wiki- A wiki  is usually a web application which allows people to add, modify, or delete content in a collaboration with others. Text is usually written using a simplified markup language or a rich-text editor.While a wiki is a type of content management system, it differs from a blog or most other such systems in that the content is created without any defined owner or leader, and wikis have little implicit structure, allowing structure to emerge according to the needs of the users. For example, Wikipedia and hudong.











(vii) Online Social Network- A social networking service is a platform to build social networks or social relations among people who, for example, share interests, activities, backgrounds, or real-life connections. A social network service consists of a representation of each user (often a profile), his/her social links, and a variety of additional services. Most social network services are web-based and provide means for users to interact over the Internet, such as e-mail and instant messaging. Fro example, Facebook and Twitter.











(viii) Educational- Educaional websites are the sites made for the purpose of education , purpose may vary accordingly it may be to educate them or counsel them. some websites likes facebook provide the facility to make your own page for the institution or wherever you are working for example GSSS Fatehabad is the page having information of its own school for the educational purposes.For example,UCSI University and WorldBook.











(ix) Entertainment- A entertaining website will entertain, rather than provide information that you need or want.For example,Youtube and Starcraft II.











(x) Advocacy- Advocacy is a political process by an individual or group which aims to influence public-policy and resource allocation decisions within political, economic, and social systems and institutions. Advocacy can include many activities that a person or organization undertakes including media campaigns, public speaking, commissioning and publishing research or polls or the filing of an amicus brief. For example,World Advocacy and Greenpeace.











(xi) Web Application- A web-based application is any application that uses a web browser as a client. The term may also mean a computer software application that is coded in a browser-supported programming language (such as JavaScript, combined with a browser-rendered markup language like HTML) and reliant on a common web browser to render the application executable. For example- Flickr and Screenr.











(xii) Content Aggregator- Aggregator refers to a web site or computer software that aggregates a specific type of information from multiple online sources.For example,RRS Reader and Google Reader.











(xiii) Personal- Personal web pages are World Wide Web web pages created by an individual to contain content of a personal nature rather than on behalf of a company, organization or institution.For example,Noah Stokes and Christopher Calicott.
