Part B

ASYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATION
Asynchronous communications is the method of communications most widely used for PC communications. Through asynchronous communications, data is transmitted one byte at a time with each byte containing one start bit, eight data bits, and one stop bit, thus yielding a total of ten bits. The asynchronous communication technique is a transmission technique which is most widely used by personal computers to provide connectivity to printers, modems, fax machines, etc.

SYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATION

Through synchronous communications, data is transmitted as frames of large data blocks rather than bulky individual bytes. Advantage of synchronous is that it is more efficient than asynchronous. Some examples are e-mail messages, discussion boards, blogging, and text messaging over cell phones.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SYNCHRONOUS AND

ASYNCHRONOUS COMMUNICATION

It is based on synchronization between the sender and the receiver

This communication doesn't need any synchronization between the sender and the receiver Sender may send the information at anytime without waiting for the receiver to be ready to receive the information in asynch comm there is no need to establish a connection before data transmission

Both must be synchronized before actual communication takes place

in synch comm between two nodes, first connection will be established and the communication will take place

Q3] A) COMPUTER VIRUSES

o A computer virus is a small software program that spreads from one computer to another computer and that interferes with computer operation. A computer virus may corrupt or delete data on a computer, use an e-mail program to spread the virus to other computers, or even delete everything on the hard disk.

TYPES OF COMPUTER VIRUSES

y y y y y y y

Boot sector virus Browser highjacker Direct action viruses File infected viruses Macro viruses Multi partite viruses Resident viruses

Q3]B)DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEMS

A decision support system (DSS) is a computer-based information system that supports business or organizational decisionmaking activities. DSSs serve the management, operations, and planning levels of an organization and help to make decisions, which may be rapidly changing and not easily specified in advance.

Q:3(C) PROTOTYPING APPROACH AND ITS PROS AND CORNS

Prototyping

is the process of building a model of a system. In terms of an information system, prototypes are employed to help system designers build an information system that intuitive and easy to manipulate for end users. Prototyping is an iterative process that is part of the analysis phase of the systems development life cycle.

Pros
Reduces development time. Reduces development costs. Requires user involvement. Developers receive quantifiable user feedback. Facilitates system implementation since users know what to expect. Results in higher user satisfaction. Exposes developers to potential future system enhancements.

Cons
Can lead to insufficient analysis. Users expect the performance of the ultimate system to be the same as the prototype. Developers can become too attached to their prototypes Can cause systems to be left unfinished and/or implemented before they are ready. Sometimes leads to incomplete documentation. If sophisticated software prototypes (4th GL or CASE Tools) are employed, the time saving benefit of prototyping can be lost.

Q:3(D) PUBLIC KEY INFRASTRUCTURE

PKI is a security architecture that has been introduced to provide an increased level of confidence for exchanging information over an increasingly insecure Internet. A PKI including the use of encryption, digital signatures, public keys, private keys, digital certificates, Certificate Authorities, certificate revocation and storage. A PKI infrastructure is expected to offer its users the following benefits: certainty of the quality of information sent and received electronically certainty of the source and destination of that information certainty of the privacy of that information

WHAT DO YOU UNDERSTAND BY E-BUSINESS ?

Electronic

Business is commonly defined as ebusiness is the conduct of business on the internet ,not only buying and selling of goods and services but also servicing customers and collaborating with business partners and conducting electronic transactions within an organization. One of the best examples of e-business is Amazon n e BAY

CONT.
E-business

can be conducted using the web and the internet. Virtual Organization Eg- ebay Click and Mortar Organizations Eg- Walmart E-business covers the entire business process: Electronic purchasing and supply chain management, processing orders electronically which involve online payment via credit cards or debit cards, handling customer service.

E-BUSINESS HELPS WITH REAL LIFE BUSINESS:

Cut

costs and transaction times Save time and money by improving internal and external functions Promote, market and sell around the world around the clock through a website Improve customer support, communication and relationship management Compete globally without setting offices

Q5]IN EXCEL, WHAT IS MEANT BY GOAL SEEK? EG?

Goal Seek is part of a suite of commands sometimes called what-if analysis tools. When you know the desired result of a single formula but not the input value the formula needs to determine the result. When goal seeking, Microsoft Excel varies the value in one specific cell until a formula that's dependent on that cell returns the result you want.

GOAL SEEK
For example, use Goal Seek to change the interest rate in cell B3 incrementally until the payment value in B4 equals $900.00.
