CS 615 assignments Solution

People are managed through an organizational structure. This hierarchical structure is based on the four cornerstones of management:

– Delegation

– Authority

– Responsibility

– Supervision.

Delegation bestows authority, and authority produces (and requires) responsibility. Both authority and responsibility require supervision, and effective supervision requires a suitable organizational structure:

Organization as a System

It helps to think of organizations are systems.

Simply put, a system is an organized collection of parts that are highly integrated in order to accomplish an overall goal. (Page 194)

Systems have inputs, processes, outputs and outcomes. To explain, inputs to the system include resources such as raw materials, money, technologies and people.

These inputs go through a process where they're aligned, moved along and carefully coordinated, ultimately to achieve the goals set for the system. Outputs are tangible results produced by processes in the system, such as products or services for consumers.

The organization is depicted by its organizational charts, job descriptions, marketing materials, etc.

The organizational system is also maintained or controlled by policies and procedures, budgets, information management systems, quality management systems, performance review systems, etc.

Structural Dimensions

The organization's structure, or design, is the overall arrangement of the organization's various roles, processes and their relationships in the organization.

The design of an organization is a means to accomplishing the organization's overall goal - the structure is not an end in itself.

In systems theory terms, the design ensures that the appropriate inputs go through the necessary processes to produce the required outputs to produce the intended outcomes.

􀂃 Centralization -the extent to which functions are dispersed in the organization, either in terms of integration with other functions or geographically

􀂃 Formalization - regarding the extent of policies and procedures in the organization

􀂃 Hierarchy - regarding the extent and configuration of levels in the structure

􀂃 Routinization - regarding the extent that organizational processes are standardized

􀂃 Specialization - regarding the extent to which activities are refined

􀂃 Training - regarding the extent of activities to equip organization members with knowledge and skills to carry out their roles.

– In House vs. Consultants

– Derivatives of existing (i.e. use existing object model)

– Architectural Layout – Layers

8. Communications management plan

A communications management plan is a document that provides:

• A collection and filing structure that details what methods will be used to gather and store various types of information. Procedures should also cover collecting and disseminating updates and corrections to previously distributed material.

• A distribution structure that, details to whom information (status reports, data, schedule, technical documentation, etc.) will flow, and what methods (written reports, meetings, etc.) will be used to distribute various types of information. This structure must be compatible with the responsibilities and reporting relationships described by the project organization chart.

• A description of the information to be distributed, including format, content, level of detail, and conventions/definitions to be used.

• Production schedules showing when each type of communication will be produced.

• Methods for accessing information between scheduled communications.

• A method for updating and refining the communications management plan as the project progresses and develops. The communications management plan may be formal or informal, highly detailed or broadly framed, based on the needs of the project. It is a subsidiary component of the overall project plan.

Question: [marks 10+10]

Consider a community website e.g. Facebook.com, which the people from different communities can use to share their status, videos, images, articles etc. with each other.

To use the website a person must be registered member, and for registration the user must have an email address on Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail (But no other domain).

After registration the person becomes the member of the community, and can share anything with his/her friends.

However to make a friend he/she can have two options:

1) He/she can use the search service provided by the website to search friends (already members of the site), to which he sends the “friend request”, after that person (to whom the request was sent) accepts the request, they both become friends and can share anything with each other.

2) Secondly he/she can select the option “Find friends using email contacts”. In this case the system fetches the contact list from his email account; requests are automatically sent to the persons that are already added in his/her email contacts (and are also the member of this community website). When all these members accept requests they become friends of the requester and can share anything with him/her.

Keeping in mind the Krutchen’s 4+1 architectural view model, develop diagrams to represent (at least one diagram for each):

1) Implementation view (Also called Development View or Code view)

2) Deployment View (Also called Physical view)

Note: you can use any notations and any software to draw the diagrams. For further concepts about Architectural Views, please revise Lecture no. 23

Deployment View:

The deployment view / physical view describe how the system is deployed in terms of its hardware resources [1]

Here in above diagram:

Client PC: is the any client system (desktop PC or mobile even) with a browser (client) application running on it. Members login to the registration server by providing their login information.

Registration Server: Registration server is the central database server (may be a mainframe system) with multiple processes (e.g. login validation and authentication process, contents management process, security related processes, external interface managers etc. etc.), running on it for overall operational site.

External / Remote Server: May be external server e.g. a Google server or Hotmail server etc. which is contacted by the internal (website registration server) through secure communication and interfaces to get needed information e.g. contact lists etc.

Implementation / Code View:

The code view is what a programmer sees. Thus the components of this view are things like classes, objects, procedures, and functions and their abstraction/composition into things like subsystems, layers and modules [1]. For the sake of simplicity we present a top level view of system in terms of main components and sub-components (up to first level only)

Mgt503 Assignment No. 2 fall 2011 Dec 2011 Solution

2011-12-27T17:19:00.000+05:00

Questions:

1. Based on your understanding and knowledge of the characteristics of well-designed goals, you are required to briefly state what is the problem with the objectives that have been set for the development team?

Solutions:

Well-designed goals are those that are clear as to a time frame, Challenging but attainable and Communicated to all organizational members.

Goals should reflect what the mission statement says.

Goals should be written in terms of outcomes and feedback may not give true picture of the outcomes.

As company develops application on the basis of customer feedback and requirements after each delivery, the customer’s feedback is taken as a measure of performance of the development team so this thought should be changed. Management should consider its time of proper inventory production and should not rely only on customer’s feedback as customer requirements are not clear and there is uncertainty about requirements and, and the team required more time to clarify necessary issues.

Management didn’t consider its time frame and gave priority to customer’s feedback which may not be the proper controller of the production and also the customer’s requirement is not constant and it changes with the change of trends in the society.

2. Give two suggestions for how this issue can be resolved? Provide proper reasoning in favor of your suggestions.

Suggestion 1:

As feedback, quantified as the level of customer satisfaction, is tied to the development team’s pay for performance system and in case of low returns employees may not be compensated which can significantly harm or lower the level of satisfaction of employees which make the situation more worsen.

Management should change its compensation program on temporary basis and shouldn’t confine it to the pay for performance system in order to keep employee’s morale high and to decrease turnover ratio.

Suggestion 2:

The greater the environmental uncertainty, the more plans should be directional and emphasis placed on the short term. Goals must be clear keeping in mind the mission of the company.

1) When uncertainty is high, plans should be specific, but flexible.

2) Managers must be prepared to rework and amend plans, or even to abandon their plans Management should consider short-term efficiency and try to manage its workforce as high as possible. Management should re-design its goals considering its short-term profitability.

Question No: 41 (Marks: 5)

Why some multinational corporations feel that globalization is not a good option?

The western worlds call these the disadvantages of Globalization, if an organization

decides to pack up its business and leave a host company.

Disadvantages to Globalization

The common disadvantages which lead to a MNC forgoing globalization includes.

 Handing over proprietary Technology to host countries.

 Political risks.

 Poor Employee (Managers and worker) skills.

 Slow customer response time.

 Effective communication between interfaces difficult

Managing Global Operations

When organizations become global they often end up paying a heavy price in terms of managing complex managerial issues and challenges.

 Host country languages

 Host Country Norms and Customs.

 Workforce management

 Unfamiliar laws and regulations.

 Unexpected Cost mix.

Question No: 42 (Marks: 5)

Do you perceive that operation management and operation research are the same concepts?

NO both concepts are different from each other; we can elaborate both in the following manner:

Operation Management:

Operations management is an area of management concerned with overseeing, designing, and redesigning business operations in

the production of goods and/or services. It involves the responsibility of ensuring that business operations are efficient in

terms of using as little resources as needed, and effective in terms of meeting customer requirements. It is concerned with

managing the process that converts inputs (in the forms of materials, labor, and energy) into outputs (in the form of goods

and/or services).

The relationship of operations management to senior management in commercial contexts can be compared to the relationship of

line officers to the highest-level senior officers in military science. The highest-level officers shape the strategy and

revise it over time, while the line officers make tactical decisions in support of carrying out the strategy.

Operation Research:

Operations research (also referred to as decision science or management science) is an interdisciplinary mathematical science

that focuses on the effective use of technology by organizations. In contrast, many other science & engineering disciplines

focus on technology giving secondary considerations to its use.

Employing techniques from other mathematical sciences — such as mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, and mathematical

optimization — operations research arrives at optimal or near-optimal solutions to complex decision-making problems.

Because of its emphasis on human-technology interaction and because of its focus on practical applications, operations

research has overlap with other disciplines, notably industrial engineering and management science, and draws on psychology

and organization science. Operations Research is often concerned with determining the maximum (of profit, performance, or

yield) or minimum (of loss, risk, or cost) of some real-world objective.

Question No: 29 (Marks: 3)

Write down at least three ways of improving reliability of a system.

We should develop the ability to understand the importance of reliability and at

the same time identify the ways in which Reliability can be improved in the following

generic ways.

1. Component design: Parts of a car

2. Production/assembly techniques: No reworks also fool proof assembly.

3. Testing: for trouble free final product

4. Redundancy/backups: not possible all the time but common remedy.

5. Preventive maintenance procedures

6. User education (operating manuals)

7. System design (we will discuss in later chapters, a senior management issue, but

indicative that reliability is always considered VIP)

8. Research & Development (R&D) : Organized efforts to increase scientific

knowledge or product innovation & may involve:

Question No: 30 (Marks: 3)

What qualities does a successful job design contain?

A successful Job Design must have the following qualities

1. Carried out by experienced personnel who have the necessary training and

background.

2. Consistent with the goals of the organization.

3. in documented form.

4. Understood and agreed by both management and employees.

5. Shared with the new employees.

6. Factors that affect Job Design

Question No: 32 (Marks: 5)

"Standardization plays an important role in product design". How will you describe

this role?

Standardization is the extent to which there is an absence of variety in a product,

service or process. Standardized products are immediately available to customers. You

go to a market and request for a charger for your cellular phone, the shopkeeper would

ask for the model, make and deliver you as special product which is made by your cell

phone company or by an independent manufacturer, who provides a standardized

compatible model.

Question No: 29 (Marks: 3)

What are the reasons that support the use of process layout?

1. Product layouts are used to achieve a smooth and rapid flow of large volumes of goods

and customers through a system.

2. The work is divided into a series of standardized tasks, permitting specialization of

both labor and equipment.

3. The large volumes handled by these systems make it pertinent and necessary to

invest in equipment and job design.

4. Layouts should be arranged to make the best use of technological processing abilities

to fulfill the requirements of both product and services.

5. In manufacturing environments the lines are referred to as production lines or assembly

lines, depending on the type of activity involved.

6. In services side, the word line may or may not be used like Healthcare/Hospital

Services line, Carwash (absence of word line here) or Cafeteria Line.

7. Without standardization, many of the benefits of the repetitive processing are lost.

8. Product Layouts achieve a high degree of labor and equipment utilization, which tends

to offset their high equipment costs.

9. Operations are so closely tied up that a mechanical failure or high absenteeism (rains)

would increase vulnerability of the Systems.

10. We can prevent breakdowns if we religiously follow preventive maintenance

schedules, inspection and replacement of worn parts.

Question No: 30 (Marks: 3)

Suppose you are the operations manager of a manufacturing firm, why would you

perceive concurrent engineering as a suitable approach with reference to product

design?

Concurrent Engineering:

Concurrent engineering is the bringing together of engineering design and

manufacturing personnel early in the design phase.

Why Suitable Approach to product Design:

 Manufacturing Personnel are able to identify production capabilities and

capacities .They have thus the opportunity to inform the design group about the

suitability of certain materials on the flipsides the designer would know the

suitability of certain designs in aiding in cost reduction and quality improvement

in production/assembly process.

 Early opportunities for design or procurement of critical tooling, some of which

might have long lead times. This can result in a major shortening of the product

development process, which should be a key competitive advantage.

 Early consideration of the Technical Feasibility of a particular design or a portion

of a design. Again this can avoid serious problems during production. The

emphasis can be on problem resolution instead of conflict resolution.

Question No: 31 (Marks: 5)

Which process system would you suggest for the following business/industry?

French restaurants (Job Shop Process)

Heavy equipment (Batch Flow Process)

Sugar refinery (Continuous Flow Process)

Automobile assembly (Product layout)

Commercial printer (Job Shop Process)

Question No: 32 (Marks: 5)

In some organizations capacity planning takes place very regularly and in some it

takes place seldom. What are the factors that influence the frequency of capacity

planning?

FACTORS INFLUENCE THE FREQUENCY OF CAPACITY PLANNING:

1. Capacity strategy for long-term demand which focus on demand patterns and takes into

account growth rate and variability

2. Facilities that focus on cost of building and operating

3. Technological changes relate to rate and direction of technology changes

4. Behavior of competitors

5. Availability of capital and other inputs

Question No: 29 (Marks: 3)

Write down the characteristics of well designed service system?

1. A well designed system should be well versed with organization vision & mission.

2. It should cost effective

3. User friendly & sustainable.

4. It should have ability to make effective link between front & backend operations.

5. Accommodation of variable changes in future.

6. Simple requirements & handling few customer at every customer centre.

Question No: 30 (Marks: 3)

What qualities does a successful job design contain?

A successful job design contains following qualities.

1. Carried out by experience personal who have necessary training & background.

2. Consistent with goals of organization

3. Shared with new employees

4. In documented Form

5. Understood & agreed by both management & employees

6. Factors that affect job design.

Question No: 31 (Marks: 5)

Suppose you want to estimate the time required to perform a certain task by the two

employees. One employee's study yielded a mean of 6.4 minutes and standard

deviation of 2.1 minutes with 95% confidence Interval. Other employee's study

yielded a mean of 2.1 minutes and standard deviation of 6.4 minutes with confidence

interval of 95%. Now how many observations you will need if desired maximum

error is 10% of sample mean? (z= 1.96) Do both the employees have same number

of observations?

Employee # 1:

Mean time = X = 6.4mints

Standard Deviation = S = 2.1mint.

z = 1.96

Error = A = 10% = 0.1

n = (zs/ax) 2

= [(1.96) (2.1)/ (0.1) (6.4)] 2

= [4.116/0.64]2

= (6.43125)2

= 41.36

41 observations

Employee # 2:

Mean time = X = 2.1mints

Standard Deviation = S = 6.4mint.

z = 1.96

Error = A = 10% = 0.1

2. Poorly skilled workers may not maintain equipment or quality of output of service.

3. Fairly inflexible to changes in volume.

4. Highly susceptible to shutdowns.

5. Needs preventive maintenance.

6. Individual incentive plans are impractical

Question No: 41 (Marks: 5)

Operations management does not work in isolation within an organization. How

would you relate marketing, finance and other functions to operations function?

Functions with in an Organization

 The Operations function consists of all activities that are directly related to

production of a good or service.

 Operations function exist in services like healthcare, Police, Traffic,

transportation, consultancy, food handling, restaurants etc.

 Operations function forms the core of all businesses.

Operations and Marketing

 Value addition refers to conversion of raw materials to finished goods or services.

 Value added often refers to the difference between the cost of the raw material

and the price of the finished good.

 The revenues from selling goods is used in betterment of existing product or

service or R &D, investment in new facilities and equipments

 Weeding out or eliminating non value adding operations. E.g. Storage of goods

which have been produced ahead of scheduled production, increases storage and

inventory costs. reducing storage cost would reduce transformation cost and thus

increase value addition

 Marketing relates to selling of a good or service of the organization through

advertising and pricing decisions.

 Marketing department assesses the customer's needs and communicate it to the

operations people on short term and design people on the long term basis.

 Operations people need information about demand over a short range in order

to purchase raw materials or manage inventory or schedule production

plan where as the design people need information to redesign or simply

sign new products or services.

 Marketing provides valuable information about the competitors customers needs

and communicate it to the operations people on short term and design people on

the long term basis.

Finance

 The finance function focuses on activities that relate to securing resources at

favorable prices and then allocating these resources through out the organization.

 Finance and Operation Personnel exchange information and expertise in the

following way

 Budgets

 Economic analysis of investment proposal

 Provision of funds

Question No: 31 (Marks: 5)

Suppose you are the operations manager of ABC Corporation. To develop

competence in business operations, you have to decide either to rely on the facilities

available in-house or outsource.What are some of the factors you would base the

decision on?

Following are the factors which are available to us in order to decide whether to develop

a competence in house or outsource competent organization to supply that product,

service or particular expertise.

1. Available capacity if an organization has the equipment, necessary skills and

time, it often makes sense to produce an item or perform a service in house. The

additional costs would be relatively small compared with those required to buy

items or subcontract them.

2. Expertise. If a firm lacks the expertise to do a job satisfactorily, buying might be

a reasonable alternative.

3. Quality considerations. Firms that specialize can usually offer higher quality

than an organization can attain itself. Conversely, special quality requirements or

the ability to closely monitor quality may cause an organization to perform a job

itself.

4. Nature of demand. When demand for an item is high and steady, the

organization is often better off doing the work itself. However, wide fluctuations

in demand or small orders are usually better handled by specialists, who are able

to combine orders from multiple sources, which results in higher volume and tend

to offset individual buyer fluctuation.

5. Cost. Any cost savings achieved from buying or making must be weighed against

the preceding factors. Cost savings might come from the item itself or from

transportation cost savings.

6. Risk. Outsourcing or buying the services carries risk; often companies retain

flexibility by carrying out certain critical activities in house and repetitive menial

activities through outsourcing.

Question No: 41 (Marks: 5)

Given the table:

Alternatives Possible future demand

Low (Rs.) High (Rs.)

Small facility 10,000 8,000

Medium facility 12,000 20,000

Large facility 18,000 15,000

Calculate Maximax, Laplace and Minimax regret?

Maximax:

Choose the Best maximum Value for MAXIMAX approach which is 20,000

Laplace:

Small facility = 10000+8000=18000/2 =9000

Medium facility = 12000+20000 = 32000/2 = 16000

Large facility = 18000+15000 = 33000/2= 16500

So the Best Possible average is 16500 Laplace.

Minimax:

The minimum Amount is Rs. 8000

Short Question 5

What are architectural designs Process, explain briefly?

System structuring: -

System structuring is concerned with decomposing the system into interacting sub-systems. The system is decomposed into

several principal sub-systems and communications between these sub-systems are identified

Control modeling:- Control modeling establishes a model of the control relationships between the different parts of the

system.

Modular decomposition:- During this activity, the identified sub-systems are decomposed into modules. This design process is

further elaborated in the following section where architectural views are discussed.

What is action-oriented approach for Software Design?

Answer:

In the case of action-oriented approach, data is decomposed according to functionality requirements. That is, decomposition

revolves around function. In the OO approach, decomposition of a problem revolves around data. Action-oriented paradigm

focuses only on the functionality of a system and typically ignores the data until it is required. Object- oriented paradigm

focuses both on the functionality and the data at the same time. The basic difference between these two is decentralized

control mechanism versus centralized control mechanism respectively. Decentralization gives OO the ability to handle

essential complexity better than action-oriented approach.

Define cohesion.

Answer:

Cohesion is an internal property of a module. Cohesion describes the intra-component linkages while couple shows the inter-

component linkages. Cohesion measures the independence of a module.

What is OOP

Answer:

Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming language model organized around "objects" rather than "actions" and data

rather than logic. Historically, a program has been viewed as a logical procedure that takes input data, processes it, and

produces output data.

What is the difference between Aggregation and Association?

Answer:-

As compared to association, aggregation implies a tighter coupling between the two objects which are involved in this

relationship. Therefore, one way to differentiate between aggregation and association is that if the two objects are tightly

coupled, that is, if they cannot exist independently, it is an aggregation, and if they are usually considered as

independent, it is an association.

*Cruise missile **scenario better fire which kind of design parameters are used for better work?***

In some software the *efficiency* is more important and desirable. For example if we talk about a cruise missile or a nuclear

reactor controller that are droved by the software systems then performance and reliability is far more important than the

cost-effectiveness and user-friendliness. In these cases if your software does not react within a certain amount of time

then it may result in the disaster like Chernobyl accident.

*After the analyzing you consider that the **cost and efficiency conflict **of a software then what you suggest to tackle

this situation? Give three best ways?***

Law of diminishing returns shall be adopted.

*Write three **types of messages **in sequence diagrams: 21-lec***

Sequence diagrams can depict many different types of messages. These are: synchronous or simple, asynchronous, create, and

destroy. The following diagram shows the notation and types of arrows used for these different message types.

Question No: 11 (Marks: 2)

*Suppose you are working as a software engineer involved in the development of an e-commerce website.** What are the 2 most

important characteristics your software must have? *

Answer:- (Software engineering ---Page 797 )

Two most important characteristics are that software should be reliable and useable.

Then security is also concern

*Papers Number 02***

Question No: 3 ( Marks: -- )

*HOW DO YOU DETERMINE THAT AN OBJECTIVE BELONGS TO CERTAIN CLASS?** *

Answer:- (Page 85)

The basic unit of object oriented design is an object. An object can be defined as a tangible entity that exhibits some well

defined behavior. The structure and behavior of similar objects are defined in their common class. A class specifies an

interface and defines an implementation.

*What is the difference between Aggregation and Association?** *

Answer:- (Page 87)

As compared to association, aggregation implies a tighter coupling between the two objects which are involved in this

relationship. Therefore, one way to differentiate between aggregation and association is that if the two objects are tightly

coupled, that is, if they cannot exist independently, it is an aggregation, and if they are usually considered as

independent, it is an association.

*Q2) What is meant by"**System's Static **View"?***

*Relationship Among Objects***

The object model presents a static view of the system and illustrates how different objects collaborate with one another

through patterns of interaction. Inheritance, association and aggregation are the three inter-object relationships specified

by the object model.

Inheritance defines a "kind of" hierarchy among classes. By inheritance, we specify generalization/specialization

relationship among objects. In this relationship, a class (called the subclass) shares the structure and behavior defined in

another class (called the superclass). A subclass augments or redefines the existing structure and behavior of its

superclass. By classifying objects into groups of related abstractions, we come to explicitly distinguish the common and

distinct properties of different objects, which further help us to master their inherent complexity. Identifying the

hierarchy within a complex system requires the discovery of patterns among many objects.

In an association relationship, when object A "uses" object B, then A may send messages to B. The relationship defines

visibility among objects.

The aggregation relationship defines part-of structure among objects. When object A is part of the state of object B, A is

said to be contained by B. There are some tradeoffs between aggregation and association relationships. Aggregation reduces

the number of objects that must be visible at the level of enclosing objects and may lead to undesirable tighter coupling

among objects.

*Differentiate between Association and Aggregation ?***

*Association and Aggregation - Some basic differences***

Objects do not exist in isolation. They rather collaborate with one another in many different ways to achieve an overall

goal. The different types of relationships in which these objects are involved include association, aggregation, and

inheritance. Briefly, inheritance denotes a "kind of" relationship, aggregation denotes a "part of" relationship, and

association denotes some semantic connection among otherwise unrelated classes.

Any further elaboration on inheritance relationship is beyond the scope of this discussion and therefore we shall concentrate

on agrregation and association relationships only.

As mentioned earlier, aggregation is the "part-whole" or "a-part-of" relationship in which objects representing the

components of something are encapsulated within an object representing the entire assembly. In other words, the whole is

meaningless without its parts and the part cannot exist without its container or assembly.

*What is behavior driven perceptive of an objective?** *

Answer:- (Page 85)

Behavior is how an object acts and reacts in terms of its state changes and message passing. The behavior of an object is

completely defined by its actions. A message is some action that one object performs upon another in order to elicit a

reaction. The operations that clients may perform upon an object are called methods.

*What is textual analysis?** *

*Object-Oriented Analysis using Abbot's Textual Analysis***

The first object-orientation technique that we will study is one of the oldest techniques to identify objects and their

relationships. This technique is called *Textual Analysis*. It was initially developed by *Abbot * and then extended by

*Graham and others.* In this technique different parts of speech are identified within the text of the specification and

these parts are modeled using different components.

*Q5) What is **Software Architecture** **?***

Answer:- (Page 116)

Architecture is the organizational structure of a system. Architecture can be recursively decomposed into parts that interact

through interfaces, relationships that connect parts, and constraints for assembling parts. Parts that interact through

interfaces include classes, components and subsystems.

What do we mean by software architecture?

Unfortunately, there is yet no single universally accepted definition. Nor is there a shortage of proposed definition

candidates.

The term is interpreted and defined in many different ways. At the essence of all the discussion about software architecture,

however, is a focus on reasoning about the structural issues of a system. And although architecture is sometimes used to mean

a certain architectural style, such as client-server, and sometimes used to refer to a field of study, it is most often used

to describe structural aspects of a particular system.

Before looking at the definitions for the software architecture, it is important to understand how a software system is

defined. It is important because many definitions of software architecture make a reference to software systems.

*According to UML 1.3,* a system is a collection of connected units that are organized to accomplish a specific purpose. A

system can be described by one or more models, possibly from different viewpoints. IEEE Std. 610.12-1990 defines a system as

a collection of components organized to accomplish a specific function or set of functions.

That is, a system is defined as an organized set of connected components to accomplish the specified tasks.

Let us now look at some of the software architecture definitions from some of the most influential writers and groups in the

field.

*UML 1.3:***

Architecture is the organizational structure of a system. An architecture can be recursively decomposed into parts that

interact through interfaces, relationships that connect parts, and constraints for assembling parts. Parts that interact

through interfaces include classes, components and subsystems.

*IEEE Glossary***

Architectural design: The process of defining a collection of hardware and software components and their interfaces to

establish the framework for the development of a computer system

*Q6) What is the **Cardinality **of Objective**?***

Answer :- (Software engineering ---Page 334 )

*Cardinality.* The data model must be capable of representing the number of occurrences Objects in a given relationship.

Tillmann [TIL93] defines the cardinality of an object/relationship pair in the following manner:

*One-to-one (l:l)*—One occurrence of [object] 'A' can relate to one and only one occurrence of [object] 'B,' and an

occurrence of 'B' can relate to only one occurrence of 'A.'

*One-to-many (l:N)—*One occurrence of [object] 'A' can relate to one or many occurrences of [object]'B,' but an occurrence of

'B' can relate to only one occurrence of 'A.' *For example, a mother can have many children, but a child can have only one

mother.*

*Many-to-many (M:N)—*An occurrence of [object] 'A' can relate to one or more occurrences of 'B,' while an occurrence of 'B'

can relate to one or more occurrences of 'A.' *For example, an uncle can have many nephews, while a nephew can have many

uncles.*

*Abstraction and encapsulation***

Abstraction and encapsulation are complementary concepts.

*Abstraction* provides the outside view to the client and encapsulation prevents clients from seeing its inside view. For

abstraction to work, implementation must be encapsulated.

*Encapsulation* hides the details of the implementation of an object. Intelligent encapsulation localizes design decisions

that are likely to change. The ability to change the representation of an object without disturbing any of its clients is the

essential benefit of encapsulation.

*Papers Number 03***

*Q1.Is the design of software architecture a iterative process? ( Marks 2)***

*Answer:* Just like any other design activity, design of software architecture is a creative and iterative process. This

involves performing a number of activities, not necessarily in any particular order or sequence. These include system

structuring, control modeling, and modular decomposition.

*What is textual analysis?** *

*Answer:*

*Object-Oriented Analysis using Abbot's Textual Analysis***

The first object-orientation technique that we will study is one of the oldest techniques to identify objects and their

relationships. This technique is called *Textual Analysis*. It was initially developed by *Abbot * and then extended by

*Graham and others.* In this technique different parts of speech are identified within the text of the specification and

these parts are modeled using different components. The following table shows this scheme.

*Q6. define aggregate and Narate the 2 examples of agreegate in real Life? ( Marks 5)***

*Answer:*

As mentioned earlier, aggregation is the "part-whole" or "a-part-of" relationship in which objects representing the

components of something are encapsulated within an object representing the entire assembly. In other words, the whole is

meaningless without its parts and the part cannot exist without its container or assembly.
