Information technology Q.1

1. a. LAN-It is a group of computers and other network devices which are connected together. These cover manufacturing plant, classrooms, buildings etc. LAN uses Guided Media. LAN has very high speed mainly due to proximity of computer and network devices. b. Decentralized Computing: Decentralized computing is the allocation of resources, both hardware and software, to each individual workstation, or office location which are capable of running independently of each other. Decentralized systems enable file sharing and all computers can share peripherals such as printers and scanners as well as modems, allowing all the computers in the network to connect to the Internet.

3. FCAPS is the ISO Telecommunications Management Network model and framework for network management. It is an acronym for Fault, Configuration, Accounting, Performance and Security.

(i) Fault Management – A fault is an event that has a negative significance. The goal of fault management is to recognize, isolate, correct and log faults that occur in the network. Most fault management systems poll the managed objects for error conditions and present this information to the network manager. Fault management identifies and isolates network issues; proposes problem resolution; and subsequently logs the issues and associated resolutions.

(ii) Configuration Management – Monitors network and system configuration

information so that the impact on network operations (hardware and software elements) can be tracked and managed. Network changes, additions, and deletions need to be coordinated with the network management personnel.

(iii) Accounting Management – Accounting management is concerned with tracking network utilization information, such that individual users, departments, or business units can be appropriately billed or charged for accounting purposes. For non-billed networks, accounting refers to administration whose primary goal is to administer the set of authorized users by establishing users, passwords, and permissions and to administer the operations of the equipment such as by performing software backup and synchronization.

(iv) Performance Management – Measures and makes network performance data available so that performance can be maintained and acceptable thresholds. It enables the manager to prepare the network for the future, as well as to determine the efficiency of the current network.The network performance addresses the throughput, network response times, packet loss rates, link utilization, percentage utilization, error rates and so forth.

(v) Security Management – Controls access to network resources as established by

organizational security guidelines. Most network management systems address security regarding network hardware such as someone logging into a router. Security management functions include managing network authentication, authorization, and auditing, such that both internal and external users only have access to appropriate network resources,configuration and management of network firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and security policies (such as access lists).

4. The key aspects to be considered in implementing e-commerce are as follows:

• Involvement of stakeholders, key trading partners, and external auditors to obtain insight into the design and deployment of e-commerce solution; • Implementing appropriate policies, standards and guidelines; • Performing cost benefit analysis and risk assessment to ensure value delivery; • Implementing the right level of security across all layers and processes; • Establishing and implementing the right level of baseline (best practice) controls;Integration of e-Commerce with the business process and the physical delivery channels; • Providing adequate user training; and • Performing post implementation review to ensure controls are working as envisaged.

Q.1 Core Banking System (CBS) may be defined as the set of basic software components that manage the services provided by a bank to its customers through its branches (branch network).The absolute bank's branches access applications from centralized data centers. All transactions budge through core systems, which, at an absolute minimum, must remain running and responsive during business hours. Increasingly, these systems are running 24x7 to support Internet banking, global operations, and real time transactions via ATM, Internet, phone, and debit card.The various elements of core banking include making and servicing loans; opening new accounts; processing cash deposits and withdrawals; processing payments and cheques; calculating interest; Customer Relationship Management (CRM) activities; managing customer accounts; establishing criteria for minimum balances, interest rates, number of withdrawals allowed and so on; establishing interest rates; and maintaining records for all the bank’s transactions. Normal core banking functions include deposit accounts, loans, mortgages and payments. Banks make these services available across multiple channels like ATMs, Internet banking, and branches. Examples of major core banking products include Infosys’ Finacle, Nucleus FinnOne and Oracle's Flexcube application (from their acquisition of Indian IT vendor i-flex).

Q.2 Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the vicinity of computer science focusing on creating machines that can fit into place on behaviors that humans regard as intelligent. It is a research field that studies how to comprehend the intelligent human behaviors on a computer. The decisive objective of AI is to make a computer that can discover, sketch, and crack problems in parallel. The subject of artificial intelligence spans a wide horizon dealing with various kinds of knowledge representation schemes, different techniques of intelligent search, various methods for resolving uncertainty of data and knowledge, different schemes for automated machine learning and many others. Expert systems, Pattern Recognition, Natural language processing, and many others are some of the various purposes on which AI may be applied.

Q.4

The ACID Test refers to the following prerequisites for any Transaction Processing System (TPS). • Atomicity: This means that a transaction is either completed in full or not at all.TPS systems ensure that transactions take place in their entirety. • Consistency: TPS systems exist within a set of operating rules or integrity constraints. For Example - If an integrity constraint states that all transactions in a database must have a positive value, any transaction with a negative value would be refused. • Isolation: Transactions must appear to take place in seclusion. For example, the funds cannot be credited to an account before they are debited from another. • Durability: Once transactions are completed they cannot be undone. To ensure this, a log will be created to document all completed transactions.

Q.5 Knowledge Management System (KMS) refer to any kind of IT system that stores and retrieves knowledge, improves collaboration, locates knowledge sources, mines repositories for hidden knowledge, captures and uses knowledge, or in some other way enhances the KM process. Explicit and Tacit are two broad types of knowledge. A Knowledge discovery in database system is a value – added Intranet with facilities to search and identify captured knowledge or identify experts who have the knowledge. Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining (KDD) fundamentally deals with ways and means of capturing and making obtainable knowledge of the experts to others, in electronic form. KDD systems also assist us establish, contact and communicate with experts (knowledgeable people) on various subjects, surrounded by our organization, or perhaps even outside.
