Emotional intelligence was first defined scientifically in 1990 by Mayer and Salovey, building on prior concepts. Goleman later proposed it involves five traits that determine one's EQ. Emotional intelligence involves self and social awareness and management. It is debated whether EQ can be accurately measured, though tests do exist to assess specific skills or provide an overall assessment. While EQ may help predict some life outcomes, it does not determine success on its own, and high IQ individuals like Einstein had low EQ without hindrance. EQ is significant for social and workplace interactions but is not a sole predictor of life outcomes and has limitations as a concept.
This document discusses databases and the evolution from flat files to relational databases. It covers:
1) The limitations of flat files including data duplication, separation of data across files, fixed queries, and proliferation of application programs.
2) The introduction of hierarchical and network databases to try to overcome limitations but these still led to inconsistent and redundant data.
3) An introduction to relational databases which overcome limitations by allowing each record to be of fixed length and each field to contain a single data item. This addresses issues with variable length records in previous approaches.
The document discusses the functions and purposes of translators in computing. It describes:
1) Interpreters and compilers translate programs from high-level languages to machine code. Compilers translate the entire program at once, while interpreters translate instructions one at a time as the program runs.
2) Translation from high-level languages to machine code involves multiple stages including lexical analysis, syntax analysis, code generation, and optimization.
3) Linkers and loaders are used to combine separately compiled modules into a complete executable program by resolving addresses and linking the modules together.
This document discusses common network environments, connectivity, and security issues. It describes how LANs and WANs are organized using different topologies and transmission mediums. It then explains key network components like switches, routers, bridges, and modems - how they connect different types of networks and segments. Finally, it discusses common network environments like the Internet, intranets, and extranets as well as technologies that enable them such as hypertext links, URLs, domain names, and HTML.
The operating system must manage hardware resources, provide an interface between users/software and hardware, and provide services like data security. It schedules programs to make best use of the processor when programs are performing input/output tasks. It uses interrupts to change the normal order of program execution in response to events like I/O device signals. Scheduling aims to maximize system usage, be fair to all programs, and prioritize more important programs when needed.
The document discusses computer architecture and the fetch-execute cycle. It describes the Von Neumann architecture, which uses a single processor that follows a linear sequence of fetching, decoding, and executing instructions. It then explains the fetch-execute cycle in more detail with the steps involved. Finally, it discusses parallel processor systems that can split up the fetching, decoding, and executing stages to improve efficiency.
The document discusses techniques for developing computer systems, including structured systems analysis and design method (SSADM) and data flow diagrams (DFDs). It provides details on the stages of SSADM and the symbols and steps used to develop DFDs. An example of a hotel reservation and payment system is presented as a DFD to illustrate the technique. Project management is also discussed, with an example of building a bungalow broken down into tasks, durations, and dependencies shown in a graph.
The document discusses different ways of representing numerical data in computing systems, including:
1) Binary representation, which converts decimal numbers to binary by repeatedly dividing by column headings and tracking the remainders as 1s and 0s.
2) Negative numbers can be represented using sign-and-magnitude or two's complement methods.
3) Other number systems like octal and hexadecimal are also discussed which use different column headings but the same representation principles.
4) Floating point representation separates a real number into a mantissa and exponent to store fractional numbers more efficiently in binary.
The document discusses how data and databases are valuable to organizations. It provides examples of how stock control systems and sales data can be used to automatically reorder stock. Banks also find customer data valuable for assessing loan risks. Modern communication allows sharing of data worldwide through value added network services and databases. Standards are needed for sharing data accurately between different systems. Computers now aid various forms of communication like voice mail, e-commerce, and video conferencing. The internet allows global communication and advertising. IT training must be continually updated as technology changes, which is altering many work patterns and jobs.
This document discusses different programming paradigms including procedural, object-oriented, and declarative paradigms. It provides examples of code using these paradigms. Specifically, it shows an assembly language program that adds two numbers, a C++ program that calculates the area of a rectangle, and Prolog queries to retrieve information from a database about people's genders and family relationships. It also discusses how parameters are used to pass values to functions in Visual Basic.
This document discusses real-time systems and simulation. It defines a real-time system as one that can react quickly enough to input data to affect the real world. Real-time applications include airline booking systems and nuclear reactor controls. Sensors measure physical quantities and transmit data to processors, while actuators accept signals from processors and initiate physical movements. Simulations allow computers to model real-world systems and scenarios through calculations, enabling testing without real-world risks or costs. Simulations have limitations in predicting truly random or complex human events. Parallel processing is needed for simulations involving vast data, complex relationships, and immense calculations.
This document is an exam for an Advanced Subsidiary Level computing exam. It contains 9 questions testing knowledge of topics like memory addressing, data structures, networks, and software development processes. The exam is 2 hours and contains multiple choice, short answer, and longer explanatory questions.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

DLAU und die Lizenzen nach dem CCB- und CCX-Modell sind für viele in der HCL-Community seit letztem Jahr ein heißes Thema. Als Notes- oder Domino-Kunde haben Sie vielleicht mit unerwartet hohen Benutzerzahlen und Lizenzgebühren zu kämpfen. Sie fragen sich vielleicht, wie diese neue Art der Lizenzierung funktioniert und welchen Nutzen sie Ihnen bringt. Vor allem wollen Sie sicherlich Ihr Budget einhalten und Kosten sparen, wo immer möglich. Das verstehen wir und wir möchten Ihnen dabei helfen!
Wir erklären Ihnen, wie Sie häufige Konfigurationsprobleme lösen können, die dazu führen können, dass mehr Benutzer gezählt werden als nötig, und wie Sie überflüssige oder ungenutzte Konten identifizieren und entfernen können, um Geld zu sparen. Es gibt auch einige Ansätze, die zu unnötigen Ausgaben führen können, z. B. wenn ein Personendokument anstelle eines Mail-Ins für geteilte Mailboxen verwendet wird. Wir zeigen Ihnen solche Fälle und deren Lösungen. Und natürlich erklären wir Ihnen das neue Lizenzmodell.
Nehmen Sie an diesem Webinar teil, bei dem HCL-Ambassador Marc Thomas und Gastredner Franz Walder Ihnen diese neue Welt näherbringen. Es vermittelt Ihnen die Tools und das Know-how, um den Überblick zu bewahren. Sie werden in der Lage sein, Ihre Kosten durch eine optimierte Domino-Konfiguration zu reduzieren und auch in Zukunft gering zu halten.

GCE Advanced Subsidiary Level and Advanced Level
MARK SCHEME for the June 2005 question paper
9691 COMPUTING
9691/02 Paper 2 (Practical Tasks), maximum raw mark 60
This mark scheme is published as an aid to teachers and students, to indicate the
requirements of the examination. It shows the basis on which Examiners were initially
instructed to award marks. It does not indicate the details of the discussions that took place
at an Examiners’ meeting before marking began. Any substantial changes to the mark
scheme that arose from these discussions will be recorded in the published Report on the
Examination.
All Examiners are instructed that alternative correct answers and unexpected approaches in
candidates’ scripts must be given marks that fairly reflect the relevant knowledge and skills
demonstrated.
Mark schemes must be read in conjunction with the question papers and the Report on the
Examination.
• CIE will not enter into discussion or correspondence in connection with these mark
schemes.
CIE is publishing the mark schemes for the June 2005 question papers for most IGCSE and
GCE Advanced Level and Advanced Subsidiary Level syllabuses and some Ordinary Level
syllabuses

2. Grade thresholds for Syllabus 9691 (Computing) in the June 2005 examination.
maximum minimum mark required for grade:
mark
A B E
available
Component 2 60 54 52 40
The thresholds (minimum marks) for Grades C and D are normally set by dividing the
mark range between the B and the E thresholds into three. For example, if the
difference between the B and the E threshold is 24 marks, the C threshold is set 8
marks below the B threshold and the D threshold is set another 8 marks down. If
dividing the interval by three results in a fraction of a mark, then the threshold is
normally rounded down.
