This document provides information about getting solved assignments for the Master of Science in Information Technology program. It lists a contact email and phone number to call or email with the semester and specialization to receive fully solved assignments. It then provides details of an assignment for the Operating Systems subject, including questions about distributed vs real-time systems, process states, deadlock conditions, sequential vs direct access methods, bus arbitration methods, and encryption vs decryption.

Note: Answer all questions. Kindly note that answers for 10 marks questions should be
approximately of 400 words. Each question is followed by evaluation scheme.
1 Differentiate between Distributed Systems and Real-time Systems.
Answer : A distributed real-time system composes two challenging sets of properties which are
imposed by the problem domain or the solution domain (or both.)
Distributed
A distributed system links a number of independent computing entities with local properties by way
of a communication mechanism. As a consequence, algorithms and other design components must
take into consideration the synchrony and the failure model. A useful summary (not entirely
objective) of distributed computing concerns is included in Deutsch's Eight Fallacies of Distributed
Computing. (See this useful exposition.) All of
2 Explain the different process states.
Answer : A process is a program in execution. The execution of a process must progress in a
sequential fashion. Definition of process is following.
A process which is Executed by the Process have various States, the State of the Process is also called
as the Status of the process, The Status includes whether the Process has Executed or Whether the
process is Waiting for Some input and output from the user and whether the Process is Waiting for
the CPU to Run the Program after the Completion of
3 Define Deadlock. Explain necessary conditions for deadlock.
Answer : A deadlock is a situation in which two computer programs sharing the same resource are
effectively preventing each other from accessing the resource, resulting in both programs ceasing to

2. function. The earliest computer operating systems ran only one program at a time. Eventually some
operating systems offered dynamic allocation of resources. Programs could request further
allocations of resources after they had begun
4 Differentiate between Sequential access and direct access methods.
Answer : The hypertext and hyperlink exemplify the direct-access paradigm and are a significant
improvement over the more traditional, book-based model of sequential access.
(Direct access can also be called random access, because it allows equally easy and fast access to any
randomly selected destination. Somewhat like traveling by a Star Trek transporter instead of driving
along the freeway and passing the exits one at a time, which is what you get with sequential access.)
In a normal, physical book, the reader is supposed
5 Differentiate between Daisy chain bus arbitration and Priority encoded bus arbitration.
Answer : In most mini- and mainframe computer systems, a great deal of input and output occurs
between the disk system and the processor. It would be very inefficient to perform these operations
directly through the processor; it is much more efficient if such devices, which can transfer data at a
very high rate, place the data directly into the memory, or take the data directly from the processor
without direct intervention from the processor. I/O performed in this way is usually called direct
memory access, or DMA. The controller for a device
6 Differentiate between encryption and decryption. What are the two basic methods for
encryption?
Answer : Encryption and decryption are both methods used to ensure the secure passing of
messages and other sensitive documents and information.
Encryption basically means to convert the message into code or scrambled form, so that anybody
who does not have the 'key' to unscramble the code, cannot view it. This is usually done by using a
'cipher'. A cipher is a type of algorithm used in encryption that uses a certain described method to
scramble the data. The cipher can only be 'deciphered' with a 'key'. A key is the actual 'described
method' that was used to scramble the data, and
