Consider a world on which each individual belongs to a family of six, each family resides in its own home, each house has a specific address and every person in a certain house is given a unique name.Assume that this world has a postal service providing letters from source to destination. The postal service needs (1) the letter to be in an envelope and (2)that the address (and nothing else) of the destination house be clearly shown on the envelope. Suppose each family has a delegated member who receives letters for the other family members and distributes them. The letters do not actually give the receivers of the letters a hint. a. Would the postal service.ever have to open the envelope and inspect the letter and include the service under your protocol?

Prolog Consider the (directed) network in the attached document. We could represent this network with the following Prolog statements: link(a,b). link(a,c). link(b,c). link(b,d). link(c,d). link(d,e). link(d,f). link(e,f). link(f,g). Now, given this network, we say that there is a "connection" from a node "X" to a node "Y" if we can get from "X" to "Y" via a series of links, for example, in this network, there is a connection from "a" to "d", and a connection from "c" to "f", etc. Formulate the appropriate Prolog rule "connection(X,Y)" which is true if (and only if) there is a "connection" from "X" to "Y" as described above --- note that this rule will be recursive. Test this rule out on the above network, to see if it is working correctly. Once it is working correctly, you will note that, e.g., the query "connection(a,e)." will give "true" multiple times. This means something, actually:
Consider a system that handles railway connections as it associates (source) cities to all their corresponding destinations. The requirements of the system are as follows: 1. A source city may have connections to possibly multiple destination cities. 2. Multiple source cities may share the same group of destination cities. We introduce type CITY . A possible state of the system is shown below as it is captured by variable connections:connections ={Montreal → {Ottawa, Kingston, Quebec, Halifax},Ottawa → {Montreal, Toronto},Toronto → {Montreal, Ottawa},Halifax → {Montreal, Quebec},Quebec → {Montreal, Halifax},Kingston → {Montreal}} 1. Is connections a binary relation? Explain why, and if so express this formally. 2. In the expression connections ∈ (...), what would the RHS be? 3. Is connections a function? If so, define the function formally, and reason about the properties of injectivity, surjectivity and bijectivity. 4. Describe the meaning and evaluate the following…
If a network is to be regarded successful and efficient, what conditions must be met? Let's dissect them one by one and see how they stack up.
When a network satisfies what three conditions, can it be said to have achieved its desired goals? Allow me to dissect each one separately.
Consider the case when several persons play the wireless phone game. They send a message from the first person until the last one and the message gets distorted. Simulate this process according to your own distortion rules.
In order for a network to function properly, what are the three conditions that must be met? Let's dissect them one by one and see how they stack up.
Write a pseudocode and draw a timeline diagram for the sliding window algorithm with SWA = RWS = 4 and SWS = 3 and RWS = 1 frames in the following two situations. Assume the receiver sends a duplicate acknowledgment if it does not receive the expected frame. For example, it sends DUPACK[2] when it expects to see Frame[2) but receives Frame[3] instead. Also, the receiver sends a cumulative acknowledgment after it receives all the outstanding frames. For example, it sends ACK (5) when it receives the lost frame Frame(2) after it already received Frame(3), Frame(4), and Frame[5]. Show the start timer and stop timer wherever necessary. Use a timeout interval of about 2 x RTT.
Suppose we have a group of proposed talks with preset start and end times. Students of CSE340 were asked to design an algorithm to schedule as many of these talks as possible in a lecture hall, under the assumptions that once a talk starts, it continues until it ends, no two talks can proceed at the same time, and a talk can begin at the same time another one ends. Assume that talk j begins at time sj (where s stands for start) and ends at time ej (where e stands for end). One student proposed the algorithm shown in Algorithm 1 on the next page, which simply adds talks in order of earliest start time (smallest sj ). (a) Prove, using a counter example, that the proposed algorithm does not always produce an optimal schedule (i.e., a schedule with most possible talks). (b) Another student proposed adding talks in order of shortest duration (ej - sj ). Prove, using a counter example, that even with this new criteria, the algorithm does not always produce an optimal schedule.
Let us go back to the network we have been studying in the previous few homework assignments. Only, this time, it is a social network involving people who are connected by a friend relation- ship, represented below: as Prolog code on the left, and a graphical representation on the right. Note that this friend relationship is symmetric, since, on the left, for each pair X, Y of people, if friend(X,Y), then friend(Y,X), and in the graphical representation on the right, the “edges” do not have direction. friend(abi, bea). friend(abi, cory). friend(bea, cory). friend(bea, dina). friend(cory, dina). friend(dina, eva). friend(dina, fei). friend(eva, fei). friend(fei, gil). friend(bea, abi). friend(cory, abi). friend(cory, bea). friend(dina, bea). friend(dina, cory). friend(eva, dina). friend(fei, dina). friend(fei, eva). friend(gil, fei). Write the Prolog predicate friend of a friend(X,Y) which is true when X has a friend who is a friend of Y. Note: that this does not preclude X from also…
