Scheduling
Scheduling is explicitly part of our lives. We schedule everything, and need to in order to plan our resources accordingly. When business schedule tasks on a large scale, any inefficiencies in the schedule could magnify into problems for meeting demand, issues for customers, increases in costs, etc. This assignment uses Johnson's Rule to schedule several events in order to reduce idle time in a manufacturing process.
This assignment requires you apply Scheduling Theory in order to optimize a schedule of events and reduce lost productivity. Please refer to the chapter and materials on Schedule for the procedures to do.

Analysis
a) In what order should the cars be processed through the facility that is the most efficient overall?
b) How long from start to finish will it take to complete the processing the five cars?
c) How much idle time was incurred by the washing process?
d) How much idle time was incurred by the waxing process?
e) Suppose there are 10 products you are creating that require time in 3 different machines.
f) Make up the data corresponding to these 30 values, what is the optimal schedule? (Show the table of made up data)
g) For the made up proboem, how long is the total time to complete the production of all 10 products?
h) How much idle time is there are on all 3 of the machines?
Consulting
i) How might Statistical Process Controls impact scheduling in a real business situation?
j) How might Queuing Theory impact scheduling in a real business situation?

Create a table with a primary key to identify business
: Construct a table that will store data about each student that took a course and what grade they received. The data should include the semester of completion.

Identify the data type for variable
: Assume you manage a dog walking service, in which you interact with both clients and dog walkers. Your task is to schedule dog-walking appointments based on the customers requested dates and times and the availability of the dog walkers.

Tcp sender and receiver sequence
: Think about a TCP sender and receiver. Suppose bytes 0 .. 99 have been sent, received, and acknowledged (the sender has received ack's for them). Suppose the sender sends the following segments

Explanations on spreadsheet concepts
: A workbook can contain more than one worksheet. Provide an example of a spreadsheet application where it would be necessary to have more than one worksheet, can you describe how that works?

Optimize a schedule of events and reduce lost productivity
: Apply Scheduling Theory in order to optimize a schedule of events and reduce lost productivity

Application over udp or tcp
: Think about the streaming stored audio. Does it make sense to run the application over UDP or TCP? Which transport protocol does Real Networks use?

|
Preparing a short video clip
: Create a short video clip on some topic from your chosen multimedia assignment. Do the same for a short 3D animation using Blender on a different topic.

Compute student grades via linux shell script
: Construct a shell script to run on Knoppix or Linux, that will compute and display the letter grades for the students based on the average of four test scores.

Diffie hellman key agreement
: Assume that users Alice and Bob carry out the Diffie-Hellman key agreement protocol with p = 50147 and g = 5. Assume that Alice chooses x = 1367 and Bob chooses y = 3789.
