BCA - SEMESTER - 6 - SUMMER - 2015

PROGRAM  BCA
SUBJECT CODE & NAME BCA6013– Cloud Computing

1  Write short notes on:
  Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS),
  Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS)
  Software-as-a-Service (SaaS).

Ans- Infrastructure-as-a-Service  like  Amazon  Web  Services  provides  virtual

server  instance  API  (Application  programming  interface)  to  start,  stop, access  and  configure  their  virtual  servers  and  storage.  In  the  enterprise,  cloud computing allows a company to pay for only as much capacity as is  needed, and bring more online as soon as required. Because this pay-forwhat-you-use  model  resembles  the  way  electricity,  fuel  and  water  are  consumed, it's sometimes referred to as utility computing.

2  What are the governing bodies for cloud services and what are their  roles and responsibilities?

Ans- Establishment of the governance body

You need your own group of people who understand your business to dealwith  the  business  of  the  cloud.  This  governance  board  might  consist  of  representatives  of  corporate,  departmental,  and  IT  management  to  help  encourage  communication  the  kind  necessary  to  link  IT  management  and
the  business.  This  board  may  also  create  other  groups  responsible  for  different aspects of

3.What  is  cloud  client  in  cloud  computing technology?  Explain  three  different types of hardware clients.

Ans- Clients

A  cloud  client  consists  of  computer  hardware  and/or  computer  software  which relies on cloud  omputing for application delivery, it embraces the use  of  cloud  computing  architectures  but  adds  a  client  technology  that  runs  locally  on  a  computer  or  device  and  can  interact  with  local  applications  and resources. It also  acts as  an  interface  between  cloud  and  the common computer user  through  web  browsers  and  thin  computing  terminals.  So  the  term  cloud  client  describes  a  piece  of  hardware,  a  piece  of  software  or  both,  that  is  specifically designed for a cloud service.

4  Write the merits and demerits of cloud storage.

Ans- Merits and Demerits of Cloud Storage

There  are  several  advantages  of  the  cloud  storage  model  compared  to  networked online storage and  individual storage.  The data stored in the end  user device cannot be accessed easily by others whereas the cloud storage  data is with third party. In cloud storage since it is with third party there are
more  prone  to  loss  or  theft.  Networked  storage  devices  addressing  those  Bproblems, but they still require both human and physical resources that an  individual  or  a  corporation  may  not  possess.  For  example,  creating  a  redundant  storage  array  and  backing  it  up  is  outside  the  skill  set  of  most
people,  while  building  and  maintaining  a  data  center  is  beyond  the  core capabilities  of  most

5.  Explain why companies prefer private cloud than the public cloud?

Ans- Reasons  why companies prefer private cloud than the public cloud.

  Your organization has a huge, well-run data center with a lot of spare  capacity. It would be more  expensive to use a public cloud even if you  have to add new software to transform that data center into a cloud.

  Your organization offers IT services to a large ecosystem of partners as  part  of  your  core  business.  Therefore,  a  private  cloud  could  be  a  revenue source.

                    PROGRAM  BCA (REVISED FALL 2012)
SUBJECT CODE &  NAME BCA6021 – KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT
1.  What  are  the  internal  and  external  forces  that  drive  Knowledge Management? Explain in brief.
The Future of Knowledge Management
The future of knowledge management can be analyzed by three continuing  trends:
(1)  Benefit  to  KM  due  to  progress  in  information  technologies:  KM  will  benefit  from  continual  and  dynamic  progress  in  information  technologies.  Since  cost  of  digitizing  information  has  become  very  minimal due to improvements in cost/performance ratios of IT, KM will  become  inevitable.  The  cost  of  coordination  across  individuals,  organizational  sub-units,  or  organizations

2.  Define data, information and knowledge. How are they related?
Data, information and knowledge
In the previous unit, you have already read about the data, information and  knowledge. Let us discuss  the same in different  perspectives. We can read  data, we grasp information, and we acquire knowledge. We can also store  data, information, and knowledge in the computer. So we must differentiate  these  terms  –  data,  information  and  knowledge  in  the  perceptual  and  cognitive space and be able to differentiate them in the computational space.

3.  What are the key differences between conventional  system lifecycle and KM system lifecycle?

Key differences between conventional system lifecycle and KM system lifecycle:
The main objective of the conventional system lifecycle and the KM system  lifecycle is same, i.e., to enable the project to be accomplished   more easily  and  efficiently.  But  there  are  some  differences  between  both  the  system  lifecycle in the way both the system accomplish any task or project. The key
differences between both the conventional system lifecycle and KM system  lifecycle are shown in table 4.1 in terms of phases through whic h both the  system passes for the development of software project.

4.  Explain Nonaka’s Model of Knowledge Creation &  Transformation.
Nonaka’s Model of Knowledge Creation & Transformation
In 1995,  Ikujiro Nonaka,  a  Japanese organizational theorist and Professor Emeritus at the Graduate School of International Corporate Strategy of the Hitotsubashi  University,  coined  the  terms  tacit  knowledge  and  explicit  knowledge  as  the  two  main  types  of  human  knowledge.  The  key  to
knowledge  creation  lies  in  the  way  it  is  mobilized  and  converted  through  technology. In the earlier unit, knowledge management has been defined as performing  the  activities  involved  in  discovering,  capturing,  sharing,  and  applying  knowledge  so  as  to  enhance,  in  a  cost-effective  fashion,  the  impact  of  knowledge on the unit’s goal achievement.

Steps involved in using the Delphi method:
  Identify issue or question that needs to be addressed; typically this will  be a complex issue requiring expert advice.
  Form  Delphi  team  of  voluntary  participants  to  undertake  in  project  as  well as monitor research activities. Select appropriate participants who  are experts with matter at hand.
  Create  first  set  of  Delphi  question,  pilot  questionnaire  to  avoid  using  improper wording that is ambiguous or vague
  Distribute first questionnaire to panelist
