Device management in operating system-computer world

 Device management in operating system

Device management in operating system implies the management of input/output devices such as keyboard, disc ,microphone, scanner etc. There are a variety of input output devices that can be attached to a computer system. We discuss about the element of input output devices and how they interact with the computer system and also discuss about the responsibilities of an operating system. Computer operates on many devices like transmission devices, character devices, multimedia devices etc.

Device management is the process of managing the maintenance of physical and virtual devices. The various resources controlled by the operating system can be thought of as devices some of these devices are physical devices and virtual devices, physical devices like keyboard printer Mouse etc Virtual devices like file and device driver. 

Device driver : A device driver is a type of software that helps to run any hardware connected to a computer. When we add a device such as a printer, scanner etc to the computer they also have their driver. Some computers already have a driver and some have to do letter.

Devices management functions that must be performed by an operating system : 

  1. Status of every devices.
  2. Allocate the devices.
  3. keeps tracks of all devices, program responsible for this task is known as input output controller.

Aggregation and Functional dependency in DBMS-computer world

  Aggregation and  Functional dependency in  DBMS Aggregation  In aggregation the relation between two entities is treated as a single entity. In aggregation relationship with its corresponding entity is aggregated into higher level entity . It is the process of compiling information on object, there by obstructing a higher level. On limitation of the ER model is that it can not Express relationship among relationships. The aggregation represent a relationship between a whole object and its component in other word we can say that using aggregation we can express relationship main relationships.  For example center entity offer the course entity act as a single entity in the relationship which is in a relationship with another entity visitor. In the real world if a visitor visits a coaching center they will never inquiry about the course or just about the center instead he will ask the inquiry about both.

Nested relation -oocomputer world

 Nested relation   During the first normal form we require that all attributes have atomic domain a domain is atomic if elements of the domain are considered to be indivisible unit.  For example the set of integer is an atomic domain but the set of all sets of integer is a non atomic domain. We considered set of integer to have subpart the important issue in first normal form not the domain itself but rather the way we use domain element in database. The nested relational model is a extension of the relation model in which domain may be either atomic or relation  valued of a tuple on a attribute may be relation and relation may be stored within relation . A complex objects can be represented by a single tuple of a nested relation if we view a tuple of a nested relation a data item we have a one to one correspondence between data item and objects in the user's view of the database.  Nested relation are just one example of extensions to the basic relational m...
