Maximum Number Of Keys In B Tree Of Height K

B-tree is a tree data structure that keeps data always in the sorted order. The time complexity for the operations like searching, insertions, deletions, and sequential access is logarithmic amortized time. In other way, B-tree is a generalization of a binary search tree in which more than two paths may diverge from a single node and all leaf nodes must be at the same level. B-trees are most commonly used in databases and filesystems. B Trees are balanced search tree which are designed to work on secondary storage devices like magnetic disks, hard disks etc. As branchimg factor of Btress can be very large so they can store large amount of data easily. Some algorithms are being implemented to copy the fixed number of pages from disk in to the primary memory like RAM and also write down on to the disks those pages which have been altered. Generally branching factor in between 50 and 2000 are being used to store a large B Tree on disks. If a database contains n key values then worst case running time of searching an un indexed and unsorted key value will be of order of n that is O(n) but if the same data is indexed with a B-tree, the same search operation will run in O(log n) which is always asymptotic less than O(n). To perform a search for a single key on a set of one million keys (1,000,000), As it is well known fact that a linear search will require at most 1,000,000 comparisons but If the same data is indexed with a B-tree of minimum degree (10), then only 114 comparisons will be required in the worst case. So indexing large amounts of data can significantly improve search performance. Although other balanced tree structures can be used, a B-tree also optimizes costly disk accesses that are of concern when dealing with large data sets and operation of searching, inserting, deleting etc. is being done rapidly. In this paper, the mathematical derivation of the maximum number of keys in B Tree of height k and minimum degree m is described, tested and found to be absolutely correct. ... Read more

Towards The Solution Of NP Complete Problems

The word algorithm is the magical word in the field of computer science because the imagination of the existence of any branch of computer science like artificial intelligence, computer network, human computer interaction etc. is useless without the word algorithm. There are some problems for which no any researcher is able to design those algorithms, which have polynomial time complexity in the worst case. No any researchers have even proved that no any polynomial time algorithm can solve them in worst case. NP complete problems arise in domains like automata and language theory, sequencing and scheduling, mathematical programming, algebra and number theory, games and puzzles, optimization problems, Boolean logic, graphs, arithmetic, designing of network, sets and partitions, storage and retrieval, biology, chemistry, physics etc. In this paper such kind of the problems (non deterministic polynomial type complete problem) is being studied along with the approximation algorithm for vertex cover problem. Researchers are applying their best efforts to design new approximation algorithms for nondeterministic polynomial type problems which have comparable less time complexity and space complexity as compared to the existing approximation algorithms. ...

Data Centers And Cloud Computing: A Review

A data center is a facility used to house computers, telecommunications, and storage systems. Most data centers have redundant power systems and data communications connections, as well as proper environmental and security to protect the equipment and the clients’ data. By renting these data center resources, clients can reduce their cost of operation and need for technical staff, and increase the amount of time and energy expended on their core business. Many services are offered at data centers, such as cloud computing. For all practical purposes the use of cloud computing centralizes the clients’ server hardware and applications, reducing the need to maintain a server room, equipment, and staffing of their own. The use of cloud computing also has many other benefits, including increased productivity, since users can access their applications from anywhere on the internet. In this paper a review is done on how the data center reduces the need for hardware by “time sharing” clients on the same hardware platform with the use of virtualization. ... Read more

CRM And Customer Sustainability By Agrivendors

Marketing is to establish, maintain and enhance relationships with customers and other parties at a profit so that the objectives of the parties involved are met. This is done by a mutual exchange and fulfillment of promises. Modus operandii of the agrivendors is an area of elaborated study since the Customer Relationship Management (CRM) plays a very important role in the operations of these agrivendors. Further, relationship marketing is also sometimes referred to as defensive marketing – because it aims to defend existing clients from being poached by competitors, rather than aggressively hunt for new ones. What a layman understands from CRM is the overall behaviour, interaction and communication that any vendor exhibits with his customers to ensure business, its growth and sustainability. It is the process of creating and sustaining associations with potential customers and consumers. It is to be understood that, it is the apt use of CRM that an agrivendors sustains and grows. Especially, in markets of middle size towns customer relationship plays a vital role because the set of customers is similar in nature and; is fairly price and quality conscious and at the same time the competition is high. This study has been conducted to understand the CRM moves of the agrivendors. The basic objectives of the study have been to understand as to how the agrivendors manage to sustain and grow their customer base. This study was done on two sets of target populations one: the stationed agrivendors (183) and the mobile agrivendors (59). The methodology followed was of convenient sampling and a total of 242 respondents were interviewed individually. FGD’s of customers / consumers were also organized to get the feed back on the attitude and behaviour of the agrivendors and also on the parameters of reliability, cost efficiency and quality etc. The study also leads to an insight wherein the Agrivendors with either some modular planning and/or some modification in the state of the products get into better business opportunities. There are a couple of good examples to be sighted related to Customer Relationship of the Agrivendors and their business management. ... Read more

Leading Role Of E-Commerce In Supply-Chain Management(E-Scm)

How does Internet help to transform and shape today’s companies in this information era? The answer is “ebusiness”. E-business infrastructure is an information tool for optimizing the entire business management and operation processes. Competition in the 21st century will be across supply chains, not individual companies. A supply chain is a network of facilities and distribution options for the entire network of companies to work together to design, produce, deliver, and service products. Since its inception about 10 years ago, the field of supply chain management has become tremendously important to companies in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. Companies focused primarily on manufacturing cost (C) before 70’s, quality (Q) improvements in 70’s, product delivery time (T) in 80’s, services (S) in earlier 90’s, and environmental (E) compatibility in late 90’s within their bounded walls; now their efforts extend beyond those walls to encompass the entire supply chain efficiently and intelligently in a knowledge-based (K) economy of this Millennium. E-commerce does not just mean trading and shopping on the Internet. It means business efficiency at all operation levels. Executives know it is critical to effective business operations, but until now quantifiable performance measures have been as scarce as the number of corporate executives of China who heard of the phrase "supply chain management" (SCM). Supply Chain Management means coordinating, scheduling and controlling procurement, production, inventories and deliveries of products and services to customers. The SCM is the backbone of Ecommerce, a very critical component of E-commerce. Supply Chain Efficiency means having the right product at the right place at the right time, can save money/reduce costs, and can enhance cash utilization. So, in this paper , I am highlighting , the impact of e-commerce in supply chain management in the following area… • Integrated, automatic system-to-system interaction with all trading partners •The ability to integrate those interactions seamlessly with your in-house applications and processes to provide true end-to-end visibility and control •Accommodation of the individual nuances of each partner's mode of interaction • A high-quality and reliable means of exchanging messages over the Internet, which provides business-level guarantees of delivery and integrity •Intelligent management of those interactions, allowing control and ability to change them dynamically • The ability to adapt to change, by quickly and easily locating new services or partners, learning their specific capabilities, and forming a rapid "electronic bond" with them. ...

Retention Marketing In Insurance: The Key To Business Performance

Customer retention is at the heart of any relationship marketing effort. The efforts of the seller are directed towards creating new and sustained benefits on continuous basis, which ultimately leads to a deepening of the relationship. Customer Retention marketing is a process whereby marketers look at building a long term association with their customers. A retention or relationship marketing need to understand the needs of their customers at different stages, and provide products and services accordingly. Insurance is a price competitive arena, trust and customer service play huge roles in attracting and retaining customers. Excellent customer service is the key to gaining new customers and customer retention. India has a vast potential that is waiting to be tapped and this could be achieved with effective Customer Relationship Marketing. With the opening up of the market, a slew of changes are in the offing: reduced premium prices, increased product customization, focus on risk-based pricing and improved customer services. The introduction of any product or scheme involves a lot of research work and market feasibility studies. In India, a study of the consumers’ perception of a product and their expectations, the barriers to adoption and options in distribution. Insurers then come up with critical factors which may ensure the success of new scheme. It is important to retain employees and investors in order to retain customers. Disloyal employees are not motivated enough to build a base of loyal customers. Similarly, disloyal investors will not be interested in building long-term relationships. The team of customers, employees and investors must hence share a common vision of a long-term relationship. CRM technology can help improve customer service and customer contact. Private players are picking up market share from competitors. Most companies have information technology (IT) departments that are critical to the success of the business. It is important for the firm to understand the reasons that make customers switch. Some of the reasons could be price, inconvenience, and core service failure, failed employee responses to service failure, ethical problems, involuntary factors, competitive issues and service encounter failures. Understanding the causes of switching will help the firm develop barriers to prevent switching. All Insurance companies target is to increase revenue and achieve greater profitability while lowering process costs and still attracting more customers to the organization. To achieve this, insurance companies need to develop new sales channels, offer innovative products and improved existing customer service to ensure success in the long run. ... Read more

ERP Software

ERP - Enterprise resource planning is a company-wide computer software system used to manage and coordinate all the resources, information, and functions of a business from shared data stored. It is an electronic resource planning of an enterprise. It is useful as it saves lots of time of every individual within the enterprise. It is highly safe as data is protected in a particular server. Only individuals authorized to edit and save any data within the ERP system can do it and rest cannot. His includes planning, manufacturing, and sales, while more recent ERP software products encompass marketing, inventory control, order tracking, customer service, finance and human resources as well. It is a fast electronic data processing program. ERP systems are cross-functional and enterprise-wide.

Customer Relationship Management In Education

Educational institutions worldwide are undergoing fundamental shifts in how they operate and interact with their “customers”: students, alumni, donors, faculty members, and staff members. Kotler and Fox (1995) state that “the best organization in the world will be ineffective if the focus on ‘customers’ is lost. First and foremost is the treatment of individual students, alumni, parents, friends, and each other (internal customers). Every contact counts!” The concept of Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is an exciting one, especially as the education market becomes more competitive. Deregulation and a blurring of the boundaries, coupled with increased competition on the international front are forcing institutes to reconsider the mechanisms they use to attract and retain suitably qualified prospective students and forge relationships with corporate clients. Similar to ERP, CRM solutions focus on automating and improving processes, although the focus is on front office areas, such as recruiting, marketing, customer service, and support. In this paper, we present CRM as internal business processes—in areas such as finance, grants management, student information, enrollment, inventory management, and human resources—and freed them from some of the minutia found in day to day operations. ...

Exploiting UML To Model Military Organization And Military Behavior

Unified Modelling Language is a set of graphical description techniques for specifying, visualizing, implementing and documenting object-oriented systems. The behaviour of military strategy and planning in a typical military organization is dynamic. A military organization has large number of entities (both distinct as well as similar) and the revalent relationships between them. There are also complex association between various objects. Also, the flow of critical and confidential information between wide varieties of objects makes modelling of a military organization more difficult. In this paper we present a study of modelling military organization and military behaviour in a generic manner, using the Unified Modelling Language (UML) as a knowledge representation technique. The class diagram that is provided by UML is well suited for representing military organizations whose structure is well-known, since military units and their interrelations can be represented as classes and interrelations between the classes. On the other hand, it is a much harder task to represent military organizations that are not wellknown or military behaviour because of the uncertainty associated with them. Different behaviours are triggered in different environments using different doctrines, and the outcomes of the behaviours are uncertain. Due to complexity, time constraints and war friction, causal relations between different factors, which play an important role in warfare, may be uncertain. ... Read more

Network Intrusion Detection System With Data Mining Approach

Network intrusion detection systems have become a standard component in security infrastructures. Unfortunately, current systems are poor at detecting novel attacks without an unacceptable level of false alarms. We propose that the solution to this problem is the application of an ensemble of data mining techniques which can be applied to network connection data in an offline environment, augmenting existing real-time sensors. In this paper, we expand on our motivation, particularly with regard to running in an offline environment, and our interest in multisensor and multimethod correlation. We then review existing systems, from commercial systems, to research based intrusion detection systems. Next we survey the state of the art in the area. Standard datasets and feature extraction turned out to be more important than we had initially anticipated, so each can be found under its own heading. Next, we review the actual data mining methods that have been proposed or implemented. We conclude by summarizing the open problems in this area and proposing a new research project to answer some of these open problems. ... Read more
