Understanding Use Cases, Object Interaction, and Domain Models
Understanding Use Cases
Use Case: A business process that begins and ends with an actor, accomplishing a business task for that actor.
Components:
- Operation: A series of actions or instructions to accomplish a step in a business process.
- Action: An indivisible act, movement, or instruction performed during an operation.
Steps in Use Case Development
- Identifying use cases: deriving use cases, actors, and subsystems.
- Rearranging use cases among subsystems.
- Constructing a traceability matrix.
- Specifying use
Domain Modeling: Key Concepts and UML Representation
Domain Model and Cartographer Strategy
The construction of a Domain Model (DM) is compared to a cartographer’s strategy because of the following reasons:
- Existing Names: A DM should use the existing names within a territory. It utilizes the vocabulary of the domain, including conceptual classes and attributes.
- Relevance: A cartographer removes elements from a map if they are not considered relevant to the map’s purpose. Similarly, a DM may exclude conceptual classes from the problem domain that are
C Code Examples: Neurons, Vectors, and ID Validation
Neurons
The following C code demonstrates a simple neuron activation function.
#include <stdio.h>
int main() {
int entry[5], weights[5], limit, and;
putchar('\n');
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
printf("Entry%d: ", i);
scanf("%d", &entry[i]);
}
putchar('\n');
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
printf("Weight%d: ", i);
scanf("%d", &weights[i]);
}
putchar('\n');
printf("Limit: ");
scanf("%d", &limit);
Database Normalization: 3NF Explained with Examples
Understanding 3NF (Third Normal Form) in Databases
This document explains the concept of Third Normal Form (3NF) in database normalization, including examples and step-by-step conversion.
Question 1: 3NF Determination and Conversion
Given a relation R(X, Y, Z) and Functional Dependency set FD = {X → Y and Y → Z}, determine if R is in 3NF. If not, convert it into 3NF.
Candidate Key Identification
Let’s calculate the closure of X: X+ = XYZ (from the closure method). Since the closure of X contains

Single Linked List Implementation in C
This section demonstrates the implementation of a single linked list in C. The code includes functions for inserting nodes at the beginning and end of the list, deleting nodes from the beginning and end, and displaying the contents of the list.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
struct Node {
int data;
struct Node *next;
};
void insert(struct Node **head, int data, int atEnd) {
struct Node *newNode = (struct Node *)malloc(sizeof(Understanding State Machines, Statecharts, and Software Classification
State Machines and Statecharts
State machines and statechart diagrams capture the dynamic aspects of a software-intensive system. Events can be categorized as signals, calls, changes, or time-based. Except for call events, which are synchronous, all others are asynchronous.
Signal Events
Signal events are triggered by external events. Signals are similar to classes in that they have attributes, operations, instances, and participate in generalization relationships. The sender continues execution after
