 E-Readiness in Nepal

ER is a measure of a country’s readiness and willingness to attain benefits, which arise from the ICT activities (Kautish et al, 2016, 2018, 2019). ER is widely used to measure the ability of a country to take part in e- activities. ER indicators provide an outline of a country’s situation and can easily form a baseline for comparison and future planning. It also helps in the improvement and identifying the areas where support is required. It is also one of the useful tools to measure the minimum required levels of infrastructure, education, training, and supportive government policies to cater to benefit from ICT (Dada, 2006).

           Nepal’s ER has significantly improved from the world ranking of 135 in the year 2016 to the world ranking of 117 in the year 2018 with the improvement of EGDI score of 0.4748 in 2018 in comparison to EGDI score of 0.3458 in 2016. This indicator shows the improvement of Nepal’s EG index ranking thereby putting the country towards a significant development in ICT. (UN, 2018). Similarly, the E-Participation Index of Nepal has jumped tremendously into the world ranking of 55 in 2018 in comparison to that of 89 in 2016. The E-Participation Index (EPI) score has improved from 0.5085 in 2016 to 0.7809 in 2018. This shows that e- Participation in the country has increased significantly. This indicates that Nepal is getting better in terms of technology implementation and usage, which shows that there is a very favorable environment for the implementation of EG in the country. (UN, 2018).

Suppose that a data warehouse for Big-University consists of the following four dimensions: student, course, semester, and instructor, and two measures count and avg_grade. When at the lowest conceptual level (e.g., for a given student, course, semester, and instructor combination), the avg_grade measure stores the actual course grade of the student. At higher conceptual levels, avg_grade stores the average grade for the given combination. a) Draw a snowflake schema diagram for the data warehouse. b) Starting with the base cuboid [student, course, semester, instructor], what specific OLAP operations (e.g., roll-up from semester to year) should one perform in order to list the average grade of CS courses for each BigUniversity student. c) If each dimension has five levels (including all), such as “student < major < status < university < all”, how many cuboids will this cube contain (including the base and apex cuboids)?

a) A Snowflake Shema is shown in figure below: b) The specific OLAP operations to be performed: 1. Roll-up on course from course_id to department. 2. Roll-up on a student from student_id to university. 3. Dice on course, student with department ="CS" and university = "biguniversity" 4. Drill-down on a student from the university to student_name. c) N = 4 dimensions The cube will contain 54 = 625 cuboids.

Discuss classification or taxonomy of virtualization at different levels.

Taxonomy of virtualization Virtualization is mainly used to emulate the execution environment, storage, and networks. The execution environment is classified into two: – Process-level – implemented on top of an existing operating system.  – System-level – implemented directly on hardware and does not or minimum requirement of the existing operating system. OR,  Virtualization covers a wide range of emulation techniques that are applied to different areas of computing. A classification of these techniques helps us better understand their characteristics and use  V irtualization is mainly used to emulate  ● Execution Environments: To provide support for the execution of the programs eg. OS, and Application.  ○ Process Level: Implemented on top of an existing OS that has full control of the hardware  ○ System Level: Implemented directly on Hardware and do not require support from existing OS.  ● Storage: Storage vi...

Suppose that a data warehouse consists of the three dimensions time, doctor, and patient, and the two measures count and charge, where a charge is the fee that a doctor charges a patient for a visit. a) Draw a schema diagram for the above data warehouse using one of the schemas. [star, snowflake, fact constellation] b) Starting with the base cuboid [day, doctor, patient], what specific OLAP operations should be performed in order to list the total fee collected by each doctor in 2004? c) To obtain the same list, write an SQL query assuming the data are stored in a relational database with the schema fee (day, month, year, doctor, hospital, patient, count, charge)

Solution: a) Star Schema is shown in the figure below: b) First, we should use the roll-up operation to get the year 2004(rolling-up from the day then month to a year). After getting that, we need to use the slice operation to select (2004). Second, we should use roll-up operation again to get all patients. Then, we need to use the slice operation to select (all). Finally, we get a list of the total fee collected by each doctor in 2004. So, 1. roll up from day to month to year 2. slice for year = “2004” 3. roll up on patient from the individual patient to all 4. slice for patient = “all” 5. get the list of the total fees collected by each doctor in 2004 c) Select doctor, Sum(charge) From fee Where year = 2004 Group by doctor
