II. True or False. Write NETWORK if the statement is correct and WEB if the statement is incorrect on the
line before each statement.
____________1. In electronic systems and computing, firmware is a tangible electronic component with
embedded software instructions, such as a BIOS.
____________2. Flashing involves the overwriting of existing firmware or data on EEPROM modules present
in
an electronic device with new data.
____________3. Firmware is the process of assigning either unique version names or unique version
numbers to unique states of computer software.
____________4. Platform middleware connects different application architectures.
____________5. Enterprise and platform connect software components or enterprise applications.
____________6. Watts (W) is also a term used to express heat output and cooling. One watt is equal to
3.412
Btu/hr.
____________7. In computing, a server is a piece of computer hardware or software (computer program) that
provides functionality for other programs or devices, called "programs".
____________8. The role of a server is to share data as well as to share resources and distribute work. A
server
computer can serve its own computer programs as well, depending on the scenario, this
could
be part of a quid pro quo transaction, or simply a technical possibility. The following table
shows
several scenarios in which a server is used.
____________9. Hardware requirement for servers vary widely, depending on the server's purpose and its
software.
____________10. Segregation is the process of bringing together various types of software sub-systems so
that
they create a unified single system.
____________11. Minicomputers that contain several processor units are called multiprocessor
system.
____________12. Medium term is responsible for selecting one process from ready state for scheduling it on
the running state.
____________13. The choice between Static or Dynamic Loading is to be made at the time of computer
program
being developed. If you must load your program statically, then at the time of compilation,
the complete programs will be compiled and linked without leaving any external program or
module dependency. The linker combines the object program with another necessary object
modules into an absolute program, which also includes logical addresses.
____________14. Swapping is a mechanism in which a process can be swapped temporarily out of main
memory (or move) to secondary storage (disk) and make that memory available to other
processes.
____________15. Paging is a memory management technique in which process address space is broken
into
blocks of the same size called pages (size is power of 2, between 512 bytes and 8192
bytes).
____________16. Segment map table is a memory management technique in which each job is divided into
several segments of different sizes, one for each module that contains pieces that perform
related functions.
____________17. Denial of service attacks normally prevent user to make legitimate use of the system.

____________18. Worm is a mechanism or means by which a hacker can detects system vulnerabilities to
make an attack on the system.
____________19 Logic Bomb refers to misuse of system services and network connections to put user in
trouble.
____________20. File type refers to the ability of the operating system to distinguish different types of file such
as text files source files and binary files etc.
