1.Operating systems can be designed to support a single user or multiple users. You can run software slowly in a batch of requests ("batch mode") or in smaller and faster batches to simulate real-time transactions. Explain the advantages and disadvantages of each type of processing. Identify what type of processing Windows uses and how you know.
2.When using handheld devices, it is not the same as on a computer. Describe the similarities and differences in the operating systems between a handheld device and a desktop device with which you are familiar.
3.Genetic algorithms (adaptive computation) are a variety of problem-solving methods that are conceptually based on the method that living organisms use to adapt to their environment -- the process of evolution. From the e-Activity, describe the types of problems that genetic algorithms solve. Give your opinion about whether genetic algorithms should be used in computing. Explain your answer.
4.A linear programming algorithm requires that a single goal or objective be specified. The two general types of objectives are maximization and minimization. Describe how each of these can be used in computing.
