Question Answered step-by-step Consider the following story of the play Macbeth, by William…  Consider the following story of the play Macbeth, by William Shakespeare:The characters are Macbeth, Lady-Macbeth, Duncan and Macduff.Macbeth is an evil noble. Lady-Macbeth is a greedy ambitious woman.Duncan is a king. Macduff is a loyal noble. Macbeth is weak becauseMacbeth married Lady-Macbeth and because Lady-Macbeth is greedy.Lady-Macbeth persuades Macbeth to want to be king. Macbeth murdersDuncan using a knife because Macbeth wants to be king and becauseMacbeth is evil. Lady-Macbeth kills Lady-Macbeth. Macduff is angrybecause Macbeth murdered Duncan and because Macduff is loyal toDuncan. Macduff kills Macbeth.Construct a semantic network representing the above story. [8 marks]Show the chain of reasoning leading to Macduff killing Macbeth. [5 marks]It is possible to change the story so that Lady-Macbeth is unable to persuadeMacbeth to want to be king. Augment the story to provide a reason forLady-Macbeth’s inability to persuade Macbeth to want to be king. Update thefor i = 1 . . . N, is the sum of the information gained from observing eachone of these events separately and in any order. [4 marks](b) What is the shortest possible code length, in bits per average symbol, thatcould be achieved for a six-letter alphabet whose symbols have the followingprobability distribution?(a) Prove that the information measure is additive: that the information gainedfrom observing the combination of N independent events, whose probabilitiesare pifor i = 1 . . . N, is the sum of the information gained from observing eachone of these events separately and in any order. [4 marks](b) What is the shortest possible code length, in bits per average symbol, thatcould be achieved for a six-letter alphabet whose symbols have the followingprobability distribution?(c) Suppose that ravens are black with probability 0.6, that they are male withprobability 0.5 and female with probability 0.5, but that male ravens are 3times more likely to be black than are female ravens.If you see a non-black raven, what is the probability that it is male? [4 marks]How many bits worth of information are contained in a report that a non-blackraven is male? [1 mark]Rank-order for this problem, from greatest to least, the following uncertainties:(i) uncertainty about colour(ii) uncertainty about gender(iii) uncertainty about colour, given only that a raven is male(iv) uncertainty about gender, given only that a raven is non-black[3 marks](d) If a continuous signal f(t) is modulated by multiplying it with a complexexponential wave exp(iωt) whose frequency is ω, what happens to the Fourierspectrum of the signal?Name a very important practical application of this principle, and explain whymodulation is a useful operation.How can the original Fourier spectrum later be recovered? [3 marks](e) Which part of the 2D Fourier Transform of an image, the amplitude spectrumor the phase spectrum, is indispensable in order for the image to be intelligible?Describe a demonstration that proves this.

[5 marks](b) What are the roles of space and time in the two cases, and what symmetriesexist between the stereo vision and the motion vision versions of theCorrespondence Problem? [5 marks](c) How does the complexity of the computation depend on the number ofunderlying features that constitute the data? [5 marks](d) Briefly describe at least one general approach to an e1 Distributed Systems In a distributed electronic conference application each participant has a replica of a shared whiteboard. Only one user at a time may write to the whiteboard, after which the user’s update is propagated to all conference members. A dedicated process manages each whiteboard replica. Define and discuss a protocol that the replica managers could use to achieve this mutual exclusion. [10 marks] A service database is replicated within a widely distributed system to achieve high availability and low access latency. Within a hierarchy of replicas a set of top-level primary servers maintain strong consistency of their replicas. Describe how this strong consistency could be achieved. [10 marks] 2 VLSI Design Sketch a transistor-level design and give a brief description of the method of operation for each of the following memory cells: (a) a dual-ported, static memory cell [5 marks] (b) a dynamic memory cell using standard MOS logic [5 marks] (c) a dynamic memory cell for dense memory [5 marks] Explain the comparative merits of the three designs and explain where they might be used.

(a) Compare the nature of “guarantee” that is made in each and the time scale on which these are altered. [6 marks] (b) Compare where state resides in each case, and how much state there is. [3 marks] (c) Compare the number of control interactions that a core router in each architecture would engage in. [3 marks] (d) Compare the resource efficiency of each scheme in terms of link bandwidth. [Hint: consider single-ended Service-Level Agreements (SLAs).] [3 marks] (e) Describe the architecture of a core router in a DiffServ environment, recalling that each packet will have a Type of Service field describing its designated Per Hop Behaviour.

[Note: an open cylinder is one which has no end caps.] Having calculated the intersection point, how would you calculate the normal vector? [7 marks] (b) A non-rational B-spline has knot vector [1, 2, 4, 7, 8, 10, 12]. Derive the first of the third order (second degree) basis functions, N1,3(t), and graph it. If this knot vector were used to draw a third order B-spline, how many control points would be required? [7 marks] (c) Describe how an object built using constructive solid geometry (CSG) can be represented using a binary tree. Given the intersection points of a ray with each primitive in the tree, show how to calculate the first intersection point of the ray with the entire CSG object.
