by
A. Observe and React
B. Environmental Control
C. Embedded System
D. Process Pipeline

Frameworks are an effective approach to reuse, but are _____________ to introduce into software development processes.

by
A. difficult
B. expensive
C. unreliable
D. difficult and expensive

An example of a system that may use a process pipeline is a _________________________?

by
A. High-speed data acquisition system
B. Failure of a power supply in an embedded system
C. Both High-speed data acquisition system AND Failure of a power supply in an embedded system
D. None of the mentioned
✅ The correct answer is option A.
Explanation: Data acquisition systems collect data from sensors for subsequent processing and analysis. These systems are used in situations where the sensors are collecting a lot of data from the system’s environment and it isn’t possible or necessary to process that data in real time.

Which of the following is represented as an aspect that requests a login name and password ?

by
A. Class
B. Object
C. User authentication
D. All of the mentioned
✅ The correct answer is option C.
Explanation: User authentication may be represented as an aspect that requests a login name and password. This can be automatically woven into the program wherever authentication is required.

Which frameworks support the development of system infrastructures such as communications, user interfaces, and compilers ?

by
A. Middleware integration frameworks
B. System infrastructure framework
C. Enterprise application frameworks
D. Web application frameworks
✅ The correct answer is option B.

Which of the following is a category of a stimuli ?

by
A. Periodic stimuli
B. Software stimuli
C. Hardware stimuli
D. Management stimuli
✅ The correct answer is option A.
Explanation: Periodic stimuli occur at predictable time intervals. For example, the system may examine a sensor every 50 milliseconds and take action depending on that sensor value.
