Q5) a) A window in a window management system can be displayed in one
of the three states : maximized, where it takes up the entire screen;
normal, where it is displayed as a bordered window with a given size
and position on the screen; and iconized where it is displayed as a
small icon. When a window is opened, it will be displayed as a normal
window, unless minimize on use has been selected, in which case it
will be displayed as an icon. A normal window and an icon can be
maximized; a maximized window and a normal window can be
minimized, or reduced to an icon. Maximized windows can be restored
to their normal size, and icons can be restored to the size they had
before they were minimized. Icons and normal windows can be moved,
and normal windows can also be resized. No matter how it is displayed,
a window can always be closed. Draw a state diagram expressing these
facts about the display of windows. [12]

Q6) An information system is to be designed for a car rental company. Potential
customers phone up the company for advice and information. The booking
clerks field all calls. Many interested parties remain anonymous, because
their personal data is not registered. Customers reserve cars. Reservation
and customer data are accepted by the booking clerks and entered into the
reservation system. The customer is given a reservation number. Drivers
collect reserved cars at the branch office. Some customers are companiers
and therefore they will send a particular driver to pick up a car. The
customer service clerk takes the agreement from the customer file, checks
the details and amends the agreement if necessary. The vehicle documents
and keys are hander over to the driver. On return the cars are parked in the
return car park and the keys and vehicle documents are received back
from the driver. Before the driver is permitted to leave, the car is checked
over for any damage.
