Explanation: SOA is a design pattern based on distinct pieces of software providing application
functionality as services to other applications. The key components include a service provider,
service requestor, and service broker.
A) pricing
B) SLA
C) data
D) service
Explanation: XML (eXtensible Markup Language) is designed to store and transport data. It
focuses on what data is and is used to encode documents in a format that is both human-
readable and machine-readable.
3. SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) does not restrict the endpoint implementation
technology choices. SOAP is a platform-neutral choice.
A) True
B) False
6. Customized wearable devices for collecting health parameters are the best examples of
__________.
A) IoHT
B) Fog device
C) Fog-Cloud interfaced
D) Cloud-Fog-Edge-IoHT
Explanation: Wearable devices, such as fitness trackers and smartwatches, are part of the
Internet of Things (IoT) ecosystem, designed to collect and exchange data over the internet.
A) dependant
B) independent
C) partial dependant
D) none of these
Explanation: Dew Computing involves leveraging local (on-premises) resources that can
operate independently but still collaborate with cloud-based services for enhanced
functionality.
A) UDDI
B) SLA
C) HTTP
D) XML
Explanation: SOAP typically uses HTTP as its transport protocol, making it easy to pass through
firewalls and proxies without modification.
9. Virtual Machine Monitor is also known as __________.
A) Cluster Manager
D) Hypervisor
Explanation: A Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM), or hypervisor, is software that creates and runs
virtual machines. It abstracts the physical hardware to provide virtual hardware to each VM.
Explanation: SAX (Simple API for XML) is a common API used for parsing XML documents. It is
event-driven and provides a mechanism for parsing XML documents in a memory-efficient way.
