ICT Applications

Computers can be used in different applications to control a process, to simply gather data (measurement only) or to mimic a human expert (expert systems).
Write whether the above applications use Control, Measurement (only) or Expert system.
(Give numbers to your answer. 
For example: 1) Control)

Measurement systems can use sensors. The computer cannot read the data directly from the sensor. Explain how a device can be used to enable the computer to read the data from the sensor.

A home is fitted with a microprocessor-controlled burglar alarm system. It is not connected to a police station.

Write three sensors which would be used in such a system.

Describe how a microprocessor-controlled burglar alarm system operates, referring to those sensors you identified in previous question.

Describe the advantages of using computer modelling to replicate (simulate) the functions of a real system?

The city of Venice is in danger of being damaged due to rising sea levels.

A new computer controlled flood defense system is being planned.

The developers of the system are using a spreadsheet to model the plan.

Give three reasons why computer models are used to simulate the flood defense system.
