galleries keep their unique name, address, the total amount of dollars they have
spent in the gallery (very important!), and the artists and groups of art that each
customer tends to like.

selected from Vignan Computer Sciences Department. Your first task is to organize
the information about all the airplanes that are stationed and maintained at the airport.
The relevant information is as follows:
a. Every airplane has a registration number, and each airplane is of a specific
model.
b. The airport accommodates a number of airplane models, and each model is
identified by a model number (e.g., DC-10) and has a capacity and a weight.

EMPID, address, phone number, and salary of each technician.
d. Each technician is an expert on one or more plane model(s), and his or her
expertise may overlap with that of other technicians. This information about
technicians must also be recorded.

6. Consider a “14th ICCCNT 2023” conference database in which researchers submit

their research papers for consideration. Reviews by reviewers are recorded for use in
the paper selection process. The database system caters primarily to reviewers who
record answers to evaluation questions for each paper they review and make
recommendations regarding whether to accept or reject the paper. The data
requirements are summarized as follows:
a. Authors of papers are uniquely identified by e-mail id. First and last names are
also recorded. Each paper is assigned a unique identifier by the system and is
described by a title, abstract, and the name of the electronic file containing the
paper.
b. A paper may have multiple authors, but one of the authors is designated as the
contact author. Reviewers of papers are uniquely identified by e-mail address.
Each reviewer’s first name, last name, phone number, affiliation, and topics of
interest are also recorded.
c. Each paper is assigned between two and four reviewers. A reviewer rates each
paper assigned to him or her on a scale of 1 to 5 in four categories: technical
merit, readability, originality, and relevance to the conference. Finally, each
reviewer provides an overall recommendation regarding each paper.
d. Each review contains two types of written comments: one to be seen by the
review committee only and the other as feedback to the author(s).
T1: Design an entity–relationship diagram for the “14th ICCCNT 2023” conference
database and build the design using a data modeling tool such as ERwin or Rational
Rose.

a. Each movie is identified by title and year of release. Each movie has a length
of minutes.
b. Each has a production company, and each is classified under one or more
genres (such as horror, action, drama, and so forth). Each movie has one or

outline. Finally, each movie has zero or more quotable quotes, each of which
is spoken by a particular actor appearing in the movie.
c. Actors are identified by name and date of birth and appear in one or more
movies. Each actor has a role in the movie.
d. Directors are also identified by name and date of birth and direct one or more
movies. It is possible for a director to act in a movie (including one that he or
she may also direct).

9. Assume we have the following application that models soccer teams, the games they
play, and the players in each team. In the design, we want to capture the following:
a. We have a set of teams, each team has an ID (unique identifier), name, and to
which city this team belongs and stadium.
b. Each team has many players, and each player belongs to one team. Each player
has a number (unique identifier), name, DoB, start year, and jersey number.
c. Teams play matches, in each match there is a host team and a guest team. The
match takes place in the stadium of the host team.
d. For each match we need to keep track of the following:
i. The date on which the game is played.
ii. The result of the match
iii. The players participated in the match. For each player, how many goals
he scored, whether he took the yellow card or the red card.
iv. During the match, one player may substitute another player. We want
to capture this substitution and the time at which it took place.
e. Each match has exactly three referees. For each referee, we have an ID (unique
identifier), name, DoB, and years of experience. One referee is the main
referee and the other two are assistant referees.
