Project part 1

Finance and Insurance (Choice of industry)

Your final project paper is broken down into 4 parts, worth a total of 125 points towards your final grade. 

This milestone is worth 25 points.

For this piece of that assignment, you will write the introduction to your final portfolio project (1 Page), comprehensively describing the industry you are choosing to use in the paper and preliminary challenges with information governance that you have identified.

 Be sure to utilize 2-3 sources from the UC Library.

Review the instructions in the Final Paper document first (attached here). Each milestone is a separate writing assignment, leading up to the Final Paper. 

Expectations are that it will be a scholarly work, using largely peer-reviewed resources, formatted to APA 7 style. Grammar, spelling, and punctuation are significantly weighted.

Assignmnet

1. Discuss the key components of human resource management.  Pick at least four concepts from chapter nine and describe how these concepts interrelate to individual performance on a team.

2. Review table 9.2 and select one of the dimensions listed, note why it was chosen and how you relate to this behavior.  If you have a personal experience, please share.

3. How do leaders select the best talent? What are some tools they can use to select the best-talent?

Only 300 words of total   100 words each

Provide a reflection of at least 500 words (or 2 pages double spaced) of how the knowledge, skills, or theories of this course have been applied, or could be applied, in a practical manner to your current work environment. If you are not currently working, share times when you have or could observe these theories and knowledge could be applied to an employment opportunity in your field of study. 

Requirements:

Provide a 500 word (or 2 pages double spaced) minimum reflection.

Use of proper APA formatting and citations. If supporting evidence from outside resources is used those must be properly cited.

Share a personal connection that identifies specific knowledge and theories from this course.

Demonstrate a connection to your current work environment. If you are not employed, demonstrate a connection to your desired work environment. 

You should not, provide an overview of the assignments assigned in the course. The assignment asks that you reflect how the knowledge and skills obtained through meeting course objectives were applied or could be applied in the workplace. 

 Don’t forget that the grade also includes the quality of writing.

in c program

Write a solution for the producer/consumer problem using processes instead of threads. Refer to the solution worked out in the demo and make sure you fully understand what is going on there before beginning this one (source file is attached to this assignment). Turn in all code and a text file called README containing instructions for building and running your programs. All programs must compile and run on os.cs.siue.edu. Descriptions of functions listed below in bold can be found in the man pages (e.g. man fork), though sometimes you may need to specify the correct section of the manual to get the correct page (e.g. man 3 printf). Approach the homework in phases and incrementally grow your solution: start with process creation (e.g. if there’s one producer and one consumer specified, one process -the parent- will fork two others, a producer program and a consumer program), then move on to shared memory stuff (making sure that the children can read what the parent is placing in there), and only then finish up the producer/consumer portion (pretty much the same as the threaded version).

Use the following functions for process creation, etc:

fork – create a new process

execlp – replace current process image with a new process image (i.e. execute a file)

waitpid – allows parent to wait for a child with specified pid

Use the following functions for sharing stuff between processes:

shm_open – create a named chunk of shared memory

ftruncate – to change the size of the named chunk of shared memory

mmap – to map the shared memory chunk into current process’ address space

Example:

Let’s say you want to share a struct, like:

typedef struct shared{

   int some_int_to_share;

   int some_other_int_to_share;

   …

}shared;

In the parent process (the one that starts everything):

int fd = shm_open(“prodconshare”, O_CREAT | O_RDWR, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR);

ftruncate(fd, sizeof(shared));

shared* sharedstruct = mmap(NULL, sizeof(shared), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

In the child process it is similar, but the child process would not create the named chunk if it doesn’t exist and the child process has no need to resize the chunk (so, no ftruncate):

int fd = shm_open(“prodconshare”, O_RDWR, S_IRUSR | S_IWUSR);

shared* sharedstruct = mmap(NULL, sizeof(shared), PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);

Use the following functions to synchronize the producers and consumers:

sem_init – initialize a semaphore

sem_wait – decrement a semaphore

sem_post – increment a semaphore

(remember that decrementing a semaphore below zero will put the calling process to sleep and sem_post will have to be called by another process to wake it up. You might think about stuffing some semaphores into the shared memory, using a struct to arrange the shared memory chunk’s contents.)

The producers can exit when they’ve produced their whole string, e.g. “hello world”.

For simplicity, the consumers may run indefinitely and be terminated with ctrl+c.

Other useful functions:

malloc – allocate memory

sizeof – get the size of things

printf – print stuff

perror – print error stuff

Trees and Tags

Complete a program that is designed to read an XMl file, follow an XPath to a selected node, and then list all of the text content (ignoring attributes) in the subtree rooted at the selected node, in the order that the text appeared within the original XML file.

You will be provided with the bulk of the code for this program, including the input processing to read XML and convert it into a tree structure (declared in node.h).

Your task is to supply the functions declared in extraction.h:

  1. A function to walk the tree starting from its root, following an XPath to a desired node.
  2. A function to extract all of the text (in the leaves of the tree) in the tree, combining it into a single string with one or more blanks separating the text strings from different nodes.

Your bodies for these functions should be written in extraction.cpp.

To run the application program, supply two command line parameters. The first will designate an XML file and the second will be the XPath to the desired node.

Example 1

./xmlextract test0.html /html/body

will print

Hello world!

Example 2

./xmlextract test1.html /html/body/p[2]

will print

world!

Example 3

./xmlextract books1.xml /rdf:RDF/pgterms:etext/dc:creator

will print

Twain, Mark, 1835-1910

Example 4

./xmlextract books1.xml /rdf:RDF/pgterms:etext[3]

will print
