Research the ethical issues of self-driving cars and offer opinions based on findings.

Note:

need proper APA format

reference

 system design documents for traffic monitoring  system (logic, processes, structure, etc.). Use the techniques from your MSIS System Analysis, Modeling and Design.

 Minimum 600 words

This assignment should be in APA format and have to include at least two references.

As  you consider the reputation service and the needs of customers or  individual consumers, as well as, perhaps, large organizations that are  security conscious like our fictitious enterprise, Digital Diskus, what  will be the expectations and requirements of the customers? Will  consumers’ needs be different from those of enterprises? Who owns the  data that is being served from the reputation service? In addition, what  kinds of protections might a customer expect from other customers when  accessing reputations?

 There are many ways to misrepresent data through visualizations of data. There are a variety of websites that exist solely to put these types of graphics on display, to discredit otherwise somewhat credible sources. Leo (2019), an employee of The Economist, wrote an article about the mistakes found within the magazine she works for. Misrepresentations were the topic of Sosulski (2016) in her blog. This is discussed in the course textbook, as well (Kirk, 2016, p. 305).

After reading through these references use the data attached to this forum to create two visualizations in R depicting the same information. In one, create a subtle misrepresentation of the data. In the other remove the misrepresentation. Add static images of the two visualizations to your post. Provide your interpretations of each visualization along with the programming code you used to create the plots. Do not attach anything to the forum: insert images as shown and enter the programming code in your post.

When adding images to the discussion board, use the insert image icon.

This is the data to use for this post: Country_Data.csv

Before plotting, you must subset, group, or summarize this data into a much smaller set of points. Include your programming code for all programming work. It would be more likely that one would win a multi-million dollar lottery than plot the same information the same exact way. However, if you have, you will need to repost and make your post unique. The first post to provide the content does not need to change.

An example post:

The factual and misrepresented plots in this post are under the context that the visualizations represent the strength of the economy in five Asian countries: Japan, Israel, and Singapore, South Korea, and Oman. The gross domestic product is the amount of product throughput. GDP per capita is the manner in which the health of the economy can be represented.

The visual is provided to access the following research question:

How does the health of the economy between five Asian countries: Japan, Israel, and Singapore, South Korea, and Oman, compare from 1952 to 2011?

The plot on the left is the true representation of the economic health over the years of the presented countries. Japan consistently has seen the best economic health of the depicted countries. Singapore and South Korea both have large increases over the years, accelerating faster than the other countries in economic health. Oman saw significant growth in the years between 1960 and 1970, but the growth tapered off. All of the countries saw an increase in health over the provided time frame, per this dataset. Israel saw growth, but not as much as the other countries.

The plot on the right is only GDP and does not actually represent the economic health. Without acknowledging the number of persons the GDP represents, Japan is still the leading country over the time frame and within the scope of this dataset. Singapore’s metrics depict some of the larger issues of representing the GDP without considering the population. Instead of Singapore’s metrics depicting significant growth and having a level of health competitive with Japan in the true representation, Singapore has the fourth smallest GDP. It indicates that Singapore’s economy is one of the least healthy amongst the five countries.

The programming used in R to subset, create, and save the plots:

# make two plots of the same information - one misrepresenting the data and one that does not

# use Country_Data.csv data

# plots based on the assumption the information is provided to represent the health of the countries' economy compared to other countries

Week 4 Research Paper: Big Data and the Internet of Things

The recent advances in information and communication technology (ICT) has promoted the evolution of conventional computer-aided manufacturing industry to smart data-driven manufacturing. Data analytics in massive manufacturing data can extract huge business values while it can also result in research challenges due to the heterogeneous data types, enormous volume and real-time velocity of manufacturing data.

For this assignment, you are required to research the benefits as well as the challenges associated with Big Data Analytics for Manufacturing Internet of Things.

Your paper should meet these requirements:
