This week our topic shifts to working with data.  In this week’s discussion post, please note a system that you work with frequently that has a major data component.  Note the type of data, how the data is managed and maintained, and any other important factors regarding the data in the system.

Please respond with 250-300 words with references In APA format

The students in the class will again become the instructor’s employees and, given the following unfair requirements, must recommend the programming language for a new core team at CIS Inc.

Our company, CIS Inc., needs to standardize on a single programming language because senior management thinks the increased synergy will be amazing for productivity. As the lead of our different hardware and programming teams, your job is to recommend the correct programming language. Here is some information about our company:

We are a startup focused on developing applications designed to run on RISC-V (64 bit), ARM64, POWER9 (LE, 64 bit), and AMD64 processor architectures. The machines will have 128MB– 28GB of RAM available and will primarily run Linux, but the ARM64 and AMD64 architectures will also run Windows 10.

Our applications are managed through web interfaces via client computers with Edge, Chrome, Safari, and Firefox as the target browsers.

Our applications must be optimized to run at peak performance on the selected hardware, so please make sure the selected programming language can be compiled to machine language or a similar performing microcode. (C, C++, Objective C, C#, Visual Basic#, J#, Java, Python, Dotnet, Perl, and other languages are capable, too; these are not recommendations or limitations.)

With this information, research different programming languages and submit a two-to-three-page, 12-point font, double-spaced recommendation of which programming language our company should standardize on.

Parameters:

• 12-point font
• Double-spaced
• 2 to 3 pages

Descriptive research proposal on Vision in Robotics

The purpose of this assignment is to help you identify essential elements of research studies. As such, the items required in the  assignment are gauged on a performance and nonperformance scale only. In other words, you will be graded based on your ability to locate and articulate an understanding of six core items and provide the information in a formal paper using APA style and format.

You will prepare an evaluation of the Doherty, Ashurst, and Peppard article (linked in Resources).

The six core elements in the article are:

1. Problem Statement.      
   • Describe the problem under examination.
   • Describe how the problem represents some gap in the knowledge base.
2. Academic Justification.      
   • Describe the authors’ justification for researching the problem.
3. Literature Review.      
   • Provide a summary of the critical authors writing in the field as identified by the authors of the article.
4. Research Questions.      
   • Provide the specific research question or questions of the study.
5. Methodological Choice.      
   • Describe the methodological choice (for example, qualitative or  quantitative case study) and the justification of the methodology.
6. Discussion.      
   • Explain the key findings for the research study.
   • Explain how the limitations of the study can be a springboard for future research.

Assignment Requirements

Your paper must meet these minimum requirements:

• Each of the six core elements is addressed and accompanied by appropriate APA citations.
• Written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message.
• Layout, writing, resources, and citations are formatted according to current edition APA style and format.
• Cover page, body of paper, and resource or reference list in an MS Word document are included.
• The paper contains 3–5 double-spaced pages, excluding the cover page and reference list.
• The type is set in 12-point Times New Roman.

  Research Apple Home Pod. How does it interact with smart home devices?  Alexa is now connected to smart home devices such as thermostats and microwaves. Find examples of other appliances that are connected to Alexa and write a report. 

Compare and contrast two difference cloud computing services (Amazon Web Service and Microsoft Azure). Explain the differences and the similarities and select your choice of providers if you had to make the decision for your business. Write up a comparison on the services offered (2 pages maximum). Once again, it is essential that you use your own words (do not just copy and paste from the Internet).

Assignment Description

You are the lead human–computer interaction (HCI) engineer on a major design project for an organization of your choice. Employees or customers will use this new system and user interface (UI) design to perform data entry for the organization. The UI will need to provide the required input and output to characterize the type of data collected by the organization.

Choose an organization, such as a business, nonprofit group, government, or another organization. Provide a description of your chosen organization, including the following:

• Name of the organization
• Business type
• Size of the organization
• Planned users for the interface
• Type of data that must be captured
• The use of the data

Part of your job is to elicit and define the UI requirements for this new design.

Write a neatly-formatted report that includes the following:

• Title page
• Report of 4–6 pages consisting of the following:
  • Introduction to the contents of the report
  • Description of the organization, as detailed above
  • Identification of the following elements that must be included in this UI design for the organization:
    • Fields you expect to see in this UI screen design (e.g., menus, data entry screens, boxes, help, fields, drop-down menus)
    • List of requirements that will ensure that this interface design can easily capture data input in multiple languages
    • Explanation of interface alternatives that will be needed for different language orientations (e.g., different characters for right and left)
  • Effective conclusion
• References must be properly cited in APA style
