Part 1 – Paraphrasing

Paraphrase the two short paragraphs below using the techniques we learned in class (week 11 course pack / week 10 slides). DO NOT FORGET to cite the original author (Last name, Year) after your paraphrase from the reference information below.

Reference:

Wild, F. (2019, April 10). What Is Robonaut? NASA. https://www.nasa.gov/audience/forstudents/5-8/features/nasa-knows/what-is-robonaut-58.html

Paragraph 1 (2 points): Robonaut is a NASA robot. Engineers designed Robonaut to be humanoid, which means it is built to look like a person. This makes it easier for Robonaut to do the same jobs as a person. Robonaut could help with anything from working on the International Space Station to exploring other worlds.

Your paraphrase: 

Paragraph 2 (2 points): Robonaut can function in two ways. Software allows Robonaut to “think” for itself. The people who control R2 can give it a simple task to do and R2 can figure out how to do it. R2’s software can be updated to allow it to do new tasks. R2 can also be operated by remote control. An operator can use a headset to see what Robonaut sees through its cameras.

Your paraphrase:

Part 2 – Quoting (1 point)

Use the 5 parts of a quote (course pack week 11 pg. 59, and week 10 slides) to quote the underlined sentence from the paragraph below. (Use the same reference information from part 1, there is no page number)

Original Text: NASA is still deciding what the future holds for Robonaut. Robonaut will conduct more tests aboard the space station, and may even take its first steps. This testing would determine how well Robonaut could move around spacecraft environments to help astronauts. Robonaut’s designers even have ideas for sending a robot like Robonaut to future destinations like the Moon and Mars. If testing goes well, who knows where Robonaut—or a better robot based on Robonaut—could end up?

Your quote: 

Two programming for database and website creation.

Business case:  Hospital Patient processing system

You were tasked to improve the performance of the local hospital Patient processing system

There are three databases in the new IT system:

The patient database will record and authenticate each patient in the hospital

The employee database will record and authenticate each employee in the hospital

The ambulance database will record each ambulance

Database and Database management systems are on premises for all three (Patient, Employee, and Ambulance). Therefore, current data relating to patients and data related to Ambulances data will be on-premises.  Data related to Employees will be kept on the premises.  The hospital IT system will not keep old patient and Ambulance data on the premises.

Hospital managers would like

– Streamline the patient processing system (admitting and moving to room)

– Better response time for Ambulance to the emergencies

– Better service for the patient coming to the hospital with an Ambulance

– To be able to locate doctors when they are out of the hospital (for emergencies)

– Fast interaction with companies for medical equipment and supplies

QUESTION 1: List three applications of “web-accessible smart devices” in the new hospital that you would recommend for this business case.

QUESTION 2: How the cloud will influence future Operating Systems in the Severs of the Hospital IT system?   (Assume that the servers are in the Local Area networks in the hospital building)

QUESTION 3: How you can use location-aware applications in the new Hospital IT system?

QUESTION 4: How you could use cloud-enabled communication among smart devices in the new Hospital IT system?

 Write a program to calculate a bowling league’s average bowling scores. You will need to read the input data from the file”BowlingScore.txt” 

• ou must use three arrays:
  • a one-dimensional array to store the bowler’s names.
  • a (parallel) two-dimensional array to store the bowling scores.
  • a one-dimensional array to store the bowler’s average score.
• Your program must contain at least the following functions:
  • a function called GetBowlingData to read and store data into two arrays. The function should take as input parameters the file name and both empty arrays, which it should fill from the file “BowlingScore.txt”
  • return a status of either success or failure (i.e true or false). 
  • a function called GetAverageScore that is used to calculate the average bowling score. The function should take as input the populated arrays and return the average score of each bowler in a separate array.
  • a function called PrettyPrintResults to output the results, i.e. bowler name, scores and average.
• Don’t use Vectors or any other newfangled container, use only old school C arrays like in the book.
• Use repetition structures (loops) in your functions to perform calculations and printing. Remember “dimensions = loops”. So a 2 dimensional array will require 2 loops to completely iterate over all of the elements in the array.
• And as always, don’t use magic numbers. Instead use global constants at the top of the program under the includes.

An independent real estate firm that  specializes in home sales needs to create a database in which to store  its records. In the following project, you will open a database  containing information about the properties the real estate firm has  listed. You will work with a table in which to store agent information,  and then sort the table. You create a relationship between two tables  and enforce referential integrity. You also apply filters, sort a table,  and save the results.

Start   Access. Open the downloaded Access file named   Exp19_Access_Ch01_ML1_Home_Loans.accdb. Grader has automatically added your last name to   the beginning of the filename.

Open the Agents table in   Datasheet view, and add the following records letting Access assign the   AgentID number:

FirstName   LastName Title
Guillaume Picard Broker
   Keith Martin Agent
   Usa-chan Yang Agent
   Steven Dougherty Agent   in Training
   Rajesh Khanna Agent in Training
   Juan Rosario President

Sort the Age nts table by the LastName field in   ascending order.

Apply a selection filter so that   everyone with a title other than Agent   in Training displays. Save the changes to the table design and close the   Agents table.

Open the Properties table in   Design View. Change the data type for the specified fields as follows:

Field Name    Data   Type
   DateListed   Date/Time
   ListPrice   Currency
   SqFeet Number
   Beds Number
   Baths Number
   AgentID Number

Save the changes to the design   of the table. Access will alert you  that some of the data in the table may be   lost due to changing the  data type of the fields listed above. Click Yes then view the table in Datasheet   View.

Sort the records in the   Properties table by the ListPrice field from largest to smallest.

Use Filter by Form to create a   filter that will identify all properties with a list price less than $300,000 and with 2 beds. Apply the filter and   preview the filtered table. Close the table and save the changes.

Close all database objects.   Close the database and then exit Access. Submit the database as directed.

Week 3 Discussion — Corporate Growth Strategies

Week 3 Class Discussion topic comes from — Chapter Two “Corporate Strategy Decisions and Their marketing Implications”

One of the highlights Chapter Two discusses is on corporate growth strategies. To determine where future growth is coming from, corporate management must decide on a strategy out of following two major directions:

• Expansion of its current businesses and activities
• Diversification into new businesses, either through internal business development or acquisition

To better understand these two conceptes, we continue to use “Samsung — Changing Strategies to Build A Global Brand” for our “Week 3 Discussion”.

This class expects you to contribute two times:

Your contribution one — answer one question only out of four questions below after your study Chapter Two —

Question #1  “Expansion by Increasing Penetration of Current Product-Markets,”  is this a strategy Samsung has used? Explain why or why not.

Question #2  “Expansion by Developing New Products for Current Customers,” is this a strategy Samsung has used? Explain why or why not.

Question #3  “Expansion by Selling Existing Products to New Segments or Countries,” is this a strategy Samsung has used? Explain why or why not.

Question #4  “Diversification to Become a Conglomerate,” is this a strategy Samsung has used? Explain why or why not.

• You are the first person to answer any one of above four questions, given you list the question you choose to response first, followed by your answer.
• Otherwise, you will not receive a full 2 points.

Your contribution two — comment on one of your classmates’ posting about his/her contribution one.

• What is artificial intelligence and why do we need it in our chipsets?
• How will AI change the way chips are designed and manufactured?
• How will the architecture of modern chips be changed by artificial intelligence?
• What challenges must chipmakers overcome to incorporate AI into their products?
• How will consumers benefit from this technological advancement?
• Are there any potential risks associated with using AI in chipsets?
• How will AI shape the future of the semiconductor industry?

Project Risk Management then review the material below and follow the instructions
Assignment Overview:
You will create a Project Risk Register using the provided

Risk Register template                  Download Risk Register template              

for an IT infrastructure project.  This assignment  is a true Exercise and the project is not associated with or  based on Case Study material in the textbook, but on the following  scenario:
Your IT consulting firm (NetScan, LLC) was contracted to install the  IT infrastructure (cabling, servers, workstations, wireless APs, other  hardware, software, network equipment, and internet connectivity) in a  new, 20,000 sq. ft. building for Blue Suit Consulting.  The initial  build-out includes 15 offices and a data center on a single floor with  the building being ready to start the installation 4 months from now.   Your CIO budgeted $32,000.00 for the project and expects completion in 3  months. 
Your Assignment:   As a team, develop an initial Risk Register for this project. 
As you have learned in the preceding weeks, there are many aspects of  managing a project, and risks can arise in any of them.  For this  assignment, it is recommended that each team member focus on identifying  events that could occur that would impact one of these aspects:
Schedule – you have two target dates in the above description Budget  – how far does $32,000 go?  (Note:  your project is only to INSTALL the  infrastructure, your client, Blue Suit Consulting, will pay for the  equipment and materials) Staffing – you will need a team.  What can go wrong? Stakeholder Management – you have a client to keep happy… Communication Management – Where are the risks to your communication plan? Procurement – Blue Suit is paying, but what can go wrong in the purchasing process? Quality – what events or factors can result in unacceptable quality? Integration – all of the above need to integrate and stay in synch.

****Just need to fill out risk factor in a project in above provided template with an example provided. You must find at least 15 risk factors and solutions of project explained above****
