 Do research on one-or-two large software systems that were implemented successfully and on one-or-two large software systems that failed in their implementation. Write at least a 3-page Word document, double-spaced, detailing each system. Your paper should include a number of topic sections. Using the concept of A.D.D.I.E., create a section to discuss the A.-Analysis that went into the system, a section to discuss the D.-Design of the system, a section to discuss the D.-Development of the system, a section to discuss the I.- Implementation of the system (successful or failed) and a section to discuss the E.-Evaluation of the system (successful or failed). Provide the following: 1. An Introduction paragraph describing the assignment and a short description of the systems selected. 2. A section that describes the first Software System (with an appropriate section Heading) and a description of that Software System to include: a. What is its purpose? b. What operations it performs? c. What are its inputs (resources, interfaces, when used)? d. What are its outputs (interfaces, data)? e. The system’s complexity/cost/feasibility. f. Any constraints or risks found during the research. 3. Sections with details for each component of A.D.D.I.E. (with an appropriate section Heading) to include: a. Success or failures identified. b. Issues or findings identified. c. Recommendations or lessons learned. Your paper should then conclude with a Findings section the compares the two systems. Provide the following: 1. What made one system successful but make the other system fail. 2. What could have been done to make the failed system more successful. 3. What could have been done to make the successful system even more successful. You must include at least 3 scholarly references with citations.  

Review the attached file. Suzie has an issue. She can either move to NY or FL and needs to review some data that her agent gave her. The agent reviewed house prices and crime ratings for houses that Suzie would be interested in based on her selection criteria.  She wants to live in an area with lower crime but wants to know a few things:

Is it more expensive or less expensive to live in FL or NY?

Is the crime rate higher in FL or NY (Note a low score in crime means lower crime)?

Is the crime rate higher in lower or higher house price areas?

Using the R tool, show the data in the tool to answer each of the questions.  Also, show the data visualization to go along with the summary.

If you were Suzie, where would you move based on the questions above?

After you gave Suzie the answer above (to #4), she gave you some additional information that you need to consider:

She has $100,000 to put down for the house.

If she moves to NY she will have a job earning $120,000 per year.

If she moves to FL she will have a job earning $75,000 per year.

She wants to know the following:

On average what location will she be able to pay off her house first based on average housing prices and income she will receive?

Where should she move and why?  Please show graphics and thoroughly explain your answer here based on the new information provided above.

Coding Assignment # 5 – Recipe Hunter 

You are tasked with creating a Rails app that will display a recipe index based on a keyword entered. 

1. Create a rails app called recipe_hunter 

2. Generate RecipesController (recipes_controller.rb) that will have an index action 

3. The above-mentioned controller should check if a request parameter keyword was passed in. 

4. If it was – it should use it, and if not – it should use a default value of “chocolate” instead. 

5. Create a model, Recipe (recipe.rb) that will contain a for class method that will take a 

keyword to query and query the Recipe Puppy API. (You should already have the Recipe class 

from the previous assignment. Remember, that unlike the previous assignment – you will not 

need to require ‘httparty’ gem in your code, since loading HTTParty gem should be the Bundler’s 

job.) 

6. Create your view (with CSS – use your imagination) that might look something like this: 

7. I should be able to click on either the title or the thumbnail and go straight to the actual recipe 

(out there on the web). Look at image_tag helper for defining an img tag and use this helper 

as the first argument to link_to helper. 

8. Rails automatically escapes HTML in your strings (mainly to avoid XSS attacks 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross-site_scripting). Because of this – some of your titles will look 

wrong. 

Rails has a sanitize (or raw) helper that will help you display HTML characters properly 

9. Instead of having to go to http://localhost:3000/recipes/index all the time – you want this page 

to be the default. So, you should be able to go to http://localhost:3000/?keyword=apple%20pie 

and see the following 

Submission Guidelines 

1. Commit all the files to your local repo and push your repo out to your private team repo on 

github creating a remote branch called assignment5. 

2. For this assignment, it might make the most sense to work on a master branch of a newly 

created repo and then do $git push remote_alias_github

master:assignment5 to push it out to github. 

3. Deploy your homework to heroku (WARNING: Heroku only allows pushing to a remote master 

branch) using a URL pattern of jhu-spring17-teamX-recipes.herokuapp.com (where X is your 

team number). 

4. Feel free to include a README.txt with any comments, as well as your deployed assignment URL 

download the .ova file. download and install the virtual box tool.

open virtual box and import the ova file .

In this assignment you will work on the first steps of seizing and imaging an evidence disk. And create a well-organized report that has documentation with Text and Pictures about your work.

Write pseudocode for the 5 (five) problems for full credit. There are two ways to complete this quiz. One is to simply download the instructions file (docx) below and do your pseudocode code editing right into the instruction document. Then upload the edited Word file.The other is to type a separate document with your pseudocode and submit the newly created document. Make sure your pseudocode includes the problem descriptions. You get to pick your own poison. You DO NOT need to create C++ source code files for this assignment. Remember pseudocode is intended to be a description/roadmap for your program. Keep it simple but include enough information to define your plan. It is not supposed to look like code. Use the template sections. Purpose: Don’t just repeat the problem description. Think in terms of HOW you are going to do the job. Input: What values (if any) do you need from the user. You can also include known/defined values such as PI. Processing: Describe what processing/calculations need to be done Output: Results to be output. Text and/or calculated values.

Need help on Reflection.

The operation has been so successful in its two years of operation that the owners opened retreats in two additional locations. They now want to open another retreat so even more people can enjoy the exhilaration of nature in magnificent settings. They are meeting with officers of a venture capital corporation, that offers funding for unique opportunities. The representatives have asked for an overview of Bryce Adventure Camp’s philosophy, services and activities, sales for this year and last year, a year-to-year comparison, and charts showing the increase. The owners of Bryce Adventure Camp asked you for help in preparing the presentation for the meeting.

The bike shop that you outfitted with hardware, software, and operating system back in an earlier assignment has grown. Now the owners need you to use your knowledge of data storage and databases to manage this growth. Prepare a report in which you explain to the owner the options for data storage, database development, and data security and recommend an overall solution for the organization.

In your report, address the following:

• Explain the differences between in-house data storage and cloud storage.
• Describe the advantages of each storage method for a business organization.
• Explain the differences between databases and spreadsheets. 
  • Be sure to discuss what makes a database relational.
• Recommend a solution for data storage and system development. 
  • Support your recommendation based on a critical analysis of alternatives. For example, how would a database help to better manage the bike shop’s inventory, payroll, pricing, and expenses over spreadsheets?
• Describe best practices for database security and data backups.
• Cite authoritative sources to support assertions.
• Organize the report so ideas flow logically with smooth transitions.
