 While this weeks topic highlighted the uncertainty of Big Data, the author identified the following as areas for future research. Pick one of the following for your Research paper.:  Additional study must be performed on the interactions between each big data characteristic, as they do not exist separately but naturally interact in the real world. The scalability and efficacy of existing analytics techniques being applied to big data must be empirically examined. New techniques and algorithms must be developed in ML and NLP to handle the real-time needs for decisions made based on enormous amounts of data. More work is necessary on how to efficiently model uncertainty in ML and NLP, as well as how to represent uncertainty resulting from big data analytics. Since the CI algorithms are able to find an approximate solution within a reasonable time, they have been used to tackle ML problems and uncertainty challenges in data analytics and process in recent years. Your paper should meet the following requirements:  • Be approximately 3-5 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.  • Follow APA guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.  • Support your response with the readings from the course and at least five peer-reviewed articles or scholarly journals to support your positions, claims, and observations. The UC Library is a great place to find resources. 

Describe how IT (Information Technology) /IS (Information Systems) can be used to resolve a management issue in your business organization. Please provide examples.

1. Find a peer-reviewed scholarly journal article discussing blockchain technology. Complete a review of the article by writing a 4-5 page overview of the article. This will be a detailed summary of the journal article, including concepts discussed and findings. Additionally, find one other source (it does not have to be a peer-reviewed journal article) that substantiates the findings in the article you are reviewing. 
   You should use the UC library (https://www.ucumberlands.edu/library) and/or Google Scholar to find these types of articles (https://scholar.google.com/ )
   Once you find the article, you will read it and write a review of it.  This is considered a research article review.
   Your paper should meet these requirements: 
   • Be approximately three to four pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

Respond to each question below. Remember to cover all aspects of the question. 

1. Successful security architecture needs upper management to support effective security standards and protocols. However, there are possible disadvantages to upper management involvement. List and describe the tradeoffs in the business between rigorous security and delivering products to customers. Go beyond merely the automated solutions or the technical checks that can be done without much human support.

2. Examine how capturing, standardizing, applying patterns, and standard solutions help to increase efficiency and maintain delivery teams’ velocity. Provide at least 3 real-world examples which describe and examine how they provide the velocity. Do not simply provide a list of things teams can do but for each idea, define the idea and explain its relevance. 

3. Schoenfield lists several components of a successful security architecture practice, such as broad support across the organization, recruitment, and training of security architects with the right kind of aptitude and interest, effective security requirements that enhance but do not slow down the innovation process, and finally, indicators that the security architecture team is being well utilized and adding value to project development. Describe what each of these components is and explain how each is relevant to security development. Include detail and examples.

Knowledge Management

Carefully review and use either of the book options below as a reference for various aspects of knowledge management.

• Sharda, R., Delen, D., & Turban, E. (2015) Business intelligence and analytics: Systems for decision support (10th ed.). Boston: Pearson. Print: ISBN-13: 978-0-13-305090-5
• Sharda, R., Delen, D., & Turban, E. (2020) Analytics, data science, & artificial intelligence: Systems for decision support (11th ed.). Boston: Pearson. Print: ISBN-13: 978-0-13-519201-6
• Important Note:  All students are welcome to use outside research in aspects of knowledge management.

After reading and analyzing content from book references and or from outside research, consider respond to the task and case below.

Make a list of all the knowledge management methods you use during your day (work and personal). Which are the most effective? Which are the least effective? What kinds of work or activities does each knowledge management method enable?

Now think about methods to communicate this knowledge using various methods of communications in major work environments and investigate the impact of turning off every communication system in a firm (i.e., telephone, fax, television, radio, all computer systems). How effective and efficient would the following types of firms be: airline, bank, insurance company, travel agency, department store, grocery store? What would happen? Do customers expect 100 percent uptime? (When was the last time a major airline’s reservation system was down?) How long would it be before each type of firm would not be functioning at all? Investigate what organizations are doing to prevent this situation from occurring.

Pinto – Case Study 14.1 (516-517) – New Jersey Kills Hudson River Tunnel Project

Note if you already did this case study in a prior course you can instead complete another journal article review instead (on an article that you haven’t done a review on previously – be sure to relate it to a topic from the course).

This assignment involves that the student read the case study and answer all questions at the end of the case study in a 4-5 page paper. Your answers must include substantial support from at least two (2) scholarly journal articles on project management. See below for advice on how to find these journal articles. Refer to the course schedule matrix for due dates for all case assignments. All case study assignments are due at 11:59 p.m. EST (Sunday) on the assigned week.

This course requires that the student is able to conduct weekly online library research by utilizing UC’s Library (online) in order to locate scholarly journals such that the student can successfully complete weekly papers regarding cases and/or articles in project management, and such that the student can engage in the weekly assignments.  The following is one example of how to navigate iLearn and the online Library in order to conduct research:

Log onto your course on iLearn

Go to the home page for this course

Click on the “Library Resources” icon in the left-hand column of this webpage, This will open the Library webpage.

Under the search boxes for the UC Mega Search click the box to the left of the phrase Scholarly (Peer Reviewed) Articles. Then click the Search box.

This will give you a Basic Search page. Under the Search boxes click Advanced Search.

The Advanced Search will appear with three (3) search boxes.

In the first box type “project management”

Change the “Select a Field (optional)” selection to “SO Journal Source/Title”.

In the second box type any of your search terms (“scope”, monitoring”, etc.)

Change the “Select a Field (optional)” to “TX All Text”.

You can either add an additional search term in the third box or hit the blue Search button.

This will bring up a large selection of potential articles based upon your search parameters. You can narrow down your search by using additional search terms.

 Every paper typed in this course should be in APA formatting (title page, reference page, NO abstract page, in-text citations, running head, page numbers, Times New Roman 12 font, 1 inch margins, double-spacing, etc…).  Points will be deducted for papers that are not typed in APA formatting.  Also, every paper in this course needs to be based on research from a scholarly source that is retrieved from UC’s Library.  Your weekly research papers should include two sources, the textbook and the scholarly case/article that you found.  Papers that are not based on a scholarly source(s) will receive a grade of “0.”   

write a short research paper for a peer-reviewed research paper that pertains to the week’s assigned reading.  This will be a detailed summary of the research paper and what you gained from the research. If you have a difficult time, Google Scholar is a wonderful location to find these types of articles:

https://scholar.google.com/

Once you find the article, you will simply read it and then write a review of it.  Think of it as an article review where you submit a short overview of the article.

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately 2-3 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page.

• Follow APA6 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. 

• Be clearly and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

*All outside sources must be referenced and cited in your paper.  All papers will be reviewed with a plagiarism software. Any references not properly referenced and cited will result in a 0 on your paper. Multiple violations will result in a failure.
