What to hand in Submit your assignment electronically through D2L. Please make sure that the file that you submit is a word document.

Organization

A Command-Line Interpreter, or Shell

Your shell should read the line from standard input (i.e., interactive mode) or a file (i.e., batch mode), parse the line with command and arguments, execute the command with arguments, and then prompt for more input (i.e., the shell prompt) when it has finished. This is what Minor 2 program should do with addition of batch processing which means just reading a batch line by line and calling the same interpretation logic.

1. Batch Mode

In batch mode, your shell is started by specifying a batch file on its command line. The batch file contains the list of commands that should be executed. In batch mode, you should not display a prompt, but you should echo each line you read from the batch file back to the user before executing it. After a batch is finished the shell will exit.

1. Interactive Mode

No parameters specified on command line when the shell is started. In this mode, you will display a prompt (any string of your choice) and the user of the shell will type in a command at the prompt.

You will need to use the fork() and exec() family of system calls. You may not use the system() system call as it simply invokes the system’s /bin/bash shell to do all of the work. You may assume that arguments are separated by whitespace. You do not have to deal with special characters such as ‘, “, , etc. You may assume that the command-line a user types is no longer than 512 bytes (including the ‘n’), but you should not assume that there is any restriction on the number of arguments to a given command.

This week’s journal articles focus on empowering leadership and effective collaboration in geographically dispersed teams, please answer the following questions:

How do geographically dispersed teams collaborate effectively?

Please find at least three tools on the market that teams can use to collaborate on a geographically dispersed team. Please note the pros and cons of each tool. 

Based on the research above, note which tool you would select if you were managing the geographically dispersed team and why. 

Be sure to use the UC Library for scholarly research. Google Scholar is also a great source for research. Please be sure that journal articles are peer-reviewed and are published within the last five years.

The paper should meet the following requirements:

3-5 pages in length (not including title page or references)

APA guidelines must be followed. The paper must include a cover page, an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.

A minimum of five peer-reviewed journal articles.

The writing should be clear and concise. Headings should be used to transition thoughts. 

Build out the ERD diagrams for the entire solution based on the following questions (you must have at least 3 tables for full credit, there is no limit based on your simplification of the data. The simplification of the data should follow the in-class examples of data, with no duplication in tables)

Provide 

I. The MYSQL code (within the word document) to build the database and tables

II. The MYSQL code (within the word document) to answer each of the following questions

III. Provide screen shots answering each question along with any supporting text

The answers must be done in SQL, not table presentation and manual interpretation of the data

Questions :

1. What is the total revenue for the year? 

2. What is the gross profit for the year? (based only on what is in the tables)

3. How much revenue did each wine provide for the year?

4. What is the Average revenue per month per location for the year?

5. What is the final inventory of the Premium Red wine?

6. If the retail price of the wine increases by 10%, what is the gross profit margin ?

7. How many bottles of the different wines were ordered in July? 

8. What is the revenue per year per restaurant?

Knowledge and skills paper:

Graded Assignment:  Knowledge and Skills Paper

Paper Section 1: Reflection and Literature Review

Using Microsoft Word and Professional APA format, prepare a professional written paper supported with three sources of research that details what you have learned from chapters 7, 8, 9, and 10.  This section of the paper should be a minimum of two pages. 

Paper Section 2:  Applied Learning Exercises

In this section of the professional paper, apply what you have learned from chapters 7, 8, 9, and 10 to descriptively address and answer the problems below.  Important Note:  Dot not type the actual written problems within the paper itself.

1. Survey and compare and possibly test some text mining tools and vendors. Start with clearforest.com and megaputer.com. Also consult with dmreview.com to further identify some text mining products to explore and even test?
2. Survey and compare and possibly test some Web mining tools and vendors. Identify some Web mining products and service providers that could potentially be useful in a work environment you may want to be part of.
3. Investigate via a Web search how models and their solutions are used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the “war against terrorism.” Also investigate how other governments or government agencies are using models in their missions.
4. Search online to find vendors of genetic algorithms and investigate the business applications of their products and even possibly test them where applicable. What kinds of applications are most prevalent and why?
5. Important Note:  With limited time for a college class, perfection is not expected but effort to be exposed to various tools with attempts to learn about them is critical when considering a career in information technology associated disciplines.

Important Note:  There is no specific page requirement for this section of the paper but make sure any content provided fully addresses each problem.

Paper Section 3:  Conclusions

After addressing the problems, conclude your paper with details on how you will use this knowledge and skills to support your professional and or academic goals. This section of the paper should be around one page including a custom and original process flow or flow diagram to visually represent how you will apply this knowledge going forward.  This customized and original flow process flow or flow diagram can be created using the “Smart Art” tools in Microsoft Word.

Paper Section 4:  APA Reference Page

The three or more sources of research used to support this overall paper should be included in proper APA format in the final section of the paper.
