What does a peer review process look like?

When does an assessment require a peer review?

Who should perform the peer review?

Provide a 500 word (or 2 pages double spaced) minimum reflection.

Application security course

Watch this video about Joseph Shumpeter’s concept of Creative Destruction. For example, many think that the introduction of self-driving cars will disrupt the job market for drivers. 

Use at least three sources.   Use the Research Databases available from the Danforth Library, not Google.  Include at least 3 quotes from your sources enclosed in quotation marks and cited in-line by reference to your reference list.  Example: “words you copied” (citation) These quotes should be one full sentence not altered or paraphrased. Cite your sources using APA format. Use the quotes in your paragaphs.

Copying without attribution or the use of spinbot or other word substitution software will result in a grade of 0. 

Write in essay format not in bulleted, numbered or other list format. 

1. Define data mining. Why are there many names and definitions for data mining?

2. What are the main reasons for the recent popularity of data mining?

3. Discuss what an organization should consider before making a decision to purchase data mining software.

4. Distinguish data mining from other analytical tools and techniques.

5. Discuss the main data mining methods. What are the fundamental differences among them?

6. Visit teradatauniversitynetwork.com. Identify case studies and white papers about data mining. Describe recent developments in the field of data mining and predictive modeling

 You are asked to locate any company privacy policy. Some of the more popular ones might include GOOGLE, APPLE, or MICROSOFT, but you may elect to review another agency.Explain what you find to be the most interesting information contained in that privacy policy. At the end of your report, please include a LINK to the policy you have reviewed. 

Set up your project with the given starting code. The files should compile and run, but either no tests will be run, or tests will run but be failing. 2. For this project, start by uncommenting the first TEST_CASE in the assg10-tests.cpp file. These are the unit tests to test the functionality of your PriorityQueue enqueue() function, the class and overridden member function you are to implement. 3. Add the PriorityQueue class to the Queue.hpp header file. The class should inherit from LQueue and override the enqueue() method as described in more detail below. 4. Add a stub for your enqueue() member function to the assg07-stackfun.cpp implementation file. You could start by doing nothing, or by copying the code of the enqueue() function from the LQueue class. 5. Your code should compile and run now. Make sure after adding the class and your stub method your code compiles and runs. However, your unit tests will be failing initially. 6. Incrementally implement the functionality of your enqueue() member function. You should try to add no more than 2 or 3 lines of code, and then make sure your program still compiles and runs. Start by adding code to get the first failing test to pass. Then once that test passes, move on to the next failing tests until you have all tests passing. If you write something that causes a previously passing test to fail, you should stop and figure out why, and either fix it so that the original test still passes, or remove what you did and try a new approach. 7. Once you have the enqueue() member function implemented and all unit tests passing, you should then move on to the other functions in the order suggested. Some functions use previous ones in this assignment, so do them in the order given for you in the tasks below.

Question 1: Compare and contrast predictive analytics with prescriptive and descriptive analytics. Use examples.

Question 2: Discuss the process that generates the power of AI and discuss the differences between machine learning and deep learning.

word content of 200-300 words to each question and copy the Post into a Word doc. 

 Intellectual property vs. the Internet.

Intellectual property still exists in the age of the Internet and is still protected under the law. However, since it is possible to download or copy and paste almost anything off the Internet intellectual property has been abused more and more often. There have been numerous examples of literary prizes awarded and then rescinded over plagiarism and theft of intellectual property.  Currently China is open and above board about acquiring intellectual property. The government of China will not allow any company, particularly American companies, to conduct business in their country unless the company agrees to give up any intellectual property regarding the products they sell in China. Younger students today don’t think there is anything wrong with copying information off the Internet and presenting it as their own work. I have had discussions with students in which they proposed the idea that since they searched for the information on the Internet and then found it, they could copy it and present it as their own work. The concept of intellectual property seems to be falling by the wayside due to the Internet. Develop a hypothesis as to whether we should continue or even strengthen intellectual property laws, or should we simply abandon intellectual property laws and make anything that is posted on the Internet fair game.

Maintaining compliance with laws and regulations in a complex IT environment is difficult. The vast array of regulations a company must comply with is constantly increasing and changing.  Each state has its own set of laws and regulations that indicate who is covered by the law & what event triggers consumer notifications.  Laws which require notifying consumers of data breaches are a good example of conflicting rules.  

1. Discuss the importance of collaboration and policy compliance across business areas

2. How can penetration testing be used to help ensure compliance?
