space

TRUE FALSE

2. GIS analyst spends much more time on creation than on verification a model

 TRUE FALSE

3. In a GIS attribute information and spatial information are linked to each other 

TRUE FALSE

Mini Paper

 My Topic is a:- a comparison of authentication mechanisms

 Research topic.  You must  include at least four primary, peer-reviewed sources in your  bibliography.  Additional sources of varying standards can also be used.   However, these four must be specifically cited.  An un-cited source  should not appear in your bibliography.

A primary source is the original material. If you are directly  quoting the words of an author, that is usually a primary source.  However, if you are quoting a paraphrase from an author (known because  the author is making a citation), then you should find the original  document they are paraphrasing and then quote or paraphrase the  original.

  • Peer-reviewed means that experts in the field have vetted the ideas,  methods, and conclusions to determine its suitability for publication.

  • Use the library databases, Google Scholar, and Wikipedia to locate  these primary sources (i.e. see what Wikipedia cites, or what papers are  listed as often cited in Google Scholar). Ensure that they are from  peer reviewed sources (such as ACM, IEEE, etc.) and not from trade  publications (such as eWeek, PC Magazine, etc.) Wikipedia is not a  primary source — you can use it, but it will not count as one of the  four peer reviewed primary sources.

  • Write a 4 to 6 page research paper on your topic.  The page count  excludes any figures, tables, pictures, title page, front-matter,  back-matter, appendices, or bibliographic references. In other words,  there should be 4 to 6 pages of double-spaced prose.

  • Proofread your assignment carefully.  Improper English grammar,  sentence structure, punctuation, or spelling will result in significant  point deductions.

Project Documentation

by Uncategorized

Project implementation is arguably the most exciting stage of the project management process. It is during project implementation that project plans begin to come to life and assumptions are able to be tested and measured in real-life scenarios.

One of the outcomes of project implementation is a set of deliverables that typically includes a system diagram; a network diagram; a database design document, including an entity-relationship diagram, a data dictionary, and table definitions; a clearly articulated cybersecurity plan; and source code.

To complete this assignment, you will create:

  • A system diagram that shows, in graphic form, the components of your project.
    • Your system diagram should follow the system description you submitted in your Week 2 project plan (but may differ based on the research you have conducted since Week 2).
    • You may create your system diagram in Microsoft PowerPoint or a graphics program of your choice.
  • A network diagram that shows, in graphic form, the flow of data within your project.
    • Your network diagram should follow the network description you defined in the Week 2 project plan (but may differ based on the research you have conducted since Week 2).
    • You may create your network diagram in Microsoft PowerPoint or a graphics program of your choice.
  • A database design document, including an entity-relationship diagram, a data dictionary, and table definitions, representing all of the data that must be stored and maintained within the context of your project and how that data is organized.
  • A clearly articulated cybersecurity plan that explains how you plan to secure project data and processes.
  • Source code (may be partial) for at least one software application.
    • Your source code may be implemented in HTML/JavaScript, Java, C++, or another programming language.
  • A quality assurance and software test plan.
  • Download the Software Test Plan for an example of what information is typically included and how it is typically organized in a software test plan.
