Chapter 2 – Review of the Literature (6-8 pages) In this section, it is important to clearly identify the major areas on which you will need to focus your research in order to build a solid foundation for your study in the existing body of knowledge. The literature review is the presentation of quality literature in a particular field that serves as the foundation and justification for the research problem, research questions or hypothesis, and methodology. You will develop a more comprehensive review of the literature as part of your report. Chapter 3 – Approach/Methodology (1 – 2 pages) Describe how you plan to address your research problem and accomplish your stated goal. List the major steps that must be taken to accomplish the goal and include a preliminary discussion of the methodology and specific research methods you plan to implement. Although specific details are not required at this point, you must provide adequate discussion of the general process you will follow to implement your research methodology. Chapter 4: Findings, Analysis, and Summary of Results (2 – 4 pages) Chapter 4 includes an objective description and analysis of the findings, results or outcomes of the research. Limit the use of charts, tables, figures to those that are needed to support the narrative. Most of these illustrations can be included as part of the Appendixes. The following topics are intended to serve as a guide:  Data analysis  Findings & discussion  Analysis  Summary of results & discussion Chapter 5: Conclusions (2 – 4 pages)  Conclusions – Clearly state the conclusions of the study based on the analysis performed and results achieved. Indicate by the evidence or logical development the extent to which the specified objectives have been  6 accomplished. If the research has been guided by hypotheses, make a statement as to whether the data supported or rejected these hypotheses. Discuss alternative explanations for the findings, if appropriate. Delineate strengths, weaknesses, and limitations of the study.  Implications – Discuss the impact of the work on the field of study and its contributions to knowledge and professional practice. Discuss implications for future research.  Recommendations – Present recommendations for future research or for changes in research methods or theoretical concepts. As appropriate, present recommendations for changes in academic practice, professional practice, or organizational procedures, practices, and behavior.

U.S. Compliance Laws Research

Submit a draft of your research of DOD-specific requirements for an organization’s IT infrastructure and U.S. compliance laws that may affect the firm.

 In this project you will be provided with a description of an application (below) to create an entity-relationship diagram (ERD) and design accompanying table layout using sound relational modeling concepts and practices. The relationships between the entities and the attributes for the entities will be identified and described. This database will provide the foundation for the follow-on project. The following paragraphs provide the background and summary of the business requirements.
You are a database consultant with Ace Software, Inc. and have been assigned to develop a database for the Mom and Pop Johnson video store in town. Mom and Pop have been keeping their records of videos and DVDs purchased from distributors and rented to customers in stacks of invoices and piles of rental forms for years. They have finally decided to automate their record keeping with a relational database.
You sit down with Mom and Pop to discuss their business, and watch their operation for about a week. You discover quickly that a video and a DVD are both copies of a movie kept in a separate plastic case that is rented out. They have several copies of each movie they rent; therefore there are several videos and DVDs for each movie title. You learn that in their inventory they have several thousand videos and DVDs, which they get wholesale from about a half dozen distributors. The video and DVD prices to them are based on the quantity of their shipment and the past business they have done with each company.
The price of a DVD for a movie might be different than the price of a video for the same movie, even from the same distributor. Each distributor provides different types of movies (e.g., suspense, horror, mystery, comedy, etc.). A single distributor may provide several different types of movies in both video and DVD format. It is possible to obtain the same movie from multiple distributors, and at different wholesale prices.
Each video and DVD has a unique identification number that Mom and Pop assign in their inventory, in addition to the distributor’s serial number for the item. Each movie also has a unique identification number Mom and Pop assign in addition to the title, and any movie IDs the distributors use in their electronic catalogs. Distributors provide electronic catalogs to Mom and Pop and the information from these catalogs must be included in the database.
Mom and Pop need to record when a video or DVD is rented, when a video or DVD is returned, and all customer charges such as late and damaged fees, failure to rewind fees, and taxes. They need a report of which videos are returned late because there are standard and late charges. On occasion there are discount prices for certain movies or types of movies. Customers want to rent movies based on actors or actresses, running length, type of movie, rating, year released, the director, and the academy awards won (by the movie, the actors, the actresses and/or the directors). Customers also want to know how many videos they have rented in the last month, year, and so forth. Mom and Pop need to keep only basic information on customers in their database, such as name, address, telephone numbers, etc.
There must be no limit to the number of video and/or DVD copies of a movie that Mom and Pop can have in their inventory. Video/DVD ID numbers, movie ID numbers, and distributor ID numbers for videos, DVDs, and movies are all different. Also, each movie must be able to have an unlimited number of actors, actresses, directors, and academy awards (i.e., Oscars). Other types of awards (e.g., Golden Globe, People’s Choice, etc.) are not of interest for this application. The rental of equipment, sale of videos, DVDs, popcorn, etc., is not to be kept in the database.
Using this information, you should:
Step 1) (7 points) Determine and list your entities. Then create relationship sentence pairs between those entities that are related. You should not have any many-to-many relationships.
Step 2) (13 points) Create an entity/relationship diagram (ERD) showing all your entities, attributes, and relationships. Sketch your ERD by hand or use a drawing program. Your diagram must beon a single page. All entities should be relatated to at least one other entity. Your ERD should have all one-to-many relationships and not have any many-to-many relationships.
Step 3) (5 points) Create metadata that describes the table created from each entity and the column created from each attribute in the ERD. Particular attention will be given to the proper specification of all primary key (via “PK”) and foreign key (via “FK”) columns in the table layouts. These should match your ERD exactly.

• Strings and String Manipulation
• User-Defined Functions and Objects (variables)
• User Input and Input Handling
• Conditional and Nested Conditional Statements (if/elif/else)
• Loops (for/while)
• Controlling for Errors (try/except)

The working version of the game should include:

An executable script (a script that runs from beginning to end upon execution) that includes:

• a game that can be successfully completed within a maximum of 3 minutes (i.e., you can win the game in 3 minutes or less)
• for a passing grade, your text adventure game must include a minimum of:
  • 3 stages (maximum of 5 stages)
  • 5 defined variables
  • 1 list
  • 1 for loop
  • 1 while loop
  • 3 nested conditional statements (all must include an else clause)
  • 1 win() function (Executed whenever a user wins the game. There must be only one win function)
  • 1 fail() function (Executed whenever a user loses the game. There must be only one fail function)
• A description at the beginning of game that:
  • Is no more than 300 words
  • Introduces the story, game, and its objective
  • Identifies any bugs that are not yet worked out

Requirements and Restrictions

• Your game must be based on a book, movie, or TV show. Make sure to provide a source in A.P.A. format.
• The only programming language you may use is Python (no JavaScript, C, or other languages are allowed).
