Assignment 1

Q1. Examine Alexa’s skill in ordering drinks from Starbucks.

Q2. Research Apple Home Pod. How does it interact with smart home devices?  Alexa is now connected to smart home devices such as thermostats and microwaves. Find examples of other appliances that are connected to Alexa and write a report.

Each response should be 250-300 words. There must be at least one APA formatted reference (and APA in-text citation) to support the thoughts in the post.  Do not use direct quotes, rather rephrase the author’s words, and continue to use in-text citations.

Assignment 2

Q1. What are location-based apps and why are they important?

Q2. Discuss the importance of location-aware apps.

Q3. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of location-aware applications.

Q4. Discuss methods in which location awareness can be obtained in mobile applications.

Q5. Discuss some of the risks associated with using location-based services.

2 Pages with References. There must be at least one APA formatted reference (and APA in-text citation) to support the thoughts in the post.

Contingency planning is a risk mitigation process for developing back-up plans in anticipation of events (scenarios) that might disrupt ‘business as usual’. Business continuity planning is an expanded version of contingency planning that typically encompasses a more comprehensive and extended response plan for getting back to ‘business as usual’. In a well-formatted, highly-detailed research paper, address the need to contingency planning, ensuring to address the following items:

(1) Benefits of scenario events/planning.
(2) Questions to consider when implementing scenario planning.
(3) The common types of scenario planning.

Based on the question title, I need a IEEE paper format of at least 8 pages long (citations are must)and ppt slides of at least 25 which should summarize the written paper.The paper should contain 0(Zero) plagiarism. The uploaded files are the reference paper of the above title and IEEE format template.

Imp: Reference papers collected must be submitted at the end of the paper and ppt submission.

This question describes a situation where software is required to support the operation of a new product developed by a start-up. The start-up is developing equipment that it will sell to households. This equipment will enable people who do repair or installation work in and around their homes, to be more effective. The start-up has just been granted a patent for their first product. This will be a replacement for both short and tall ladders. Their first product will be a drone, light enough to worn as a back-pack, with computer control for navigation and stability. This will be used as a ladder replacement, for access inside houses and buildings. 

The control software for the drone will need to:

maintain stability, 

support navigation 

and avoid collisions.

In Chapter 2 we learned about sourcing software. Propose sourcing for the software to control this drone. You can consider the sourcing alternatives as sourcing the entire control system or acquiring the three components: stability maintenance, navigation, collision avoidance separately and having these integrated, either in-house or by a supplier.

Note that this device will be controlled by the wearer, so there is need for automation to detect and avoid obstacles. 

Analysis:

What are the lowest cost and lowest risk alternatives that should be considered? You can consider sourcing by operating function (stability, navigation and collision avoidance) or for the total operating system. Discuss these alternatives.

Proposed Solution

Identify proposed software sourcing, either by operating function (stability, navigation and collision avoidance) or for the total operating range, with explanations. You should search the Web for COTS or Open Source opportunities for software acquisition and identify potential software that could be used.

Remember acquisition is lower cost than new development.

 Write a program that allows users to perform maintenance for a given set  of names. When the load button is pressed, read a set of names,  preferably 10 or less from an initialized array. Display the area into  the comboBox or listBox. The add button allows the user to add to the  existing list. Remove will delete a name from the list. Allow the user  to highlight or select one or more names from the listbox. When the user  presses the select button display a dialog box| indicating the names  selected. The reset button restores the listbox from the original array.  The exit button terminates the button. …Form1 OX Name Maintenance  Program Name Load Add Remove Select Reset Exit 

Problem 1
Write a program that asks the user to input a starting number of beer bottles and an ending number of beer bottles. The beer song lyrics should start and end accordingly. Your program should pass this codecheck and have the following output:Problem 2Write a program that reads in two integers M and N from the user. Print out N letters of the alphabet starting at the Mth letter. You should be careful to not exceed the letter ‘z’, even if the user types an unreasonably large value for M.CodecheckProblem 3Write a program that continually prints “Are we there yet?” to the user. The program should stop asking this question when the user types y, Y, or yes.Codecheck
