Course Reflection:

We looked at several topics on global IT strategies, technologies, models, and networking during this session.As you get closer to starting your own dissertation, you will need to choose a topic in your first dissertation class, DSRT-736, so it is essential to start preparing. This week, let us take a look at some topics to consider, and by the end of the week, we could have several ideas for dissertation topicsSince you have already examined several research articles, another way would be to examine previous dissertations in these areas.Visit the University of Cumberland’s library, go to the Dissertation Database, and locate an interesting topic on global IT.Here are some pointers that will help critically evaluate some viable topics.

• Is the topic attainable for a first-time dissertation student?
• Is the problem rooted in the literature?
• Is the research empirical, i.e., is there a survey, is there an interview guide, has the data been analyzed via some statistical tool?
• Is there a theoretical model or framework discussed?

Discuss the topic, the problem the model has been used in the research, and any present findings.Do not read the entire dissertation, as the abstract and chapter one introduction should give a clear understanding of the research.

You are given a very special rectangular prism. The length, width, and height of the cube are all variable. If X is greater than or equal to 10 units, Y is equal to double the amount of X. Otherwise, Y is equal to half the amount of X. If Y is greater than or equal to 20 units, Z is equal to one-fourth of the amount of Y. Otherwise, Z is equal to 3 times the amount of Y.
Write a program where the user inputs a value of X, and the values of Y and Z are computed using the above instructions. The program then calls a function that RETURNS the volume of the prism, and another function that RETURNS the surface area of the prism. Finally, the program displays the volume and surface area of the prism.
• Question 1A ). Draw a flowchart for this problem. You may draw flow chart(s) on paper and take a picture that you can email yourself and insert below, OR draw the flow chart(s) in Word below. IF YOU ARE DRAWING YOUR FLOWCHART BY HAND, MAKE SURE TEXT IN YOUR FLOWCHART IS UPPERCASE.
• Question 1B Write the Pseudocode for this problem.
• Question 1C Write the Python code for this problem below.

Project Schedule guideline:-

In project schedule you will make changes for the constraints too and make the project schedule according to the data given in your case. Following are some examples to prepare project schedule. It is simple, you just need to type the activity name and duration in which it will be completed and mention number of predecessors. Predecessor in normal terms we can say is the task which is required to be completed to start the new task or we can say it is previous task. For example, to build the road, purchasing of land is the predecessor activity because without land how we can start building road.

Please visit this link to have better understanding about predecessor:-

The reports should provide the following information:

• A written description of data with relevant spreadsheets.
• Explanation of how you analysed your data.
• Explanation of what data you analysed and follow with relevant visualization.
• Show the results of your analysis, highlight important results.
• Details for each task required in the project

At this point, you should have completed the course. Now it is time for you to analyze the information you have gained. Please give this some serious thought before posting. Everyone knows what was presented in the course, now you should add how you have used and will use the information. The idea is to contribute to the discussion, just as you would if you were in a traditional class. Be brief, but do not skip this requirement. You will be amazed at how much information you can gather from others in the class.

In simple terms for each of the six items you must address in your post, you will:

1. Analyze the information you have gained.
2. Explain how you have used this information.
3. Describe how you will use this information in the future.
4. Include an outside reference with a URL that assisted you through this course and will continue to be of value in the future.

Introduction

Computer ethics is a rich topic that affects all of us in our interconnected world. To build good ethical judgment capabilities, Bynum and Rogerson (1) suggest applying a multi-staged approach to case study analysis where these stages are defined as: (1) detailing the case study, (2) identifying key ethical principles and specific ethical issues raised by the case, (3) calling on your experience and skills for evaluation, and (4) applying a systematic analysis technique. In this assignment, you will perform the first three of these steps for a case study.The specific course learning outcome associated with this assignment is:

• Examine the ethical considerations and dilemmas of a diverse and interconnected world.

This course requires the use of Strayer Writing Standards. For assistance and information, please refer to the Strayer Writing Standards link in the left-hand menu of your course. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.

Instructions

Write a 3- to 5-page paper in which you analyze a computer ethics cases.Read the article entitled, “Your Botnet is My Botnet: Analysis of a Botnet Takeover,” about a team of researchers who reverse engineered the Torpig botnet, controlled it, and captured data.

• Describe the nature and details of the case, including the persons, organizations, and stakeholders involved.
• Describe ethical principles both supporting the actions of the principal actors (such as minimizing harm or damage to targets of the attacks) in a computer ethics case and contradicting the actions of the principal actors, citing specific, credible sources that support one’s assertions and conclusions.
• Explain why you agree or disagree with the actions of the principal actors in the case, citing specific, credible sources that support your position from an ethical perspective. 
  • Justify your position from an ethical perspective.
• Support your main points, assertions, arguments, or conclusions with at least three specific and credible academic references synthesized into a coherent analysis of the evidence. 
  • Cite each source listed on your references page at least one time within your assignment.
  • For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides.
• Write clearly and concisely in a manner that is well-organized; grammatically correct; and nearly free of spelling, typographical, formatting, and/or punctuation errors. 
  • Use section headers in your paper to clearly delineate your main topics.

The Caesar Cipher

Create a program that decodes messages. The messages will be encoded using a Caesar cipher, with each letter being decoded by replacing it with the previous letter in the alphabet. (Supposedly, this was invented by Julius Caesar.)

The message: J MPWF KBWB would be decoded as I LOVE JAVA.

Offer the user a menu with the following choices:

1. Decode a message.

2. Encode a message.

3. Display the alphabet.

4. Exit the program.

If the user selects option 1, prompt the user to enter an encoded phrase or sentence of text. Convert it to uppercase. Decode it. Print out each decoded letter as you convert it.

If the user selects option 2, prompt the user to enter a decoded phrase or sentence of text. Convert it to uppercase. Encode it. Print out each encoded letter as you convert it.

If the user selects option 3, display the alphabet on the monitor screen.

If the user selects option 4, the program should terminate.

Your program should redisplay the menu after each translation is finished. 

Each task should be in its own method: load the data, display the menu, read the data/phrase entered at the keyboard, translate the encoded message, translate the decoded message, display the alphabet.

Your program must also handle the spaces between the words. 

Do not use or anticipate any punctuation in the input.

Use my examples for test data. Method Definitions on the next page.

Encoded Message  Decoded Message

J mpwf Kbwb  I LOVE JAVA

Uijt jt gvo  THIS IS FUN

Kbwb jt nz gbwpsjuf  JAVA IS MY FAVORITE

You must include a short description of the program’s function, and comments necessary to explain the operation of your program. please view instructions in ppt for details.
