This problem has been solved!

Your friends in the Computer Science department have been complaining to you that DC is confusing to get around. Due to the high cost of their mobile plan’s data rates, they can’t use map programs like Apple Maps or Google Maps. They’ve asked you to build a program that tells users where in DC they are compared to some landmarks that they know. Your task is to build a program which tells user’s their relative location to some set places. You should:

  • Ask the user to input their latitude and longitude.
  • Tell the user if they are North of K St. or South of it.
  • If they are North of the White House print “You are north of the White House”. If they are south of the white house print “You are south of the White House”. If they are neither, don’t print anything.
  • If they are west of the White House print “You are north of the White House”. If they are south of the white house print “You are south of the White House”. If they are neither, don’t print anything.
  • Do the same thing with Downing Hall, Dupont Circle, and Union Station

Use the table below as reference:

   

Place

Latitude, Longitude

 

K St (Runs east to west)

38.902649

 

The White House

38.897789, -77.036562

 

Downing Hall

38.921669, -77.021361

 

Dupont Circle

38.909760, -77.043479

 

Union Station

38.897698, -77.007200

Your code should look like this (user input is for Greene Stadium and is in bold):

Insert your latitude: 38.9255998

Insert your longitude: -77.0234159

You are north of K St

You are north of the White House

You are east of the White House

You are north of Downing Hall

You are west of Downing Hall

You are north of Dupont Circle

You are east of Dupont Circle

You are north of Union Station

You are west of Union Station

SECURITY POLICY & STANDARTS

Private Industries and Self Regulation

News stories and public pressure drive government regulations. They also drive many industries to more self-regulation. The hope is to demonstrate to the government and the public that these industries are aware of the problem and are taking action. An industry prefers to self-regulate for two key reasons: Cost and flexibility. There’s a perception that regulations increase cost because they can be restrictive and require lots of compliance evidence to be collected. Additionally, regulations can require specific solutions to a problem. Retaining the flexibility to select from an array of solutions and apply new technology is one reason given to avoid regulations. The counterargument is that, without laws, industries won’t fully address problems.

Answer the following question(s):

1.In general, do you believe private industry should be more heavily regulated or less regulated? Provide rationale for your answer.

2.Address the same question in regard to consumer privacy on social media platforms such as Facebook.

Unit1: ITSD422 System Analysis and Design

 

Project Background

Throughout this course, you will be working on several aspects of a software development project that will result in a complete Software Development Plan document for a project of your choosing. You will not actually be developing any software, but you will work extensively with the concepts of good software development practices. Additional information and the deliverables for each Individual Project assignment will be provided in the assignment description for the project.

Project Selection

The first step will be to select a project as the target for your software development plan. This project will be used as the basis for each of the assignments throughout the course and should conform to the following guidelines:

  • Nontrivial: The selected project should be large enough to allow reasonable exercise of the software development planning process.
  • Domain knowledge: You should be familiar with the organization or software category to allow focus on the planning tasks without significant time required for domain education.
  • Accessibility: You should have good access to the people and other information related to the organization or software because this will be an important part of the planning process.

Select a software development project that fits these requirements, and submit your proposal to your instructor before proceeding further with the assignments in the course. Approval should be sought within the first several days of the course. Your instructor will tell you how to submit this proposal and what notification will be given for project approval.

Assignment Details

For the assignments in this course, you will not be implementing the actual software project—rather, you will be developing a comprehensive Software Development Plan document. Your first task in this process will be to select a project to use as the basis of your design. You will also create the shell document for the final project deliverable that you will be working on during each unit. As you proceed through each project phase, you will add content to each section of the final document to gradually complete the final project delivery.

The project requires that you do the following:

  • Submit the project proposal to your instructor for approval.
  • Software Development Plan document shell
    • Use Word
    • Title Page
      • Course number and name
      • Project name
      • Student name
      • Date
    • Table of Contents
      • Use autogenerated TOC
      • Should be a separate page
      • Maximum of 3 levels deep
      • Be sure to update the fields of the TOC so it is up-to-date before submitting your project.
    • Section Headings (Create each heading on a new page with “TBD” as the content except for the sections listed under New Content below.)
      • Project Outline
      • Planning
      • Analysis
      • Design
      • Quality Assurance
      • Implementation
      • Maintenance
  • New Content
    • Project Outline
      • Briefly describe the project.
      • Include a list of the major goals and constraints for the project.
      • Material can be taken from the approved proposal submitted to your instructor.
      • Be sure this project is approved by the instructor.
    • Planning
      • Identify the stakeholders for the project.
      • Identify the tools required for the project and how they will be used. Tools for systems analysis may include CASE tools, financial analysis tools, project management tools, and Internet resource tools such as groupware and collaboration tools. Be sure to address the following in your tool discussion:
        • Describe the primary features, strengths, and weaknesses.
        • Identify the area(s) of the SDLC and the tasks for which the tools would be useful.
        • Discuss how the use of tools would improve the associated area (or phase) of SDLC. 
      • Identify the software development life cycle model that will be used for the project, including justification of the selection.
      • Identify the major phases of the project, and illustrate how they fit in the selected development model.
  • Name the document “yourname_ITSD422_U1Submission.doc.”
  • Submit the document for grading.

Cloud Computing

For this project, select an organization that has leveraged Cloud Computing technologies in an attempt to improve profitability or to give them a competitive advantage.  Research the organization to understand the challenges that they faced and how they intended to use Cloud Computing to overcome their challenges.  The paper should include the following sections each called out with a header.

• Company Overview:  The section should include the company name, the industry they are in and a general overview of the organization.
• Challenges: Discuss the challenges the organization had that limited their profitability and/or competitiveness and how they planned to leverage Cloud Computing to overcome their challenges.
• Solution:  Describe the organization’s Cloud Computing implementation and the benefits they realized from the implementation.  What was the result of implementing Cloud Computing?  Did they meet their objectives for fall short?
• Conclusion:  Summarize the most important ideas from the paper and also make recommendations or how they might have achieved even greater success.

Requirements:

The paper must adhere to APA guidelines including Title and Reference pages.  There should be at least three scholarly sources listed on the reference page.  Each source should be cited in the body of the paper to give credit where due.  Per APA, the paper should use a 12-point Time New Roman font, should be double spaced throughout, and the first sentence of each paragraph should be indented .5 inches.  The body of the paper should be 3 – 5 pages in length.  The Title and Reference pages do not count towards the page count requirements.
