Literature Survey: Restaurant Automation 

The second most important aspect of this course will be a literature review of case studies for projects centered around a software engineering topic. The software engineering topic is centered around Restaurant Automation. This is an individual project and should not be completed as a group assignment. Given the time constraints and limitations of the Team Project as well as difficulties arising from face-to-face meeting due to the on-going COVID-19 pandemic, the topic of this term paper will be centered around a literature review covering the same subject area as your team project. 

Some helpful tutorials on how to write and format your literature review may be found at the following links:

Your term paper should include references to at least 5 scholarly sources. These sources should comprise published scientific books, journal articles, conference papers, published technical reports and/or summaries, or any sources posted inside any of the respected scholarly databases. Note that Wikipedia does not count as a legitimate source of scholarly work so please avoid using it. This literature review is meant to briefly summarize, analyze, evaluate, and critique your sources around the same subject area covered by your own team project. The length of the literature survey should between a minimum of 7 to a maximum of 15 pages (double-spaced, left-aligned, Times New Roman) that includes a title page, a table of contents, the report body of your literature survey neatly organized into appropriately formatted and named sections, and a References page organized in MLA format.

Topic: Enhancing Cyber Security In Healthcare -With The Help Of Machine Learning

Rather than writing a full-length literature review for your topic, you will practice developing your theoretical framework for your mock dissertation topic in this assignment 

The purpose of the theoretical framework is to tie the dissertation together. As the researcher, you should approach the proposed research from a theory or set of theories that provide the backdrop for the work (researchers do not create theory; they use established theory in which to embed their work).

This section should describe how this study will relate to existing theories and discuss how the methodology being used in the study links to those theories

The theoretical framework justifies the methods you plan to use for conducting the study and presents how this research will contribute to the body of knowledge and/or practice. Further, it describes the context within which to locate the intended project and suggests why doing such a study is worthwhile.

Directions:

Develop a 500 words theoretical framework for your mock dissertation topic. Consider (but do NOT directly answer) the following questions when you write your theoretical framework:

Is the theoretical foundation strong?

Are the theoretical sources apparent?

Are they appropriate for the topic?

Do they need further explanation?

500 words APA format with references needed.

you have been introduced to various security tools (Network Discovery, Network Scanning, DLP, Firewalls, and HIDS).  You are to take one of the five identified categories of tools and identify two specific products from different vendors.  Based on two products, please research the differences and similarities between the two products.  You should also evaluate the implementation issues you may face with each product.  Based on your research, please create a PowerPoint or a similar presentation to explain your research and your findings of the tools.  The presentation should be comparative in nature as to highlight the similarities between the two products you researched.

The presentation must contain the following:

• Product Background
• Pros and Cons of each product
• Side by Side comparison
• Recommendation

 PowerPoint Requirements

1. Easy to follow and understand
2. Ratio of words to background (Essentially, not too many words on a slide.  Highlight the essentials)
3. Graphics – Charts, Graphs, Illustrations, etc.
4. Other – media – Audio, Video, etc.
5. Turnitin will be completed.

Q1. Read Chapter 8 in the textbook: Cluster Analysis

Textbook: Tan, Pang-Ning. Introduction to Data Mining

1. What are the characteristics of data?
2. Compare the difference in each of the following clustering types: prototype-based, density-based, and graph-based.
3. What is a scalable clustering algorithm?
4. How do you choose the right algorithm?

Answer all the questions in Q&A format in 200 words. There must be APA formatted references (and APA in-text citations) to support the thoughts in the post.

Q2. Read ch. 8 in the textbook: Annotation

Textbook: Kirk, Andy.  Data Visualization: A Handbook for Data Driven Design

Annotation is a crucial component of good data visualization.  It can turn a boring graphic into an interesting and insightful way to convey information.  This week, please navigate to any site and find a graphic that could use some annotation work.  Add the graphic and the website it is found as an attachment and note what you would do to enhance the graphic and note why you would make these decisions.

Answer in 250 words. 

1. Change the example on pages 194-195 of the do…while loop into a while…wend loop. 

What is the difference between a do,,,while loop and while…wend loop? 

2. Change the while…wend loop example of page 200 into a for…next loop

What is the difference between a while…wend loop and for…next loop? 

 This assignment will be submitted to Turnitin®.Instructions

Faster Computing was impressed with your presentation. The company is interested in moving forward with the project, but the senior management team has responded to the presentation with the following questions and concerns:

(12.3.2: Describe the implementation of controls.)

• How will security be implemented in the Linux systems—both workstations and servers?

(10.1.2: Gather project requirements to meet stakeholder needs.)

• End users have expressed some concern about completing their day-to-day tasks on Linux. How would activities such as web browsing work? How would they work with their previous Microsoft Office files?

(12.4.1: Document how IT controls are monitored.)

• The current Windows administrators are unsure about administering Linux systems. How are common tasks, such as process monitoring and management, handled in Linux? How does logging work? Do we have event logs like we do in Windows?

(2.3.2: Incorporate relevant evidence to support the position.)

• Some folks in IT raised questions about the Linux flavor that was recommended. They would like to see comparisons between your recommendation and a couple of other popular options. What makes your recommendation the best option?

(10.1.3: Define the specifications of the required technologies.)

• How does software installation work on Linux? Can we use existing Windows software?
• How can Linux work together with the systems that will continue to run Windows? How will we share files between the different system types?

The deliverable for this phase of the project is a memo. There is no minimum or maximum page requirement, but all of the questions must be fully answered with sufficient detail. The recommended format is to respond to the questions in a bulleted format. Provide sufficient detail to fully address the questions. You must cite at least two quality sources.

(1.2.3: Explain specialized terms or concepts to facilitate audience comprehension.)

Create a memorandum template with a header of your own design or choosing, brief introduction, addresses Faster Computing, Inc’s questions, and summarizes your position on adopting the specific version of Linux.

(1.4.3: Write concise and logical sentences in standard academic English that clarify relationships among concepts and ideas.)

Your memorandum should not include spelling or grammatical errors. Any Linux commands must be displayed in lower case. Information technology acronyms (e.g., SSH or FTP) should be explained for the reader.
