Do you feel that countries and companies need explicit strategies for technology development, given the tremendous amount of largely spontaneous creativity that occurs today, often in areas where new technologies are not expected to exert a great influence.  Why or why not?

 This homework requires students to create a MIPs program to simulate playing multiple games of “Craps” (a popular casino game) to determine an approximate winning percentage. : To simulate throwing two independent dice, you need to get two random numbers in the range of 1 to 6 and add them together. Do not get a single random number in the range of 2 to 12, as each value will not reflect the odds of rolling a particular numbe 

Information-Gathering Techniques

Create a report for your Manager on Information-Gathering Techniques.

Gathering information for a new system is important and sets the tone of the development cycle. If not done thoroughly, the project could be a failure before it begins.

You are the Project Manager of XYZ Enterprises. Your manager gives you the task of researching the different techniques used to gather information as the company is going to replace their Case Management System. He would like a report of all the different type of information gathering listed below. For each technique, give reasons to use it and the best ways to accomplish using each information-gathering method.

• Interviewing users and stakeholders.
• Distributing and collecting questionnaires.
• Observing and documenting business procedures.
• Collecting active user comments and suggestions.
• Researching vendor solutions.

1. Identify the topic for this week.

3. Read your chosen high-quality sources of related information.
4. state your three sources of information.
5. DESCRIBE each of the three sources of information within a few sentences providing EXAMPLES.
6. SUMMARIZE with three things about the topic that you want to remember forever.

Discussion Point:

Is there a right way and a wrong way to use AdWords? What would you recommend to the business that you are working with to correctly implement this?  No one wants to go down a rabbit hole without proper financial return. How can you ensure an appropriate return? 

1. Transient Overloads: One drawback of RM algorithm is that task priorities are defined by their periods. Sometimes, we must change the task priorities to ensure that all critical tasks get completed. With average execution times, all the critical and non-critical tasks may be RM-schedulable. But, if we consider worst-case execution time we wish to schedule so that all critical tasks meet the deadline and the non-critical task may miss the dead line. The solution is to boost the priority of some critical tasks higher than the non-critical tasks. This is done by altering the “Period” of some critical tasks so that their priorities increase. For example: If we reduce the period of a task by k and have k number of tasks each small sub task will have period divided by K, and execution time divided by k. When the period is smaller, the tasks automatically get higher priority. We can also lengthen the period of non-critical tasks and make it larger than the largest critical task and increase the non-critical task’s execution time also.Carry out a period transformation for this task set to ensure that all the critical tasks will meet the dead line even with worst case execution timing.
   Draw for your modified table of tasks, timing diagram to show schedulability for average execution time and another diagram to show for worst-case execution time. Identify if any tasks miss the dead line.
2. Give explanation of your period transformations and solution.
3. What is CPU Utilization for average and worst-case execution times.
4. Considering Context switch time to be 1 ms, redraw the execution time line for this system for both average and worst case timing.
5. What is the system time-loading (CPU utilization) factor with the context switching included?

Write a 4-5 page paper (deliverable length does not include the title and reference pages)

• Why must companies place an increased emphasis on the use of high-quality software in business systems, industrial process-control systems, and consumer products?
• What potential ethical issues do software manufacturers face in making trade-offs between project schedules, project costs, and software quality?
• What are the four most common types of software product liability claims?

Research IaaS then address the following scenario in essay format. Your essay should be 2-3 pages in length (not including cover and reference page) and should include at least two scholarly references and no less than four references total. Your paper must be in APA format.

XYZ corporation is a large hospital considering moving services to the cloud to reduce some data center expenses. The hospital must comply with HIPAA regulations while moving resources to the cloud. You are considering an IaaS solution for the hospital, but leadership is skeptical about the move.

Your job is to provide assurances through research as to why there is no need for concern. In this essay, you need to provide assurances that should address risks, legal compliance, downtime, and other key areas of IaaS migrations.

1. Now that you have R installed on your computer, you will begin to get some experience (hands-on) with the software. For this assignment, you are exposed to just 4 features of R: Arithmetic Operations; Operations on vectors; the Recycle Rule for adding/subtracting vectors; and Creating a S3 Class Object. A separate screen shot is required for execution of each feature. Open R (either command line or RStudio). Enter code that will handle the following (show all code, comment for each code line and the computed results in your screen shots). These are instructions; do NOT just write the instructions – actually show this within R and capture a readable screen shot to show that it works properly!!
   Screen shot 1: Arithmetic Operations
   • assign a value of 144 to x
   • assign a value of 6 to y
   • add x and y
   • subtract y from x
   • multiply x times y
   • divide x by y
   • find the square root of x
   • Screen shot 2: Operations on vectors
   • create a vector (afc) and assign values 2,6,3
   • create a vector (nfc) and assign values 6,4,2
   • add afc and nfc
   • Screen shot 3:  Recycle Rule for adding and subtracting vectors
   • assign values 2,1,8,3 to vector x
   • assign values 9,4 to vector y
   • add x to y
   • notice the warning message – use the Recycle Rule for adding vectors; then 
   • add x to y and show results
   • subtract 1 from x – apply the Recycle Rule for subtracting vectors; then
   • subtract y from x and show results
   • Screen shot 4: Create an S3 Class Object
   • create a list – with components: name = Your name, date = today’s date, and score = score you desire on Assignment 2.
   • name the class as “graduate student” 
   • Save the screen shots as a MS Word document (*.docx). Then, click the “Write Submission” link below and directly paste your screen shots into this forum OR add the screen shots as a Microsoft Word document attachment (Mac users, please remember to append the “.docx” extension to the filename).
