Paper Section 1: Reflection and Literature Review

Using Microsoft Word and Professional APA format, prepare a professional written paper supported with three sources of research that details what you have learned from chapters 7, 8, 9, and 10.  This section of the paper should be a minimum of two pages. 

Paper Section 2:  Applied Learning Exercises

In this section of the professional paper, apply what you have learned from chapters 7, 8, 9, and 10 to descriptively address and answer the problems below.  

1. Survey and compare and possibly test some text mining tools and vendors. Start with clearforest.com and megaputer.com. Also consult with dmreview.com to further identify some text mining products to explore and even test?
2. Survey and compare and possibly test some Web mining tools and vendors. Identify some Web mining products and service providers that could potentially be useful in a work environment you may want to be part of.
3. Investigate via a Web search how models and their solutions are used by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the “war against terrorism.” Also investigate how other governments or government agencies are using models in their missions.
4. Search online to find vendors of genetic algorithms and investigate the business applications of their products and even possibly test them where applicable. What kinds of applications are most prevalent and why?

 Paper Section 3:  Conclusions

After addressing the problems, conclude your paper with details on how you will use this knowledge and skills to support your professional and or academic goals. This section of the paper should be around one page including a custom and original process flow or flow diagram to visually represent how you will apply this knowledge going forward.

Directions

The manager at James Otis Tax Associates has asked you to submit a report describing the technology hardware and software needed to build a computer network for the new office. The manager has asked you to describe the computer system for each new employee, including an explanation of the purpose for each selected technology component, and to identify specific software programs that the employees would need. He has also asked you to describe the security measures needed to support the systems. In your explanation, include how your knowledge of human-computer interaction (HCI) impacted your choices for each component.

The manager has provided the following employee descriptions:

• Certified Public Accountant (CPA): The CPA is a senior position at a tax preparation company. The CPA will be not only handling sensitive customer data from personal tax returns but also preparing tax returns for corporate clients. The CPA is also responsible for the personal tax returns filled out by the tax and data-entry specialist employees.
• Tax Specialist: The tax specialist has the dual role of entering data and verifying that tax returns are correct. This position involves customer interaction in gathering data for minimizing taxes owed or maximizing tax refunds.
• Data-Entry Specialist: This position requires data entry for personal tax returns for customers who walk in the door. Although the data-entry specialist works with sensitive customer data, they do not have access to the tax returns once the returns are submitted to the tax specialist for review.

For each employee, you must:

• Describe all hardware components, including peripherals, needed to create the systems
• Identify specific software programs (more than one) that would be beneficial to each identified employee. Programs could include:
  • Operating systems
  • Applications such as:
    • Office automation products
    • Security products
• Describe security measures needed to support this system. Security measures could focus on:
  • Access
  • Administration and user passwords
  • Firewalls

Along with each description, explain the purpose of each technology component in each system. In your explanation, include how your knowledge of human-computer interaction (HCI) impacted your choices for components.

Finally, choose a network topology that could be used to connect all of the new employees identified by the manager. Create a Visio diagram to identify the networking equipment needed to enable the workflow between the employees.

Penetration testing is a simulated cyberattack against a computer or network that checks for exploitable vulnerabilities. Pen tests can involve attempting to breach application systems, APIs, servers, inputs, and code injection attacks to reveal vulnerabilities. In a well-written, highly-detailed research paper, discuss the following:

• What is penetration testing
• Testing Stages
• Testing Methods
• Testing, web applications and firewalls

Your paper should meet the following requirements:

• Be approximately 4-6 pages in length, not including the required cover page and reference page. (Remember, APA is double spaced)
• Follow APA 7 guidelines. Your paper should include an introduction, a body with fully developed content, and a conclusion.
• Support your answers with the readings from the course and at least two scholarly journal articles to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. 
• Be clear and well-written, concise, and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. You are being graded in part on the quality of your writing.

Question 1: Let G = (V,E) be an undirected graph and s and t be the source and target nodes. Give an efficient algorithm to determine whether the number of minimum s − t cuts in G is at most two. Analyse your algorithm and provide its complexity.

Question 2: Suppose that X is a 2×1 matrix and Y is a 1×2 matrix. Prove that XY is not invertible.

Question 3: Let G = (V,E) be an undirected bipartite graph with parts AandB(V =A∪B,A∩B=∅)andthereisnoedgewithbothendpointsin A or both endpoints in B). Also, let X and Y be two sets of vertices such that X ⊆ A and Y ⊆ B. Suppose that G has two matchings M1 and M2 such that M1 covers all vertices in X and M2 covers all vertices in Y . Prove that G has a matching M such that M covers all vertices in X and Y . (A matching covers a vertex if one of the edges of the matching has that vertex as an endpoint.)

Question 4: Provide a linear program for the following problem:

A factory produces Aluminium plates of a standard width 3meters. But cus- tomers want to buy plates of shorter widths. So, the factory has to cut original 3m plates. One 3m plate can be cut, for instance, into two plates of 93cm width, one plate of width 108cm, and a rest of 6cm (which goes to waste). Suppose that we have the following orders:

• 97 plates of width 135cm • 610 plates of width 108cm

• 395 plates of width 94cm

• 211 plates of width 43cm.

What is the smallest number of 3m plates that have to be cut in order to satisfy this order? how should they be cut? (Hint: there are 12 different ways of cutting a plate into useful subpieces; you’ll need to figure them all out.)
