A Usability Evaluation examines the way users interact with products and services in order to achieve a goal. Often times, there are measures that are tied to those goals that are quantified. Academic literature has a robust catalog of research on studies that examine various perspectives that explore user attitudes and experiences. Such attitudes and experiences include:

• Topic name: Memorability 

you are asked to explore one of these topics. You are to conduct an analytical research review of the assigned usability category/dimension above.

 Abstract data types (ADTs) exist only conceptually, and do not have any  concrete existence in a language. Their purpose is to define behavior  and state management (Abstract data type, 2021). Queues are an example  of an ADT. General purpose data structures are a class level  implementation of the abstract data type that is a collection of data  values, their relationships, and the operations that can be applied to  said data (Data structure, 2021). These do exist in the form of code.  Data types are a concrete instance of a class in the form of defined  class objects. To put this into simpler terms, it is an attribute of  data which tells the computer how the data is intended to be used (Data  type, 2021). An integer is an example of a common data type. Each one of  these terms is defined differently, but they all work together.  Abstract data types define operations, general purpose data structures  implement said operations, and data types classify data by values and  operations. If a data type cannot specify any sort of concrete  implementation, then it is an abstract data type. Data structures are an  efficient way to store said data. Examples of data structures include  Linked Lists. Let’s take a closer look at the ADT and data structure  examples: queues and linked lists. A queue is an interface, which means  that it needs a concrete class for declaration (GeeksforGeeks, 2020).  This is what makes a queue an abstract data type. One of the most common  classes that queues use to declare data is a linked list. A linked list  is the implementation of a linear data structure where the elements are  linked using pointers and addresses (GeeksforGeeks, 2021). Queues do  not have concrete implementation and linked lists do. So, while a Linked  List can act as the physical implementation of a queue, a queue must  rely on a data structure for implementation. The distinction may seem  subtle at first, but the difference is important. 

q1. 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.

q2. You are required to use at least two sources (besides your textbook Chapter’s 16-18  (Jamsa, 2013).) to answer the above questions. 

1.Define and describe economies of scale and provide a cloud-based example. 50 words

Payroll Lab

You will be taking in a file (payroll.txt) which details a number of departments (at least 1) and in each department are a set of employees (each department will have at least 1 employee or it would not appear on the payroll sheet). Your job is to read the file in separate out each employee and calculate the total values (hours, salary, number of employees) for each department and in each category (F1, F2, F3, F4). In your final submission please include the .cpp file which should work for any kind of payroll file I supply (which will naturally match the format of the examples below). Be sure to indicate in your submission file if you have attempted any of the bonus points .

An example file (note that your program needs to be able to handle any file formatted in a similar way):

First there is the name of the employee, followed by a list of times (for f1, f2 and f4). The times are reported by a number of different systems and the hours and minutes may be represented differently. Hours and hrs, or Minutes an mins. The final times should be rounded to the nearest half hour, where for example 2 hours and 15 minutes would be 2.5 hours. The times may specify the hours and minutes or just one or the other. And yes they could only work for a few minutes (maybe they only run into work to sign a paper or something). The last in the row after the hours comes the pay grade (F1, F2, F3, F4). The number of hours recorded is based on the pay grade of the employee. F1 and F2s will have 5 numbers for their hours. F3s a bit different since they are commission based where a sales amount and a commission percentage is given. F3s are also assumed to work 30 hours if their commission is 10% or below and 40 hours if their commission is above 10%. F4s will have 7 numbers (as they are on-call during the weekend). Each of the pay grades will also have different pay calculations which are as follows:

F1 = The total number of hours * 12.15
F2 = (The total number of hours – 35) * 18.95 + 500
F3 = The total sales amount * the commission rate
F4 = The first 5 hourly totals * 26.55 + Any weekend hourly totals (the last 2) * 39.75

Your output to the screen should start with the department name, followed by the total pay for all of the employees, then the total number of hours, and the total number of employees. After that you should have a breakdown of each category of employee: F1 total pay and total hours, F2 total pay and total hours…

Each department will have at least 1 employee and each department will contain the word “Department.”

Before coding your solution, take the time to design the program. What are the possible things that the file can have that you need to anticipate? What are the actions that you need to take (read the file, add up hours…)? Are those actions things that could be placed in separate functions? What about the function – can you guess some of the things that will happen? Such as, using substring to pull out part of a line in the file maybe using stoi to convert a string to an integer to add it to the total or creating variables to hold the employee type you find before passing it to another function. Finally, how are these functions called, what is the order and what information is passed to and from? 

Scoring Breakdown

25% program compiles and runs
30% program reads in and calculates the figures for output
10% the program is appropriately commented
35% outputs the correct information in a clear format 

5% bonus to those who can output the F# responses in a columned output like that shown above.
5% bonus to those who do a chart comparing the data at the end to show the relation between the pay grades and the amount of salary spent in each (they style of chart is up to you and more points may be given for more difficult charts (like a line chart):

B Department
F1 – 00000000
