  1. System architecture is the descriptive representation of the system’s component functions and the communication flows between those components.                                                                                 My definition immediately raises some important questions.                                                                                     • What are “components”?                                                                                                                                 • Which functions are relevant?                                                                                                                   • What is a communication flow?

Rounding to Nearest Integer

An application of method Math.floor is rounding a value to the nearest integer. The statement y = Math. Floor( x + 0. 5 ) ; will round the number x to the nearest integer and assign the result to y. Write an application that reads double values and uses the preceding statement to round each of the numbers to the nearest integer. For each number processed, display both the original number and the rounded number.

Unit 7 Assignment 2

  

Use library research to learn more about a great problem solver or innovator (for example, Thomas Edison, Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, Mother Theresa, Albert Einstein, Eleanor Roosevelt, or Jonas Salk). Find out as much as you can about the methods the person used in seeking solutions. Give an oral presentation of your findings to your class.

Your written assignment for this module should be a 1-2 page paper (not including title page and reference page) that describes the following: What are the different types of immunities and give an example of each Describe how stress impacts the immunity

 

Your written assignment for this module should be a 1-2 page paper (not including title page and reference page) that describes the following:

  • What are the different types of immunities and give an example of each
  • Describe how stress impacts the immunity of a person

You should include a minimum of 3 scholarly references. Include a title page, in-text citations, and a reference page in APA format.

Paper Writing

  For this assignment, you are to get into the mindset of a reviewer, and to practice the skills of hunting down references to find clarifications and explanations.

  • Find a research paper from the list below; let’s call this Paper 1. 
  • Now imagine that you were assigned Paper 1 as a reviewer. The first part of any paper review is a succinct summary (at most two short paragraphs) of the major contributions of the paper. Write that summary. Your summary should be objective; keep your opinions about the paper limited. (An actual paper review would also include your opinions about the paper after the summary, but they will not be a part of this assignment.) Your summary should also be easy for a program committee member / editor to read. Remember that even if they have more general expertise, they know less about the paper than you do!
  • Identify and explain the major components of the paper , using up to one full page. Again, your summary should be objective and easy for an inexpert editor / program committee member to read. (Imagine you six months ago.)
  • Skim the rest of the paper to get a general idea of what is going on, and then read as much detail as you can. Describe where you got lost , using up to one full page. (This is not normally part of a review.) Include enough context that your point of confusion is clear to someone who is not familiar with the paper. If you can’t figure out the major contributions of the paper, start over with a different Paper 1. If you never get lost, start over with a different Paper 1.
  • Identify another paper that would help enhance your understanding of Paper 1; let’s call this Paper 2. This could be a paper that Paper 1 cites, a paper that cites Paper 1, or just a result of your mad googling skills. Read Paper 2, first skimming to get a general idea of its content, and then trying to read as much detail as you can. Briefly summarize paper 2, describe its connection to where you got lost in paper 1, and describe where you got lost in Paper 2. Use up to one full page.
  • Repeat the previous step one more time. Identify yet another paper that would help your understanding of Paper 2; let’s call this Paper 3. Read Paper 3. Briefly summarize Paper 3, describe its connection to where you got lost in previous papers, and describe where you got lost in Paper 3. Use up to one full page. Altogether, your writeup should be roughly 3–5 pages long. Don’t forget to properly cite the papers you read (and any other papers that you reference in your writeup). 

trends

part-1

  • How does the malware install itself as a service?
  • How can malware running as a service be detected without using the registry?

Part-2

  • Illustrate the role of the shadow file.
  • Illustrate the role of the history file.
  • Illustrate the role of the auth.log file.
  • Discuss one way to identify vulnerable services on a Linux machine and how you would determine if the service is vulnerable to exploitation.

TWO DISCUSSION QUESTIONS: ONE PARAGRAH EACH.

QUESTION 1:

  • Product evaluation is an important step to ensure that a product will meet the quality, features, and overall design that is acceptable to the consumer. Imagine that you are an evaluator for a new product. Describe common challenges that you will find in a controlled and a natural environment setting among users. Suggest actions that you can take in order to address or prevent these challenges.

QUESTIONS 2:

  • The ideal method of evaluation products involves volunteers. However, sometimes this is not feasible (that is, product time constraint, too expensive, et cetera). This is where experts who are knowledgeable about interaction design, needs, and typical behavior of users come into the picture. Choose a random product that you use daily and speculate on how a heuristic evaluation would be performed on that product. Provide a rationale for your response.
