BI Week 16 Assignment

Complete the following assignment in one MS word document:

Chapter 14–discussion question #1, #3, #4 & exercise 2

APA in-text citations) to support the work this week. All work must be original (not copied from any source).

Discussion 1. Some say that analytics in general dehumanize managerial activities, and others say they do not. Discuss arguments for both points of view.

Discussion 3. What are some of the major privacy concerns in employing intelligent systems on mobile data?

Discussion 4. Identify some cases of violations of user privacy from current literature and their impact on data science as a profession.

Exercise 2. Search the Internet to find examples of how intelligent systems can facilitate activities such as empowerment, mass customization, and teamwork.

Analysis of algorithm

 1. There are n marble balls, one of which is made of a different material. You have access to a Comparator that can compare two inputs (of an arbitrary number of marble balls) and determine if the two inputs are the same or not. The problem is to find the single marble ball that is different from the others while minimizing the number of times you access the Comparator. Design an efficient algorithm based on prune-and-search to solve the problem. Derive the time complexity of your algorithm. 

2.  Show how to maintain a dynamic set Q of numbers that supports the operation MIN-GAP, which gives the magnitude of the difference of the two closest numbers in Q. For example, if Q ={1, 5, 9, 15, 18, 22}, then MIN-GAP.Q/ returns 18 – 15 = 3, since 15 and 18 are the two closest numbers in Q. Make the operations INSERT, DELETE, SEARCH, and MIN-GAP as efficient as possible, and analyze their running times.

Term Paper Outline

 Submit a one page outline with your proposed term paper title, thesis statement, and an outline of the subtopics you will cover in your paper. The term paper details are listed below. ALL TOPICS MUST BE APPROVED. A FAILURE TO HAVE THE TOPIC APPROVED WILL RESULT IN A ZERO GRADE FOR THE TERM PAPER OUTLINE AND THE TERM PAPER. You can send a message with the topic for approval.

This project provides you with the opportunity to increase and demonstrate your understanding of cyberlaw theory and practice. You will need to choose a law(s) that you are interested in researching. The paper must be 4-6 pages in length detailing the below questions. Before completing the below steps, please make sure that the topic is approved.

1. Thesis: What law are you researching (You are to choose a specific law. Please do not choose a topic)? What position do you want to take in regard to your chosen law? You will need to decide if you agree or disagree with the current way the law is written. You can choose to like certain aspects of the law and not others.

2. Background: What is the existing point you want to challenge or support, and how did the law get to be that way (This is where you would need to find cases, background information, etc.)?

3. Inadequacies: What are the deficiencies in the present way of doing things, or what are the weaknesses in the argument you are attacking?

4. Adequacies: Discuss the positive aspects of the law?

5. Proposed Changes: How will we have a better situation, mode of understanding or clarity with what you are advocating? In short, how can the law be improved (or not diminished)? (This is where you have the chance to change the law with your own ideas of how it should be written).

6). Conclusion: Why should and how can your proposal be adopted?

A detailed implementation plan is NOT expected, but you should provide enough specifics for practical follow-up. In making recommendations, you are expected to draw on theories, concepts and reading.

When writing the term paper you must have a minimum of 3-5 outside sources cited and referenced in the paper.

When writing the term paper you must have a minimum of 3-5 outside sources cited and referenced in the paper following APA guidelines. 

Database design

Deleting a record can be costly to an organization if not done in the right way. Let us assume you are working as a DBA (database administrator) and you used the delete command without specifying a condition in the where clause. What do you think will happen to the record in the database? And in case a record was deleted, is there a way to recover the lost data? Answer should be in your own words.
