Exercise G. health club system

——————————— 

Create a set of use cases for the following health club membership system: When members join the

health club, they pay a fee for a certain length of time.  Most memberships are for one year, but memberships as short as two months are available. Throughout the year, the health club offers a variety of discounts on  its regular membership prices (e.g.,two memberships for the price of one for Valentine’s Day).  It is common for members to pay different amounts for the same length of membership. 

The club wants to mail out reminder letters to members asking them to renew their memberships one month before their memberships expire. Some members have become angry when asked to renew at a much higher rate than their original membership contract, so that the club wants to track the price paid so that the manager can override the regular prices with special prices when members are asked to renew. The system must track these new prices so that renewals can be processed accurately. One of the problems in the health club industry is the high turnover rate of members. While some members remain active for many years, about half of the members do not renew their memberships. This is a major problem because the health club spends a lot in advertising to attract each new member. The manager wants the system to track each time a member comes into the club. The system will then identify the heavy users and generate a report so that the manager can ask them to renew their memberships early, perhaps offering them a reduced rate for early renewal. Likewise, the system should identify members who have not visited the club in more than a month so that the manager can call them and attempt to reinterest them in the club.

A company’s strategic priorities must drive how capital allocations are made and the size of each unit’s operating budget. Using the NEC Danforth’s library resources search for recent (most recent five years) articles that discusses how a company has revised its pattern of resource allocation and divisional budgets to support new strategic initiatives. How do the revisions fit within the context of the material we have covered in our coursework (Thompson text and other material) from this week? Submission Details: 

• Your analysis must be driven by facts, research, and data.
• Your analysis should be between 1000 and 1500 words.
• Incorporate a minimum of at least our course text and one non-course scholarly/peer reviewed source in your paper. All written assignments must include a coverage page, introductory and concluding paragraphs, reference page, and proper in-text citations using APA guidelines.

References:

• Find one article that discusses the globalization of the IT and/or computing industry and one article that discusses some aspects of security issues in the IT and/or computing industry.
• Prepare a 2 pages paper/report of the articles (double spaced, 12 point Times New Roman font) summarizing the articles.

Keep in mind the following questions as you search the literature and if possible try to address as many of them as you can in your report, based on information on your sources:

• What is globalization? What is security?

Do they represent a problem or an opportunity?

• Winners and losers in a global IT economy with respect to globalization and security.
• Which type of jobs are affected by globalization (i.e., outsourced), which type of jobs are not. 
• Are there any new jobs being created by globalization and or security concerns, if so what type?
• As a future professional in the computing field, how can you position yourself better to avoid suffering from being displaced by globalization or take advantage of security concerns in your company?
• Impact of globalization and security issues on academia. Do universities need to adjust their CS/CIS curriculum and if so how?
• What ethical, political, cultural, or legal issues need to be addressed because of globalization and security issues?
• Conclusion
• References

Using the Day class of Worked  Example 2.1, write a program that generates a Day object representing  February 28 of this year, and three more such objects that represent  February 28 of the next three years. Advance each object by one day, and  print each object. Also print the expected values

Example 2.1: 

public class DaysAlivePrinter

{

 public static void main(String[] args)

 {

  Day jamesGoslingBirthday = new Day(1955, 5, 9);

  Day today = new Day();

  System.out.print(“Today:”);

  System.out.println(today.toString());

  int daysAlive = today.daysFrom(jamesGoslingBirthday);

  System.out.print(“Day alive: “);

  System.out.println(daysAlive);

  }
