Application Socio-Technical Theory and Related Theories This Application will help you map the theories you learned this week to your own work experiences. You will evaluate the application of socio-technical theory, social construction of technology theory, and actor-network theory to your work experience. Perform the following tasks: Summarize the basic principles of the socio-technical approach and its components and addendums such as actor-network theory. Describe how these theories help you understand the social nature of the implementation of technology in the workplace. Cite real-world experiences to draw direct connections to the theories. Make a note of the social circumstances that relate to the concepts presented by the theories. Write your response in an APA-style report. The body of the report, excluding references, should not exceed 5 pages in length. Submit your assignment in the online classroom by Day 7. When you have completed the Week 1 assignments, please proceed to Week 2.

Are there ethical issues to consider when planning a database?  For example, should sensitive personal data (such as medical information) be stored in the same DBMS that manages employee salary and benefits data? Why or why not? Your sources should be properly cited, using APA format.

Part 1: Check computer addresses and start up Wireshark Capture Determine the Physical MAC address and the IP address for the Ethernet interface of the computer you are using. Start up Wireshark, click CaptureàInterfaces and click the Capture button corresponding to your active Ethernet interface. Wireshark will begin running in Capture Mode and will open up a Wireshark Capture window showing you how many packets have been captured in real time.   Part 2: Download Web Page With Wireshark still running in Capture Mode, start up your favorite browser (Internet Explorer, Mozilla, Firefox or whatever). Enter an URL for any website (E.g.: use following address) http://facweb.cs.depaul.edu/cwhite A web page should appear in your browser. Close your browser window. Go back to the Wireshark Capture window and click the Stop button to stop the packet capture.   Part 3: Verify that the Web Page Download has Been Captured Back in the Wireshark window, you should now see lots of packets in the top summary pane. You can filter out all packets except HTTP packets by typing the word “http” into the Filter box (click ViewàFilter Toolbar if you don’t see a Filter box at the top).  This will make things much easier to read. You should see a packet containing something like “GET /facweb.cs.depaul.edu/cwhite” sent by your PC to request the web page download. If the next packet listed (containing the reply from the web server to your PC) contains “HTTP/1.1 200 OK” and the next 3 are “Continuation” packets, then you have successfully captured the packets containing the lab html web page. Skip the following step. On the other hand, if the reply from the web server contains “HTTP/1.1 304 Not Modified”, then this means Wireshark did not capture the packets from the web site because the web page was already stored (cached) in your browser.  In this case you must clear your browser cache and then go back and re-do the capture as follows: First, you must clear the web cache in your browser. For Internet Explorer, click Tools à Internet Options, then, under the General tab, click the Delete Files button within the Temporary Internet Files box area. For Firefox, click Tools à Options, then Privacy, Cache and click Clear. For other browsers, you’re on your own. Now in your Wireshark window, again select CaptureàInterfaces and click the Capture button corresponding to the Ethernet interface. When prompted whether to save the previous capture, click Continue without saving. Go back to Part 2, step 1 above to download the web page again while Wireshark is capturing packets.

1. Using the ruspini dataset provided within the cluster package in R, perform a k-means analysis. Document the findings and justify the choice of k. Hint: use data(ruspini) to load the dataset into R workspace.

An Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) is a very important policy within organizations to define acceptable employee behavior when accessing company resources. Additionally, there are also legal implications within AUPs. Use an existing AUP that you are familiar with, such as from a current or previous workplace, or search on the Internet for an example AUP to complete this case study. Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you: Describe the purpose of an Acceptable Use Policy you have selected and explain how the AUP helps provide confidentiality, integrity, and availability within the organization. Critique the AUP you selected and provide recommendations for improving the AUP. Explain methods that organizations can implement to help ensure compliance with the AUP, mitigate their risk exposure, and minimize liability. Describe how your selected AUP accomplishes these goals. Describe methods for increasing the awareness of the AUP, and other policies, within the organization. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.

IMPORTANT: This must have a minimum of 4 different scholarly article sources cited in APA!!!!

Current Network Architecture Overview: Network architecture refers to the layout of the network, consisting of the hardware, software, connectivity, communication protocols, and mode of transmission such as wired or wireless. For the second milestone, you will provide a high-level overview of the SNHUEnergy Inc. network architecture. You will evaluate traffic patterns to determine critical aspects of your business and provide basic insight into what should be done to the network from a capability aspect as well as a security viewpoint. Finally, you will develop a visual representation of an end-to-end path flow of the existing network by creating a Visio diagram showing the output of the traffic flows. Prompt: In this section, you will analyze the information provided on SNHUEnergy Inc. in the Final Project Scenario document to provide a high-level assumption for the design of the network. To complete this assignment, you must address the following critical elements: ? Based on what you know from the scenario, explain the types of physical network devices used in connecting all devices across the organization. ? Identify the critical traffic patterns currently used by the organization, supported by examples. Use the Traffic Flow Wireshark Capture document to guide your response. o Service (Voice over Internet Protocol [VoIP]) o Application (Structured Query Language [SQL]) o Network management o Other opportunities not specified above ? Describe the traffic patterns that the organization’s critical applications take across the infrastructure from office to office. Remember, the organization’s critical applications were specified in the scenario. ? Describe the potential performance issues that may occur within the current network if no changes are made to support the organization’s expansion. Provide examples to support your response. ? Describe the potential security issues that may occur within the current network if no changes are made to support the organization’s expansion. Provide examples to support your response. ? Develop a visual representation of an end-to-end path flow of the existing network by creating a Visio diagram showing the output of the traffic flows. Use the provided Logical Network Design Example file as a guide for creating your diagram, and include your diagram with your submission.

Summative Assignment: STRATEGY REPORT – Change management (100%) This assignment requires you to identify a problem and propose a service / strategic transformation that addresses the problem, assess drivers and resistors for change, develop a strategy for implementing the change and devise a theory of change representation. Your response will be in the form of a professional strategy report.

You will find a white paper and it’s graphics attached. The graphic contains the 24 topic points within the white paper. This writing assignment is for you to read through the white paper and add about one page that is a high-level overview of the topic points 21-24 (Legal, Policy Abuse, Modification & Termination). This page you produce will be added in the Executive Summary section. The page you write will need to be on a separate document, not added to the original white paper file I uploaded for you. Everything should be in APA 6th. Anything sourced needs to be referenced and contain in-text citations. Must only use scholarly sources.
