Throughout the course, you have been learning about different areas of research in databases and business intelligence. Your task for this week is to recreate an experiment conducted in a in databases and business intelligence recent research paper. Select a study to recreate which has been published in the last two years. Be sure to select a study that is repeatable using a provided dataset. Once you have selected an interesting research paper, address the following: Describe the issue addressed. Indicate why is it important and if this is an agreed-upon concern. Describe what was accomplished by the study and what was not achieved. Describe the methodology utilized in conducting the study. Determine if it was appropriate and justify your response. Describe the study results and the contribution it made to the body of knowledge, if any. Describe possible extensions to the research, if any. In what ways can the study be enhanced or modified to provide additional value? Discuss any limitations or assumptions held within the study and how they can be addressed. Present the study’s experiment that will be reproduced. Be sure to outline the setup and resources utilized. Determine how you will reproduce the experiment. Explain how your experiment differs from the original and in what ways were they the same. How do your results compare with the original results, and what conclusions can be drawn with the additional data provided by your experiment? Finally, reproduce the experiment and document the setup, procedure, and results. Create any tables, graphs, raw results, or aggregate reports that would allow for direct comparison with the original study. NOTE: PLEASE SELECT ACADEMIC JOURNALS AND RESOURCES AND PLEASE PROVIDE THE LINK FOR ALL. THANK YOU!

Scenario: This organization (fictional or non-fictional organization) has an IPv4-based infrastructure using a Windows 2008 server-based structure. There is a generic shared drive that has turned into a “virtual dumping ground” for files used across departments. Accounting department users do not have access to sales department folders, so this shared folder is the solution for cross-department collaboration. There are many important files that cannot be deleted, but this shared drive is causing a problem. Based on the above scenario (Requirements) 1. Develop an implementation plan to upgrade the existing network to IPv6 and to how to go about upgrading the existing server structure, as well (please include cost analysis, impacts on business operations, and upgrade timelines)  2. Outline the reasons for upgrading both the server and infrastructure and describe the potential risks of doing so.   3. Find a sustainable and collaborative solution to eliminate the dependency on the shared drive. 4. Include Executive Summary and Conclusion

Goal: The goal of this assignment is to have you think about issues of moderation, policing, and subversion in relation to visual media and memetic behaviors. Task: Consider embedded politics from a meme on Know Your Meme: https://knowyourmeme.com.   Your task is to pick one meme which contains embedded politics. “Politics” can mean election politics, policy, subversive content, power dynamics, demographic issues, etc. Most things can be considered political. Your analysis first requires you justify the political aspects of the image. Then, you may analyze one of two things: 1.     How the meme could be datafied, survielled, policed, and the ethical implications of doing so. You can do this from the perspective of a platform, a moderator, or a governing instituion. 2.     Explaining the ethical implications of the meme itself through datafied references to the images. In doing this, explain the limitations to the way in which you have datafied the document. (e.g. are you using inductive generalizations? Who has agency in your argument? Are these known, or assumed?) NOTICE: Do not pick Pepe! I want you to explore a meme you have not read an analysis on already.   Importantly, I am not asking you to pick an image; I am asking you to pick a meme (i.e. a set of images with observable similarities). Examine at least six images of the meme you have chosen. You may also draw on the historical and contextual information on the page. Drawing on concepts discussed in this module of the course consider the implications of data-driven decision-making l on the ways the candidate is communicating with voters (or not communicating with them). You may also include other concepts from previous modules such as We Are Data and Artificial Unintelligence, affordances, encoding/decoding, etc. In fact, your choice of “political” may require you do so. However your grade requires you to discuss content from this module. Requirements: l  Maximum of 1000 words. l  There must be a brief introduction and conclusion. l  There must be a thesis statement at the end of the introduction. l  The body of the critical essay must support the thesis statement with examples and explanations. l  Briefly describe the the contents of the meme and how it is political. l  You must engage and reference articles from this module. l  Define and explain the concepts you use to make your argument. (Remember to cite them.) l  Use APA citation style and include a bibliography. You also should either cite the meme or include the URL to the Know Your Meme entry of which you are referring to. l  Include the 6 images you analyze either in the document or in an appendix at the end.

Using Big Data for early detection of ‘at-risk’ students in higher education

Description One of the potential problems mentioned in the chapter with gathering information requirements by observing potential system users is that people may change their behavior when observed. What could you do to overcome this potential confounding factor in accurately determining information requirements? All of the methods of data collection discussed in this chapter take a lot of time. What are some ways analysts can still collect the information they need for systems analysis but also save time? What methods can you think of that would improve upon both traditional and newer techniques? Evaluation Criteria Was the assignment properly formatted with proper spelling and grammar? Did the student demonstrate an understanding of the different techniques for gathering user requirements and their advantages/disadvantages? Did the student demonstrate critical thinking? The answer should be at least 3-4 paragraphs, double spaced.

This is a research project focusing on the legal issues of Penetration Testing.

1. Make a list of four recent disruptive innovations.  Identify firms that successfully adapted and some that didn’t.  For those firms that failed to make the transition, why do you think they failed?  List two disruptive innovations you can envision for the future and how do you think the firms will adapt to your predictions?  What could possibly make them fail?  (Two pages or less should be sufficient). 2. Investigate the revenues and net income of major software players: Microsoft, Google, Oracle, Red Hat, and Salesforce.com. Which firms have higher revenues? Net income? Which have better profit margins? What do the trends in OSS, SaaS, and cloud computing suggest for these and similar firms? Hint:  You might want to organize your data in a table so it’s easier to compare the companies’ revenue and net income figures. You should be able to complete this assignment in a single page.
