Dis -3 Week 5 Info

Given the growth in telecommuting and other mobile work arrangements, how might offices physically change in the coming years? Will offices as we think of them today exist in the next ten years? Why or why not?


  • Provide extensive additional information on the topic
  • Explain, define, or analyze the topic in detail
  • Share an applicable personal experience
  • Provide an outside source (for example, an article from the UC Library) that applies to the topic, along with additional information about the topic or the source (please cite properly in APA)
  • Make an argument concerning the topic.

At least one scholarly source should be used in the initial discussion thread. Be sure to use information from your readings and other sources from the UC Library. Use proper citations and references in your post.

InfoTech In Global Economy

 Chapter 5 discusses decision making using system modeling. The author briefly mentions an open source software tool, EMA Workbench, that can perform EMA and ESDMA modeling. Find EMA Workbench online and go to their main website (not the GitHub download site). To prepare for the discussion board task do the following:

1) Under documentation, go to the Tutorials page.

2) Read through the Simple Model (in your chosen environment), and the Mexican Flu example. 

3) Decide how you could use this software to create a model to help in developing a policy for a Smart City. 


As indicated above, explain how you could use the EMA Workbench software to develop a model to help create a policy for a Smart City. Explain what policy you are trying to create (i.e. traffic light placement, surveillance camera coverage, taxi licenses issued, etc.), and what key features you would use in your m

Business Intelligence

 

See Chapter 9.  Briefly describe what these analysis are and offer 2 benefits examples of each:

                     what- if analysis, sensitivity analysis, and goal- seeking analysis

If the manager said, How many servers will be needed to reduce the waiting time of customers to less than 5 minutes?" What is the best analysis to use?   and Why?

Business Intelligence

  

Research an area of Business Intelligence and Analytics of interest or is relevant in your industry. Areas can include topics identified in the textbook, such as:

  • Business Intelligence and Analytics
  • Foundations and Technologies for Decision Making
  • Business Reporting, Visual Analytics, and Business Performance Management
  • Web Analytics, Web Mining, and Social Analytics
  • Model-Based Decision Making
  • Automated Decision Systems and Expert Systems

MILESTONE 2: Introduction, Sub-Topics, 5 Supporting References

This week you will continue to develop on Milestone 1 research paper, by adding Introduction, Sub-Topics, and 5 Supporting References.

Info Tech In Global Economy

Chapter Eight (8) According to Ligtvoet, van de Kaa, Fens, van Beers, Herder, and van den Hoven, (in press), full and comprehensive overview of all relevant components of a system increasingly continue to become difficult.  The authors assert that, the natural response to complex problems is to delve into details.  The suggestion is that an opposite move towards a more abstract approach will gain fruition. The authors have also used the development of smart meters in the Netherlands to illustrate this concept.  A more explicit focus on the values that play a role for different stakeholders avoids fruitless detours in the development of technologies.  These authors continue to argue that, policy-makers would do better by not only addressing functional requirements, but also taking individual and social values into consideration.

Q1: According to research by Ligtvoet et al. (in press), Chapter 8, there are five (5) most

Annotated Bibilography

 

Please find 5 research articles related to the topics discussed in Chapter 5. 

Topics could include:

  1. System dynamics
  2. Multi-actor systems modeling
  3. Complex adaptive systems modeling

or any other topic contained in the chapter.


After reading and finding the 5 research articles, create an annotated bibliography. The deliverable will be one MS Word file that you will submit here. Please make sure that there are at least 150 words per article, this does not include references or copies of the abstract or introduction, this must be what you come up with. 

Analyzing & Visualizing Data

  

Background: Quantitative data can be measured and documented with numbers. Additionally, quantitative data can be represented as quantities. On the other hand, qualitative data is not measured with numbers, but it is represented by qualities. For example, I use quantitative methods to conduct my PhD research because I like working with counts and measures.

Assignment: Write a research paper the contains the following:

  • Discuss Quantitative Methodology
  • Discuss Qualitative Methodology
  • Compare and contrast qualitative data vs quantitative data

Your research paper should be at least 3 pages (800 words), double-spaced, have at least 4 APA references, and typed in an easy-to-read font in MS Word (other word processors are fine to use but save it in MS Word format). Your cover page should contain the following: Title, Students name, Universitys name, Course name, Course number, Professors name, and Date.

Unit 5 Discussion

Instructions

For the discussion this week, conduct research on the topic you have been working with since Unit 2. Then, in a well-developed  initial post, include the following:

  • A description of your research process
  • Three APA reference entries, each for a credible source related to your topic
  • Beneath each reference entry, include an annotation of the source

Finally, select one of the sources and provide a full evaluation of it in terms of the CRAAP criteria. That is, explain its currency, its relevance, its authority, its accuracy, and its purpose.

The three sources you select may be used, if you wish, in your final annotated bibliography that is due at the end of the unit.

Please be sure to validate your opinions and ideas with citations and references in APA format.

Annotated Bibliography – Depth

 

paper will be an annotated bibliography, specifically focusing on the "Depth" topic (i.e. Defense in Depth) in the context of protecting National Infrastructure.

You paper must be in correct APA format, use correct grammar, and will need to include at least seven (7) resources, ALL of which must:

1) Be current. Published within the last few years.

2) Be peer-reviewed.

3) Relate directly to Defense in depth in the context of protecting National Infrastructure.

Analysis of Requirements

Please the following to paragraphs and answer replies. They should be thoughtful and supportive with references.

1.Prototyping is in itself a self-sufficient mechanism to collect system requirements and can take two forms, evolutionary and throwaway. The main benefit of prototyping is the development of an information system that more closely fits the needs of the organization (Huston, T.H. & D'Ouville, E. L., 1988). A prototype is a basic working model, mock-up or a simple simulation of the product which leads us to create a minimal viable product to final product and variations (Entrepreneur, 2018).

While, evolutionary prototypes are generally turned into a full working production system at some point in time, the throwaway prototypes, as the name suggests, are discarded once they meet the initial purpose they were created for. Agreed that there may be some cases where throwaway prototypes dont even serve the purpose for which they were created. However, after havi
