domestic or international conflict that is cyber-related

Research a current domestic or international conflict in the cyber domain.
As a way of checking for your understanding of the nature of conflict as described in the video,write a 1-page methodology for resolving the conflict using Microsoft® Word that addresses the following:

  • Identify the reason for the conflict and the opposing forces
  • Accurately identify the key political figures that impact the outcome or resolution of the conflict
  • If you were involved with the resolution of the conflict, what style of conflict resolution would you use–the competing shark, the collaborating owl, the avoiding turtle, the accommodating teddy bear, or the compromising fox–and why?
  • Do you think in our current political environment we may take the easy way out and try to sweep the conflict under the rug?
  • There is one simple widely used method to resolve common conflict that goes by the acronym DESC that stands for Describe, Express, Specify, Consequences. Do you think this method could be used to resolve the conflict you identified? Do you think methods for conflict resolution in the workplace are the same as geological conflicts? Why or why not?

omputer and Network Systems: Organization and Administration

IFT201 HW2

<[IFT 201]> Computer and Network Systems: Organization and Administration
Homework Assignment 2

Show all your work.
Score: 40 pts
Exercise I (2*15 = 30)
There are three processes in the scheduling queue and assume that all three of them are ready to run. Assume that P1 arrived a little before P2; and P2 arrived a little before P3. Scheduling starts at time t = 0. The CPU and I/O burst patterns of the three processes are as shown below:
Given the following processes that arrived in the order shown

CPU Burst Time IO Burst Time CPU Burst Time IO Burst Time CPU Burst Time
P1 4 2 4 2 4
P2 5 2 5
P3 2 2 2 2 2

Each process exits the system once its CPU and I/O bursts as shown above are complete.
Show the activity in the processor and the I/O area using the FCFS, SJF, and Round Robin (time quantum = 2) algorithms
For each algorithm, compute the average waiting time, the average response time, and the throughput.
Exercise II (Time scale as shown in class = 5pts, Table below = 5pts)
Recall that Shortest Remaining Job First (SRJF) is a variant of Shortest Job First (SJF) with preemption added in. Consider the following three processes vying for the CPU. The scheduler uses SRJF. The scheduler re-evaluates which process to run only upon the arrival of a new process into the scheduling queue, or the completion of a process. The table shows the arrival time of each process.

Process Arrival Time Execution Time
P1 To 5 ms
P2 To + 2 ms 4 ms
P3 To + 3 ms 1 ms

The scheduling starts at time To.
Fill in the table below with the process that is executing on the processor during each time slot. Be sure to show your work as to how you arrived at schedule.

network engineering

You work as the senior network engineer for a medium size organization. The company has offices in Miami and Los Angeles. The network as now has connectivity between locations. Many interoffice phone calls are placed between locations each day, and the organization realizes that it is spending a very large sum on a monthly basis for communication. Your boss approaches you. He wants you to research a solution that will eliminate the toll charges to the company and still allow for data communication across the wide area network (WAN).
Research a solution and explain your findings in a 2-3-page document. Utilizing the online library, the Internet, and all course materials, complete the following:
Explain to your manager how the solution you have identified will be implemented.
List the benefits of the solution.
Ensure that this solution will eliminate all interoffice toll charges.
The design and the implemented solution should not adversely affect the network performance across the WAN.
Diagram your proposed network layout.

Role of Data Mining

APA format
Save word document as 7A
Role of Data Mining
Search for a relevant and/or timely article involving data mining. Describe the role of “data mining” in the story using your own words. Try to identify the type of data analysis method used (association, classification, cluster, outlier, etc.). (100 word minimum – 300 word max). Include the link to the article.
Here is an example:
Posting Title: IBM, Mayo Clinic Take Next Data Mining Step
This story describes how Mayo clinic uses knowledge discovery tools to analyze the data on its patients in order to develop individualized care.  For example, a doctor treating a patient for cancer could use data mining to find the results of treatments given to the similar patients and use this information to find the best treatment course for new patient.
Based on what I read in the textbook, I believe this is an example of classification since data mining is used to predict the best treatment based on past “training” data.
I can see how this can apply to medical treatments worldwide and have a positive long-term effect on medical delivery.  As someone whose family member has cancer, I am hoping that data mining will help find a cure for her.

codes for a function that receives two parameters

There are two parts.
1. Write code for a function that receives two parameters (a,and b) by value and has two more parameters (c and d) by reference. All parameters are double.
The function works by assigning c to (a/b) and assigning d to (a*b).
From main, use scanf to get two numbers, then call the function, and then display both returned values to the output in a printf statement.
2. After part 1 is completed, write code to get 20 integer numbers from the user. The code then displays how many of those numbers are above the numbers average. To get proper credit you must follow these steps:
a. write a for loop to fill the array with numbers from the user. Use a pointer
b. use an index to pass through all array elements to calculate the average in another loop.
c. write a function, then pass the array, its size, and the average to the function. The function returns the count of the number of elements that are above the average.

Case Project—Statement of Work
Taylor’s Professional Services (TPS)
eCommerce Web Site

System Description

Taylor’s Professional Services is a technical and engineering staffing service. When a TPS client company determines that it will need a temporary professional or scientific employee, it issues a staffing request against the contract it previously negotiated with TPS.
TPS wants to provide a web site so that their clients can complete a staffing request over the internet. In addition, TPS wants to provide their clients with a list of potential candidates based on experience, education, salary, and location. A client will be able to select up to three potential staff members along with the location of work, type of work, and salary and submit the request to the contract manager. Once a client issues a staffing request, the system shall provide an automated response stating that the contract manager will validate their request within 24 hours of receipt.
Once a staffing request has been issued, the client will be able to log into the site and search for a staff request by number. The staff request query will result in a page that contains all staff request information along with a field that states whether the staff request is valid, invalid, unable to fill, or filled.
In addition, TPS staff members should be able update their resumes and picture through the web site.
The two areas of the website will be partitioned so that only clients with valid contract numbers and password are able to enter the client area and staff members with only valid employee numbers and password will be able to enter the staff area. Only the contract manager has full access to both locations.
