In this assignment, you will make note of the company that you are interested in writing your Academic Report about and then will identify several specific types of information that you could use in the Report as evidence.

There are different types of information available to you and your job is to identify each of the following that you could pursue:

 A book

 An academic journal article

 A magazine article

 A website article (something that only appears online, such as a news website, tech blog, etc.)

 A social media account (for example, the Instagram account company that you are writing about)

 A specific person that you could interview (someone who works there, an author who has written about the company, etc. – you do not need to know this person but it cannot be vague; it must be a real and specific person)

 An audio/video resource (a podcast, news video, etc.)

 Information from the company itself (press release, quarterly report, content on its website, etc.)

To clarify, you are not required to use all of these diverse types of information for your Academic Report. However, I need to see your ability to locate a variety of different sources of information that you could potential use.

To complete this assignment, include the following:

 Specific information about each of the eight listed types of information above. Include a full description of the source and a brief description of the type of information and how it could be useful to you. You do not need to format each one in APA/MLA but you must include enough information for me to know what it is (title of the book, title of the article, name of the academic journal, name of the podcast, etc.)

Threats to applications or software require mitigation. Mitigation can be accomplished in four ways: redesign to eliminate vulnerability, apply a standard mitigation, invent a new mitigation, or accept the vulnerability.

• Compare and contrast each of the four mitigation options, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of each. Additionally, indicate where in the SDLC process mitigation techniques should be applied for maximum effectiveness.

1. Research Community Needs Assessment Resources in M7 Readings and select one or two that you think would be most helpful to help guide your group project work. Explain your reasons. NOTE: You are not limited to those listed in the Resources section so feel free to do your own research!

2. After reviewing what a Community Needs Assessment consists of, what areas do you need more instruction or guidance on? (e.g. interviews, survey development, etc.)

Describe a situation either positively or negatively that you experienced shopping with a company. For “Feel the Customer’s Pain: Empathize”, which of the steps did the company do in the situation and for “Do All You Can to Resolve the Problem” what was the offered solution. Find the company’s policy on complaints and report if your situation follows their customer complaint policy. Were you satisfied with the resolution of the situation?

CMN 588 Analyzing Institutional Interaction

TRANSCRIPTION EXERCISE

Your job is to hear what the participants actually say as accurately as you can, and then transcribe that as precisely as you can. This means that you are transcribing what you hear them say, and not what you expect them to say or what you think they should have said.

CMN 588 Analyzing Institutional Interaction

Your work will be evaluated by assessing the degree to which your transcript displays: – an adequate grasp of the level of detail it is appropriate to capture,

– a substantial grasp of what the symbols are used to represent, and
– your own, individual best effort to hear and represent this stretch of talk (do not use anyone else’s transcript to inform your own).

CSci 430: Introduction to Operating Systems

Resource Allocation Denial Simulation (Bankers Algorithm)

• How do deadlock avoidance schemes work in practice to keep deadlocks from occurring in a computing system?
• How can we programatically implement an algorithm to test whether a resource request would be safe to grant
or not?
• What information is needed about processes needs and requests in order to define their state and determine if
new resource requests are safe to grant or not?

CSci 430: Introduction to Operating Systems

Resource Allocation Denial Simulation (Bankers Algorithm)

1. You should start by implementing the needsAreMet() member function. This member function takes a process id/index as its first parameter, and an array of integers represent the current number of resources available of each resource type. This function returns a boolean result of true if the process needs are met by the currentAvailable resources, and false if they are not. Basically, in the State object there is a matrix called need, which holds the (C – A) information. Each row of this matrix is the information for a particular process. For the needsAreMet() function, you need to check each of the resource needs for the indicated process, and see if the are all <= to the indicated currentAvailable resource. If all of the needs are less than or equal to the currently available, then the process can have its needs met, and the function should return true. But if any need is greater than a current available resource, then the answer should be false from this function.
2. The next test case tests the findCandidateProcess() member function. This function should use the previous needsAreMet() function to perform its work. This function takes an array of boolean flags as its first parameter,
and an array of currentAvailable resources, the same as used by needsAreMet(). The boolean array are a set of flags that indicate whether a particular process has completed its work yet or not. When determining if a state is safe, we start by assuming all processes are still running, so all process start off with completed as false. When a process can run, we mark its completed as true. For the findCandidateProcess() function, you need to search through all of the processes in the system. The first process you find that is not yet completed, but whose needs can be met by the currentAvailable resources should be returned as the candidate process. As mentioned, you should use the needsAreMet() function to determine whether or not a particular process can have its needs met and is thus a candidate to be run to completion.
3. The next test case tests the releaseAllocatedResources() member function. This funciton will be called after a process is selected to run to completion, to return its currently allocated resources back to the currentAvailable resources. This funciton takes a process id/index as its first parameter, and the same currentAvailable array as its second parameter. The allocation array of the State class contains the current allocations of resources for each process. In this funciton you basically need to add the allocations of the indicated process to the currentAvailable vector of resources, which simulates the resources being released and returned back to the system to be used by other processes. This function is a void function, so it doesn’t return anything explicitly, but of course it does change the currentAvailable vector to update it with the released resources.
4. The final test case is for the main isSafe() member method. This method will implement the actual Banker’s algorithm to determine if the State is a safe or unsafe. This function doesn’t take any input, it uses the current state defined by the matrices and vectors of the State object to perform its task. The function does return a boolean value of true if the state is safe, or false if the state is unsafe.
