Information Systems

Symbols have always been important parts of the human experience. For this project, I want you to think about the symbols that define our/your culture and society today, and how they are sometimes used and abused by certain groups (including groups that promote pseudoarchaeology) to create and promote their ideology. First, read the following article, which talks about the history and multiple meanings of symbols such as the swastika and the confederate flag: https://www.sapiens.org/culture/symbols-shifting-culture/ (Links to an external site.) With this article in mind, identify one other symbol which you think is important in your world today. This symbol can be religious, national/patriotic, political, economic, etc. Then, answer the following questions in a brief presentation: What is this symbol? What does it represent? Thinking like an archaeologist, tell me how this symbol is materialized – where does it show up? In what kinds of places, objects, and situations? What does this symbol say about what society (or a part of it) considers valuable, good, or bad? Has this symbol been used or abused for a particular agenda? How? By whom? For what purpose?

In Week 1 Content –  What is an Information System – there are several examples of definitions of an information system.  The one constant in those definitions is that they are used to hold data and enable the use of it to support an organization’s use of that data. This week’s reading on Analyzing Process Improvements Supported by IT explains how systems enable communication, collaboration and workflow throughout an organization. In Section II Process Analysis (Stage 2 Assignment), the focus is on process analysis and improvement as well as benefits of improvements on some specific non-technical areas (Stage 2 Assignment is due at the end of Week 4).  For this week’s discussion, select one of the three areas (listed below) and discuss how companies can use information systems and the data within them to address that aspect.  Conduct some research and provide specific examples including what companies have focused on in these areas and examples of types of information systems used to gather, analyze and distribute data.  Simply typing “use of data to support organizational collaboration” (or whatever aspect you select) into your web browser will produce results but be sure to evaluate the sources to make sure they are relevant to this discussion. The idea is to discuss these various aspects and how companies use information systems to improve in these areas, as examples to help you as you think about the Stage 2 assignment. As you select your topic, insert your topic in the subject line of your response.  Please address an area not selected by another student if not all have been selected; if all areas have been selected, make sure your posting provides additional information to expand the discussion.

Let’s discuss the difference between positive association and negative association when describing the relationship between two variables. What do we mean by the least-square criterion? Give a general description of how the least-square criterion is involved in the construction of the least-square line.  Why do we say the least-squares line is the “best-fitting” line for the data set? Use the Internet and find a magazine or journal article in your field of major interest wherein the content of this chapter (Correlation and Regression – chapter 6) could be applied.  List the variables used, method of data collection, and the general type of information and conclusion drawn.

Write at least 500 words on fractional ownership and it’s relation to cloud computing. Use at least one example from another industry

The tasks expected of students which must be evidenced in the submitted group project report include the following: Research about polar codes, including their inventors, their history, strengths, weaknesses and future. Provide good references about the subject matter using in the correct manner the IEEE referencing style. Give appropriate credit to work cited. Present the mathematical theory behind polar codes in the most and precise correct manner. Give appropriate credit to work cited. Present the mathematical theory behind the SCD algorithm in the most and precise correct manner. Give appropriate credit to work cited. Write a MATLAB/SIMULINK code that can be used to encode data using polar codes. Use an example to test the correctness of your design. Copy your MATLAB script and/or Simulink block diagram and paste in the appendix of your report. Write a MATLAB/SIMULINK code to implement the SCD algorithm that is used to decode or retrieve the original data from polar coded words. Use an example to test the correctness of your design. Copy your MATLAB script and/or Simulink block diagram and paste in the appendix of your report.

Question a) What are QoS metrics? (Do not just spell the acronym.)  b) Why are QoS metrics important? Question a) Distinguish between rated speed and throughput. b) Distinguish between individual and aggregate throughput. c) You are working at an access point with 20 older people. Three are doing a download at the same time you are. The rest are looking at their screens or sipping coffee. The access point you share has a rated speed of 150 Mbps and provides a throughput of 100 Mbps. How much speed can you expect on average for a download? (Answer 25mbps) d) In a coffee shop, there are 10 people sharing an access point with a rated speed of 2 Gbps. The throughput is half the rated speed. Several people are downloading. Each is getting an average of 100 Mbps. How many people are using the Internet at that moment Question a) Distinguish between dedicated and multiplexed transmission links. b) If 100 conversations averaging 50 Mbps are multiplexed on a transmission line, will the required transmission line capacity be less than 5 Gbps, equal to 5 Gbps, or more than Gbps? c) What is the business benefit of multiplexing? Thought Questions 3-1 and 3-3  3:1 Your home is connected to the internet. You get to create SLAs that the ISP must follow. Being reasonable, write SLAs you would like to have for the following things.a) Write an SLA for speed. b) Write an SLA for availability c) Write an SLA for latency. Do not just say what each SLA should include. Actually, write the SLAs as the ISP would write them in the form of specific guarantees. Failure to do this will result in a substantial grading penalty.

What is the main difference between the two explanations? Discuss the needed future organizational development of Rapid Supple Electronic Components by using theoretical concepts and relations among concept from the OB and the ob traditions. What is the main difference between the two needed developments?

I need a personal email application for communicating privately with my customers. I am running a small-sized e-commerce business online, so I need to make small and big deals with my customers. I need an email account for a private discussion with my clients, so I have decided to use the Comcast email service. Comcast email service is one of the most admirable emailing applications, which is widely used by both home and business users. It is also used by professional users. I want to use the Comcast email service for effective emailing communication with my clients, business partners, and associates. I want to configure my Comcast email account on my computer system, but I am failing to complete the configuration process. I have configured so many email accounts, but I am going to set up a Comcast email account for the first time. Even I have good technical expertise for the configuration process of the Comcast email account. I am not sure about the Comcast email settings. And I am getting problems to configure the Comcast email account in the appropriate ways. Due to insufficient technical skills, I am missing something very simple for the configuration process of Comcast email accounts. Could anyone share the easy tips to configure the Comcast email account on my computer system?
