...For a very long time I have found myself stuck on crossroads, a life changing decision between between 2 things I love and have shown proficiency. How one decides to love 2 different and practice 2 different vocations? With a background of computer sciences and extreme hands-on experience as a U.S. NAVY Corpsman the choice has been difficult but thanks to People, Work and Organizations a class given at Laguardia Community College a solution might be reached by learning more about myself and the people around me. It has been 9 years since on a faithful day I arrived tot he United States of America about the same time I graduated from High school in my native country. Unable to attend my graduation party I moved forward into a new country with a High school diploma, a certificate as a Journeyman on Computer sciences with skills on repairing and programing personal computers and 16 years old. 2 years after, unable to find myself a permanent position utilizing my previously gained skills I enlisted myself in the NAVY as a Corpsman one of the best decisions I ever made, found myself as a Healthcare giver working 12 hours a day on a emergency room in Virginia. Years after I came back to NYC with 1 deployment on my belt and the realization that I like working and helping people I was torn between 2 completely different callings. People, Work and Organizations will give me the tools to understand and make sense of individual ...

On one hand you have works of the fiction depicting the human fear of a robot uprising, which could be ignored as just a natural fear of change. On the other you have world renowned scientists warning us of the ominous dangers of a scientific creation that might end the human race without the proper precautions to prevent it. In January 2015 Physicist Steven Hawking, CEO of tesla Elon musk, Steve Wozniak and Peter Norvig Google's Deep Minds director of research, among other scientist and pioneers in the field of artificial intelligence, signed and open letter titled “Research Priorities for Robust and Beneficial Artificial Intelligence: an Open Letter”. In this letter, they call for prioritizing ethical programing research and safety precautions over the development of human like intelligence (Andrew griffin, 2014). Evidentially the potential risk of super-intelligence outweighs the likely advantages, Hence the urgent need for the development of an ethical...

In the begining............................... The history of computers starts out about 2000 years ago, at the birth of the 'abacus' a wooden rack holding two horizontal wires with breads strung on them.Just like our present computer,abacus also considered a digit as a singal or codeo and processed the calculation. Blasie Pascal ists usually credited to building the first digital computer in 1942.It added numbers to help his father.In 1671,Gottofried Wilhelm Von Leibniz invented a computer that was built in 1694.It could add,and, after changing somethings around,multiply. Charles Babbage: A serious of very intersting developement in computer was started in Cambridge,England,by Charles Babbage, a mathmatics proffessor.In 1982,Babbge realized that many lng calculations,espically those need to make mathematical tabes ,were really a series of predictable actions that were constantly repated.From this he suspected that it should...

Edit, Compile, Load, Verify and Execute We look over all the above mentioned phases in a bit detail. First consider the following figure that summarizes the all phases of a java program. Phase 1 Editor Disk Program is created in the editor and stored on disk. Compiler creates bytecodes and stores them on disk. Phase 2 Compiler Disk Primary Memory Phase 3 Class Loader Class loader puts bytecodes in memory. Disk Primary Memory Phase 4 Bytecode Verifier Bytecode verifier confirms that all bytecodes are valid and do not violate Java’s security restrictions. Phase 5 Primary Memory Interpreter Interpreter reads bytecodes and translates them into a language that the computer can understand, possibly storing data values as the program executes. Umair© 2005, All Rights Reserved -1- TA: Munawar Nadeem Handout 3 Advanced Programing in Java Umair Javed CS-391 Phase 1: Edit Phase 1 consists of editing a file.

...works, grid computing and what you get when you put the two together. What is Artificial Intelligence and how does it work Artificial Intellegence is a branch of computer science that atemps to simulate intelligent behavior in computers, that is to say, to get a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior(Merriam-Webster) and with any luck ignore unintelligent human beahviour. AIs have to learn concepts of the things they observer or work with, they then store what they have learned, like any other software, as chunks of data. An AI is usually presented with a goal to achieve they accomplish this by exploiting the relationship between the data they acquired and the goal they are trying to achieve (wiseGEEK). To put it into a simpler concept; AI is broken down into an If, and Then type programing analogy.” If this happens Then do that”, pretty much like Basic Programing. But the If-Thens are attached to something not so simple, complex algorithms that are used to record what all the results of the Ifs and Thens are, so that the data can be accessed by the AI, then when the condition happens again it knows what to do. For a little better explanation of AI algorithms look at Google's cloud-based machine learning tools, they use learning algorithms to analyze data. A Google algorithm is added to the logic of a computer or “machine” the results are stored in a dataset, which in turn linked to a larger, smarter dataset. The algorithms learn by recording historical click data, social...

...everyday things we encounter is ran through a database. When you access a database, often you want to recover only records with certain features. The records with these features can be treated as a set. For example, one set is all children born in the state of Maryland and the other set is all children born with Red hair in the U.S. When you use the union of both sets we include all children in the state of Maryland and all children born with Red hair nationwide. This will includes all of both sets, but when you use the intersection of the two sets you will get only the children born in Maryland that also have Red hair. The intersection gives only what the two sets have in common where the union will combine the sets. Part # 2 Logic programing is based on formal logic. Something important to concept in logic programming –“is the separation of programs into their logic component and their...

...Be A Computer Engineer Computer engineering is a very tedious and difficult job. To be a good computer engineer you need years of experience and college education. Computer engineers provide information and data processing for certain computer and organizations. They conduct research, design computers, and discover and discover new basis and ideas of applying computers. Becoming a computer engineer is not really a challenging ,but it does require certain degrees.Computer technology has advanced dramatically over the past ten years.Computer engineering started about 5,000 years ago in China when the Abacus was invented. The abacus is a manual calculator in which you move beads back and forth on rods to add or subtract. Other inventors of basic computers include Blaise Pascal who came up with the arithmetic machine for his father’s work. Also Charles Babbage created the Analytical Engine, which put together math calculations from one problem and applied it to solve other elaborate problems. The Analytical Engine is similar to today’s computers. Computer hardware engineers research, design, develop, and test computer systems and components such as processors, circuit boards, memory devices, networks, and routers.

The aim of this work is unveil these weaknesses facing Information System managers in recent time. Because the modern organization is clearly and predominantly associated with the use of information and information systems, this work does not focus particularly on any industry. 1|Page CYBERSECURITY VULNERABILITY FACING IT MANAGERS TODAY VULNERABILITY/ WEAKNESS COMPARE TO THREAT In cyber world, vulnerability is defined as the weakness a computer hardware or its software system that can be exploited. This is completely way different when we talk about cyber threats. A threat is simply the ways or means with which these vulnerabilities are being taken advantage of or exploited. A simple example of these threats is clearly seen in the case of a Malware/Spyware in a computer/network. This, depending on the target operation, exploits any available vulnerable aspect of the information system. These vulnerabilities when present and unattended to allow or assures for the success of these threats when eminent. The damages done or impacted based on these incident threats when there are vulnerable loopholes are very much devastating and cost loss of money and other values of an organization.

Businesses possibly invested primarily in the software and advancements utilized to deploy their software. In this paper, a contradictory view of SDLC process is describe, it is based on development, distinguishing classifications and then characteristics are revealed. In the very early stages of computing, software development was produced by many individuals, each having their own protocols to follow. Majority of the time, the deployment process was a form of “programing language then repair”, Such the technical writer conducts a form of commands and then probes it to get results. Software expanded exponentially more difficult and meticulously rested on computers for most of their computing, including expenses and labor, this attributed to a more formal way of programming. The main basis in software is understood, constructed, perpetuated and is professionally acronym labeled as Software Development / Life Cycle (SDLC). Software development selection is a strategy by which software deployment techniques are efficiently selected and dependent on qualifications and deliver an improved conclusion other than a usual selection course....
