...Trident University International ITM 433 Module 1 Case ITM 433 – Computer-Human Interaction Module 1: Why do we care about human-computer interaction? Case Assignment: Discuss the application of speech recognition as a tool for Human Computer Interaction Definitions Before getting too far into detail, here are some definitions this paper is based on. Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is summarily, and loosly, defined as the interaction between people (users) and computers and can be referred to in several different manners. For instance; Computer-Human Interaction (CHI) or Human-Machine Interaction (HMI) are both virtually interchangeable with HCI. The phrase “speech recognition” is rarely, if ever, used outside the context of computer science. Speech recognition refers to the ability of computer-based software to convert spoken words into written (typed/digital) text. Together – HCI/CHI/HMI, etc., insert your acronym of choice but HCI will be used throughout this paper – HCI and speech recognition represent the present and rising future of end-user functionality. The next big thing will be the ability of computers or machines to read your mind instead of verbally instructing it to carry out your bidding… that is sarcasm, of course. However, this current reality of speech recognition software was not stumbled upon and did not happen by chance. A Short History The lever is widely regarded as the first “machine” “invented” and implemented by...

...The Four Categories of Computers Anthony Johnson ITM 5000 Information Technology Management Ms. Brenda K. Britt 04 October 2011 The Four Categories of Computers Today computers are divided into four categories Super computers, Mainframe computers, Mini computers and Micro-computers more commonly known as a personal computer. Personal computer categories include desktop, network, laptop, and handheld. A super computer is the fastest computer mostly used by scientist and engineers who work with huge amounts of data usually on more than one central processing unit (CPU) working simultaneously. Supercomputers have the ability to store huge amounts of data and the capability to deliver very fast input/output of information. The military branches, Universities, and science research facilities use the super computers mostly. Scientific computing is the ability of a CPU to accomplish huge mathematical computations at an extremely fast rate this created the demand for the super computer. Extremely large mathematical computations are processes most needed in fields such as physics, mechanical engineering, meteorology, and aerodynamics. A common technique is to compute an approximate numerical solution to a set of partial differential equations which mathematically describe the physical process of interest but are too complex to be solved by formal mathematical methods. (McGraw-Hill, 2005) Personal computers have a single processor. The supercomputers have thousands of...

...Karen Barber ITM – 5600 – Information and Communications Security Assignment: Summary Report on a Malicious Code Attack Malicious code is the term used to describe any code in any part of a software system or script that is intended to cause undesired effects, security breaches or damage to a computer or system without the owner’s knowledge or consent. Upon entering the system, there are much exploitation of vulnerabilities, like viruses, worms, Trojan horses, spyware, adware, and rootkits. Malicious code is an application security threat that cannot be efficiently controlled by conventional antivirus software alone. Malicious code can either activate itself or activate after a user perform an action, such as clicking on something or opening an email attachment. Malicious code describes a broad category of system security terms that includes attack scripts, viruses, worms, Trojan horses, backdoors, and malicious active content. The Spamhaus Project is a cyber attack that is described as the largest in history apparently starting over an argument over spam.

...| Disaster plan | | | | 6/6/2010 | | Abstract This is a disaster plan that I created for the IST Department of XYZ Computers company in order to prevent any future problems that may arise such as the situation they had over the weekend when a major water pipe broke and flooded the first floor, causing extensive damage to the servers. Included in the disaster plan I will address a few issues that will aid the company in protecting against such things as any natural disasters that may occur as well as any other occurrences that may deem necessary for such a disaster plan. I will detail my recommendations for using a RAID system for data protection in order to have a well placed back up plan with the most up to date information possible. In short I plan to properly detail a disaster plan the best possible way that I can in order to have a good disaster recovery plan in place rather than having to spend the time and money on extra recovery efforts. Hopefully having such a plan in place will keep from losing important data to unforeseen issues, such as natural disasters due to the geographical location among other issues that may arise at the most in opportune time possible. When creating a disaster plan the first thing to keep in mind is to do a complete risk assessment of the entire existing computer systems. In order to accomplish this task all the risks and probabilities will need to be noted such as any delays to system uptime and how close at hand these...

...Term Paper Proposal To: Dr. Vijay Karan From: Ming-Tzu Chou Date: 13 February 2012 Subject: Management control system Proposed Research Topic: How a new strategy saved and created a bright future for IBM in 90s. Statement of problem: In the early 1990s, IBM suffered in dramatically declining in the revenue of the mainframe sales, and the stock price also dropped. During the period, the personal computer was the most popular products in Information Technology market, and the mainframe was already outdated. Last but not least, IBM could not reduce its cost according to its size and bureaucracy. As a result, many people believed that IBM could only fell or be divided to smaller companies. Louis V. Gerstner, Jr., who was the new CEO, saved IBM and implemented different strategies in the company. Objective & Method: The purpose of the study is to evaluate how a new strategy affected IBM. Except the abstract, the term project will be separated to four parts: problem statement, strategy formulation and strategy planning of solutions, the summary of results, and recommendations. The term project should reach the following goals through in the four sections. 1. Problem statement will describe IBM’s previous business situation and introduce how problems had generated before Gerstner arrived. 2. The solutions from Gerstner will be deeply analyzed according to the theories from strategy formulation and strategy planning in the textbook. 3. The summary of results will be presented...

... 2012). Bleeding technology is relatively, new technology. Bleeding technology is unreliable because it has not been tested and it has not proven its worthiness or authenticity. A user will be taking a huge risk to use the bleeding technology which would be more expensive than the leading technology. Bleeding edge technology could be very costly and it could turn into something that could be the beginning of a serious problem. The reason why bleeding edge technology could cause many problems is because it is new and might be quite risky because of the instability. Bleeding edge technology has not been thoroughly tested and has not proven itself to be reliable. As an example of bleeding technology would be an early development of a new computer product that is being develop for the very first time. When a consumer decides to purchase the product, the cost is not the only thing that the consumer faces when choosing to purchase the bleeding edge technology; it is possible that the customer might get stuck with...

...1 Teachers’ Views of Computers as Catalysts for Changes in Their Teaching Practice Sara L. Dexter and Ronald E. Anderson University of Minnesota Henry Jay Becker University of California, Irvine This paper was published in the Journal of Research on Computing in Education. The citation for it is: Dexter, S., Anderson, R. E., & Becker, H. J. (1999). Teachers’ views of computers as catalysts for changes in their teaching practice. Journal of Research on Computing in Education, 31 (3), 221239. Abstract: In this study we examined the use of computers by teachers in their instructional practices and their perception of the impact of computers on changes they have made to their classroom practice. These data draw from 47 teachers from 20 K-12 schools across 3 states who each completed a questionnaire, participated in 3 semi-structured interviews, and allowed 3 observations of their classroom. The teachers who had adopted more progressive teaching practices over time felt computers helped them change but they did not acknowledge computers as the catalyst for change. Instead, they cited catalysts that included: reflection upon experience, classes taken, and the context or culture of the school. We conclude that in order for teachers to implement the use of educational technology in a constructivist manner, they must have opportunities to construct pedagogical knowledge in a supportive climate. Research funded by the program of Research on Education Policy and Practice at the National...

...LG’s Michael Ahn on Becoming a Global Player in the Consumer Electronics Market: Knowledge@Wharton ( http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article.cfm?articleid=2667) LG’s Michael Ahn on Becoming a Global Player in the Consumer Electronics Market Published : January 06, 2011 in Knowledge@Wharton In 2000, executives at South Korea-based LG Electronics set the goal of becoming a top-three player globally by the close of the decade. One year early, in 2009, the company achieved its goal. Meanwhile, revenue has jumped from $5.6 billion in 2004 to more than $13 billion in 2010. Michael Ahn guided the branding effort for LG Electronics North America before stepping down as regional president and CEO last year to become a senior adviser at LG Electronics USA. In a recent conversation with Knowledge@Wharton, Ahn -- who was visiting the University of Pennsylvania to make a speech as part of the Wharton Leadership Lecture series -- named patience, consumer-targeted marketing and achieving synergy among the firm's different divisions as the factors catapulting LG Electronics from a relatively obscure maker of commodity goods to a premium global brand.
