... Question 1: What does computer networking accomplish? Computer networking is the interconnection of two or more computers to share resources. Computer networking has evolved beyond the sharing of resources; it allows people and machines to communicate, using some of the advanced features or services. Computer networking has brought about increased productivity, cost reduction and synergy between users. Other accomplishments of the computer networks include: • File sharing and management: One of the major accomplishments of computer networking is file sharing, which includes remote file accessing. Organizations or individuals can share documents irrespective of their location provided their PCs are interconnected. It saves time, and provides a more efficient means of transferring data, rather than using storage device to copy and transport data to the other user. • Resource sharing and management: Another important achievement of computer networking is resource sharing. All computers in a network can share resources such as printers, modems, switches, scanners, and fax machines. Data can be...

...obsolescent, undesirable and non-viable form of administration, and that there is an inevitable and irreversible paradigmatic shift towards market- or network organization. In contrast, the paper argues that contemporary democracies are involved in another round in a perennial debate and ideological struggle over what are desirable forms of administration and government, that is, a struggle over institutional identities and institutional balances. The argument is not that bureaucratic organization is a panacea and the answer to all challenges of public administration. Rather, bureaucratic organization is part of a repertoire of overlapping, supplementary and competing forms co-existing in contemporary democracies, and so are market-organization and network-organization. Rediscovering Weber’s analysis of bureaucratic organization, then, enriches our understanding of public administration. This is in particular true when we (a) include bureaucracy as an institution, and not only an instrument; (b) look at the empirical studies in their time and context, and not only at Weber’s ideal-types and predictions; and (c) take into account the political and normative order bureaucracy is part of, and not only the internal characteristics of “the bureau”. 2 Making sense of public administration Is “bureaucracy” an organizational dinosaur helplessly involved in its death struggle? Is it an undesirable and non-viable form of administration developed in a legalistic and authoritarian...

...As utilization of network, technology evolves so does security issues surrounding it. The growing demand of E-commerce on the internet continues to set infinite risks of being attacked. Security is paramount for safe and secure E-commerce sites. As properly installed and maintained firewall continue providing security, it is not adequate to provide defense against intrusion. For adequate defense against intrusion, Additional security appliances such as IPS, network scanners, IDS, and vulnerability assessment kits should; be part of the system. It is essential to protect one’s computer network in today’s global market environment. Intrusion detection system (IDS) is one of the significant software that can monitor intrusion activities. In Afghanistan we utilize and IPS, IDS, web proxy, event collector, and firewall as a security solution. As the demand of network, technology in the network continues to flood the market, so does its vulnerability. There are multiple ways of detecting an intrusion into the network. Intrusion detection products are increasingly becoming famous in the global market and are major intrusion detecting devices. Traditionally, firewall was believed to provide adequate defense against network intrusion, however; the recent growth of new software has prompted for other defense appliances. One of the fundamental principles of intrusion detection is to detect of any attempt of intrusion and alert the operator. This way, it will be possible for my boss...

...College Prepared by: Student Name I. Physical Network Design Network Topology Business Needs UOE is an institution that it is growing globally and diversifies its spears of academic excellence and markets itself. For the institution to achieve its goals and mission, use of computer systems and internet facilities installation should be prioritized. Today the world has become a global village and thus the need to put the infrastructure in place is essential. The institution looked at the need and considered it to be the priority. The organizations’ network has different users each with different privileges. The users are the administration, the staff and the students. My aim is to come up with an efficient, modular, resilient, structured and manageable network upon implementation with good structural and engineering principles. To meet the requirements of the organization, I propose a hierarchical network design needs to be implemented. This is because this design allows the use of the other topologies at different levels, growth and robustness. Hierarchical network design A hierarchical network is also called network backbone. The hierarchical system is divided into three tiers, namely core, distribution and access level, with the privileges reducing downwards. This design is most appropriate for the organization since it allows for network administrators to optimize and specify the correct hardware and software for the entire network that is changing from one level to another...

...Western civilization Achievements: Law and Administration Roads and bridges Institution of a bilingual culture Of greatest significance: Roman Law and Administration Based on principles of justice and reason Instituted a system of common laws to protect citizens Notable aspects that many modern day governments uphold today: The recognition that all men are to be treated equal under the law A person is to be considered guilty until proven innocent The ancient Roman civilization did more than establish one of the largest empires in the world; they also left an enduring legacy which continues to influence Western civilization. Achievements in the areas of law and administration, construction of roads and bridges, and the institution of a bilingual culture helped to form an cultural infrastructure that has prevailed through the ages. Of greatest significance, is the Romans contribution in the areas of law and administration Their laws were based on principles of justice and reason. They institutes a system of common laws that served to protect citizens. A couple of important aspects we continue to value today are the recognition that all people are to be treated equal under the law and that a person is to be considered innocent until proven guilty. Not only the law, but the structure of the Roman Republic, has influenced the basis of our own government with our executive, legislative, and judicial branches. This system of checks and balances can also be found...

...use the work “network”, without knowing what the real meaning is or what the technical meaning is. In easy words, a network is a group of computers connected by a transmission device. A computer which is not connected to any other computer is called a “stand-alone computer”. There are also 2 types of networks, peer-to-peer and client/server. Peer-to-peer is a ‘small’ group of computers directly connected. In peer-to-peer, all computers have authorization to do whatever and resources maybe equally shared. An example of peer-to-peer is connecting several computers to 1 Windows account, allowing them to be connected. Another type of network is client/server. In client/server, there is a main computer which...

...should get an organ donation first, health care professionals utilizes ethics of principles as a guide. The four ethics of principles states that people's autonomy should be respected, no harm should be done, health care professionals should do good, and justice should always prevail. The allocation of organ transplant is a form of treatment that also helps restore patient's life to a certain extent because there is always a chance that the recipient's system might reject the organ. Statistics shows that, in the US, at every given point in time, the ratio of available organ and the recipients are never proportionate. That is, the organs available are never enough for the amounts of recipients. Needless to say, the waiting list is always long, and proper strategies are always used in picking who gets the organ first. This situation as brought a lot of controversies as no one wants to die waiting for an organ and everyone thinks that their loved ones deserve to go first. Factors such as blood type, waiting time, right size donor and so on plays a big part in determining the priority of allocation. On the other hand, one of the biggest controversies that seem unethical is: whether or not the organ should be given to the sickest person on the list or to a patient who is less sick and consequently having a higher chances of living longer? When examining and evaluating how this issue applies to the principles of ethics, one can tell that simply allocating the organ to the sickest individual...

...SECURITY ISSUES AND PROCEDURES OF COMMUNICATION NETWORKS Student’s Name Institutional Affiliation Currently prompt evolution in computer communications linked to terminal-based, multi-operator systems, and in computer networks. Almost all these arrangements interconnect process, keep important data that is consider reserved or patented by their possessors and managers, or that should be protected from illegal access as a requisite of the law. Additionally, telecommunication systems, connected terminals, communication processors, and computers should be safeguarded from invaders who may strive to modify programs or files in the system, or to interrupt the facilities offered. The above threats are existent, as it is not challenging to interrupt communications in telecommunication systems, and the probability of connecting illegitimate terminals or computers into the scheme with the aim of “managing" the usual terminal-computer network, or making the system inaccessible to others. The security of such systems against the several dangers encompasses identification, and verification of the individuality, organized right to use to computers and their databases, and shelter of the information being carried in the telecommunication system. Related to every threat is various conceptual, along with technical challenges and a diversity of solutions.
