...Compare Different Unified Communication Platforms Stefanie Bailey IT/200 June 6, 2016 Mark Damron Compare Different Unified Communication Platforms My team compared the different Unified communication platforms. Softphone- is a software program that allows you to make calls over the internet using a computer. VoIP- voice over IP is voice information over the internet that sends the voice information in a digital form rather than the traditional telephone network. Half Duplex- is a computer circuit allowing the transmission of signals in both directions but not at the same time. Full Duplex is when both parties communicate as one. It allows data transmission to more than one device. PBX working on premises within an enterprise that (private branch exchange) is a private networking and switching system operates with traditional telephone lines One of the examples my team discussed of Softphone was Magic Jack because it is a phone service that is ran through internet and not actually wired through hardwire equipment. An example of VoIP would be the phone line being connected through your cable modem vs. the traditional way it use to be wired through your home. A great example of Half Duplex is a walkie talkie because you can talk to each person back and forth, however you have to take turns speaking no two people can talk at the same time. An example of Full Duplex would be a three way call because everyone is communicating at one time as well...

...members of aristocrat class were trying to break the throne’s power they ended up creating massive rebellion against them and the throne. Furthermore, some nobles who had the economic power and the ambition to rule the kingdom, started creating their own army which led the country to a period of chaos and uncertainty. Under these circumstance, several powerful families started controlling their regions and weakened the government’s authority over the peninsula both politically and economically “this shift in the locus of economic control over the countryside signified a growing erosion of the economic foundation of the central government”. The consequence of these events led the central government’s economy to a devastation, and drove the unified Silla kingdom into its end. As a conclusion, it is impossible to neglect the importance of the Buddhism while studying both rise and fall of the Silla Dynasty. As it played a major role in unifying people of Silla under the king in the glory days of the dynasty, and in later Silla the new concept of Buddhism created an unbalanced society and led the kingdom to anarchy and...

...SDLC Intro Systems Development Life Cycle, or SDLC, is the entire process of building, deploying, using, and updating an information system (Object-Oriented Analysis and Design with the Unified Process – Satzinger, Jackson, and Burd). It is a conceptual model that is used in project management and describes the stages that are comprised within an information system. One of the oldest models of SDLC is the Waterfall Approach. It is a series of junctures in which the output of each juncture becomes the input for the next. The 7 phases involved in this model are Project Planning, Systems Analysis, Systems Design, Implementation, Integration/Testing, Deployment, and Maintenance. Project Planning establishes the objectives and goals of the intended project. It also determines how to accomplish the project in the best possible way. Systems Analysis filters project goals into well-defined functions and operation of the intended project. This phase analyzes end-user information needs. Systems Design defines desired features and operations in detail. It includes screen layouts, business rules, process diagrams, pseudo code and other documentation. Implementation deals with the actual development of the system where it is built and programmed. Integration/Testing is the phase where the system is put into test. It is checked for errors, bugs, and interoperability. Deployment Phase is the final stage of the initial development. The system is carried out and put into production...

...Unified Modeling Language (UML) UML stand for Unified Modeling Language and will forever change the world of modeling. UML was introduced more than 10 years ago in 1997 with the combined of three modeling advocates techniques. One of the first to adopt the system was The Object Management Group (OMG), the immediately set the stage for a new world of modeling with UML leading the way. The UML version 1.x was composed of 9 distinct but was break down into three types; they are structural, behavioral, and interaction. Of course no system was prefect there were issues as well that lead to more researches. First of UML is very complex and not users friendly and doubt it’ll get any less according to the article. They required experience user and have to get users to learn it language. (Erickson, J. (2008)) The impact on modeling that UML was seen years later. Now most of the businesses around the world use it in their daily working and communication. The systems on which these businesses run are based on languages, which make the design of these systems easier than it would have been otherwise. System design and engineering complexities are greatly reduced by use of diagrams that convey much more than reams of paper would consume by way of text. Also, these diagrams used in modeling help to design the system faster and quicker. Unified Modeling Language (UML) is now one such Modeling language, used to make designing of systems faster and quicker. The UML is thus a visual...

...WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF UML? UML, standing for Unified Modeling Language is a programming language that changed the world of modeling software overnight due to its developments in setting industry standards in the modeling of software programs holding intensive programming. The design standard mentioned was developed and created by the Object Management group and was standardized in 1997, which since that time has become the industry standard for software and modeling developments. Using UML in software developments is important when visualizing, creating, documenting modifications, and designing a process flow within software development down to a unified architectural level. This changed the force of programming because there was no single standard for object related programming in the object oriented design market and there were multiple standards across unified markets and geographical boundaries. WHY WAS UML PROGRAMMING DEVELOPED? UML was developed because organizations and developers of the time needed simple relationships between software models and a universal approach to development practices. The level of detail that was put into UML coding was much greater than its predecessors and allowed for a much higher level of architecture drawings than the previous various models. UML made it easy for new people joining an organization to have a clear and concrete understanding of what is being mapped out due to the fact that the modeling language used during the development...
