Task 3 [Marks 25]  

Q3. Case Study:  

Many wireless devices use wireless technology, yet they lack the necessary security protections. In  an Australian Information Security Association (AISA) members gathering in Melbourne a security  researcher, who has himself a diabetic, demonstrated a wireless attack on an insulin pump that  could change the delivery of the patient. In this gathering another AISA member who is a security  vendor found that they can scan a public space from up to 91 meters (300 feet) away, find  vulnerable pumps made by a specific medical device manufacturer, and then force these devices to  dispense fatal insulin doses. 

Based on the above scenario, write a short report and answer the following questions:  a) Conduct research on the current state of the attacks on wireless medical devices and proposed  defenses to mitigate the attack.  

b) Should the vendors who make this wireless medical device be forced to add security to their  devices? What should be the penalty if they do not?  

c) As per Australian cyber security laws, what should be the penalty for an attacker who  manipulates a wireless device.

Assignment Title: Practical Application and Research on Contemporary Systems Analysis and Design Issues

Assessment Overview:

This assessment relates to the unit learning outcomes as in the Unit of Study Guide. This assessment is designed to give students skills to explore the latest system analysis and design trends, challenges, and future directions.

In this individual research paper, you will explore a contemporary issue in systems analysis and design, integrating academic research with practical application. The assignment is designed to deepen your understanding of the selected issue and its real-world impact on business information systems. You will critically analyse the issue, apply relevant methodologies to a real-world or hypothetical scenario, and propose solutions to address the challenges it presents.

1. Issue Selection:

• What You’ll Do: Choose a contemporary issue from the list provided by the unit coordinator. Some examples of issues you might consider include:
  • Agile vs. Waterfall Methodologies: The challenges and benefits of agile methodologies compared to traditional waterfall approaches in system development.
  • Data Privacy and Security: How emerging privacy regulations, such as GDPR, impact system design and the challenges of ensuring compliance while maintaining system efficiency.
  • Integration of AI in System Design: The opportunities and challenges of incorporating artificial intelligence into business information systems, including issues related to data quality, bias, and explainability.
  • Cloud-Based Systems vs. On-Premises Systems: The considerations and trade-offs involved in choosing cloud-based solutions over traditional on-premises systems, including security, cost, and scalability.
  • User-Centred Design: The importance of user experience (UX) in systems analysis and design, and the challenges of balancing user needs with technical requirements.

2. Research and Practical Application:

• What You’ll Do: Start by conducting a literature review on your chosen issue. Look for academic articles, industry reports, and case studies that discuss the issue in depth. Then, apply the insights from your research to a practical scenario. For example:
  • Agile vs. Waterfall Methodologies: After reviewing the strengths and weaknesses of both approaches, you could apply them to a project management scenario in a software development company. You might create a prototype or design document showing how an agile approach could be adapted to a traditionally waterfall project, highlighting the potential benefits and challenges.
  • Data Privacy and Security: If your issue is data privacy, you could apply your research to a company that needs to redesign its information systems to comply with GDPR. This could involve proposing specific changes to data storage and processing practices and demonstrating how these changes would be implemented.

3. Impact and Solution Analysis:

• What You’ll Do: Analyse how the selected issue impacts the design and implementation of business information systems in your scenario. Discuss how the issue affects system functionality, data management, and the communication of requirements to stakeholders. Then, propose practical solutions or methodologies that could address these challenges. For example:
  • Agile vs. Waterfall Methodologies: Your analysis might reveal that while agile offers greater flexibility, it may be less effective in highly regulated industries where detailed documentation is required. You could propose a hybrid approach that incorporates the flexibility of agile with the structure of waterfall.
  • Integration of AI in System Design: You might identify that the use of AI introduces new challenges in data quality and bias. To address this, you could propose a framework for regular audits of AI systems to ensure they are fair and transparent.

4. Documentation and Communication:

• What You’ll Do: Compile your findings, analysis, and proposed solutions into a well-organized research paper. Your paper should clearly articulate both the theoretical research and the practical application. Ensure your writing is accessible to both technical and non-technical audiences, using clear explanations and supporting your arguments with evidence from your research and application.

COMP6210 – Big Data Assignment help

COMP6210 – Big Data Assignment 1 

MapReduce 

Semester 2, 2024 

School of Computing, Macquarie University 

Dataset: 

The Olympic historical dataset “Olympic_Athletes.zip” is available on iLearn. This dataset contains information  about athletes who participated in the Summer and Winter Olympic Games from 1896 to 2022. 

Programming Environment: 

• MongoDB & Studio 3T: Used for creating databases and importing datasets into collections. • Pymongo: Used for connecting to MongoDB and extracting information from documents within  collections. 

• Mrjob: Used for implementing MapReduce programs. 

Task 1: Data Curation (20 marks) 

• Task 1.1 – Data Extraction (10 marks): Extract information about medal-winning athletes in the Summer Olympics from the 1980 edition to the 2020 edition. Note that you need to verify whether the athlete  participated in the Summer Olympics and whether they won a medal (gold, silver, or bronze). Then, extract  the following values: 

For each qualified athlete, create an entry in the format: <id, country, year, event, medal>. Store these entries  in a text file named “athletes.txt”. Refer to the following screenshot for formatting (note that the screenshot  is for reference purpose only; actual results may vary).

You can also use other delimiters, such as commas, semicolons, underscores, or quotation marks, to separate  each line’s values. The “athletes.txt” text file will then serve as the input for the subsequent MapReduce  programs. 

• Task 1.2 – Data Organization (10 marks): Using the generated “athletes.txt” file as input, implement a  MapReduce program to sort the data in ascending order based on the athlete id. The partial results of Task  1.2 are similar to the following screenshot (note that the screenshot is for formatting reference only; actual  results may vary). 

Note that for records with the same athlete ID, there is no specific requirement regarding their order.

 

Task 2: Data Analysis with MapReduce (60 marks) 

Using the generated “athletes.txt” file as input, implement three MapReduce programs to complete the  following analysis tasks. 

• Task 2.1 (20 marks) Find the top three athletes who won the most number of medals in each category (gold, silver, and bronze) in 1980-2020. Firstly, you need to calculate the total number of medals each  athlete has earned in gold, silver, and bronze categories, respectively. Next, sort the athletes in descending  order based on their medal counts for each category. Finally, for each medal category, output the top three athletes along with their respective medal counts. 

Note that there is no specific requirement regarding the order of medal categories. The partial results of  Task 2.1 are similar to the following screenshot (the screenshot is for formatting reference only; actual  results may vary). 

• Task 2.2 (20 marks) Find the top three countries with the most number of gold medals in 1980-2020. First, you need to count the total number of each medal type (gold, silver, and bronze) for each country.  Then, sort the countries in descending order based on their gold medal count. Finally, output the top three countries along with their medal counts for all medal types (gold, silver, and bronze). 

The partial results of Task 2.2 are similar to the following screenshot (note that the screenshot is for  formatting reference only; actual results may vary). 

• Task 2.3 (20 marks) Find the top three events with the highest medal counts for each decade in 1980- 2020. Firstly, for each decade (e.g., 2010-2020, 1980-1989, etc.), you need to find the event with the  greatest number of medals for each country, i.e., calculate the total medal count by summing gold, silver,  and bronze medals. Then, within each decade, sort the events by their total medal count in descending  order, and output the medal counts of the top 3 events (Note: The decades should be listed in descending  order, and the medal counts for the top 3 events within each decade should be also sorted in descending  order). 

The partial results of Task 2.3 are similar to the following screenshot (note that the screenshot is for  formatting reference only; actual results may vary). 

Task 3: MapReduce Flowcharts (20 marks) 

For the three MapReduce programs in Task 2, create a 3-4 page Word or PDF document that includes  flowcharts to illustrate the process of each MapReduce program. You can use specific data examples to clarify  the processes. Note that your flowcharts should be consistent with your code. You can refer to the following  example provided in the Week 5 lecture notes as an example. 

To create your diagrams, we recommend using the online diagramming tool. If you choose  to use online tools, you can include the diagram link in your document. 

Programming Environment:  

You are required to use Python to complete all code-related parts of this assignment. The use of other  programming languages is strictly prohibited and will result in a loss of all marks. 

For Task 1.2 and Tasks 2.1-2.3, you are required to use only the MapReduce model to complete the corresponding  tasks. The use of any additional Python programs is not allowed. Even if correct results are obtained, failing  to use MapReduce will result in 0 marks. 

Submission: 

Submit a zip file named ‘FirstName_LastName_Assignment1.zip’ via iLearn. The submission should include the  following items: 

• Source code for Task 1: ‘task1_1.py’ and ‘task1_2.py’. 

• Source code for Task 2: ‘task2_1.py’, ‘task2_2.py’, and ‘task2_3.py’. 

• Output files for Task 1: ‘athletes.txt’ and ‘output1_2.txt’. 

• Output files for Task 2: ‘output2_1.txt’, ‘output2_2.txt’, and ‘output2_3.txt’.
