Alpha’s Murals is a company that paints interior and exterior murals for both business and residential customers. Write a program named Beta App that performs the following tasks:
Task 1: Display your personal information including your last name, first name and your student ID. Make these surrounded by a border composed of asterisks.
Task 2: The application prompts the user to enter the number of orders for interior and exterior murals. This number has to be between 0 and 30 (inclusive). Otherwise, the program prompts the user to re-enter the number.
Task 3: Display the number of orders of interior and exterior murals. Compute and display the expected revenue for each type of mural and the total revenue from both types. Interior murals cost $500.00 each, and exterior murals cost $750.00 each.
Note that all revenues should be displayed using currency format.
Task 4: Display a statement based on the following conditions:
If the number of exterior murals ordered is greater than the number of interior murals, the program should display “Exterior murals are becoming more attractive!”, else, the program displays “Interior murals are becoming popular!”.
If the number of the orders are equal, then display “Both types are equally preferred!”
Task 5: The user is prompted to input information for interior mural orders. Each interior mural order includes customer name and mural code: L for landscape, S for seascape, A for abstract, and O for others. Make sure that all the entered codes are valid (L, S, A or O), and, if not, prompt the user to re-enter the correct code. The number of orders should be the same as the number of interior murals ordered in Task 2.
After the data entry for all the customers is complete, display a count of the number of customers ordering each type of interior mural.
Then, continuously prompt the user for a mural code until the user enters a sentinel value. For each code entry, display a list of the customers ordering that type of mural, or display a message that the code is not valid, and re-prompt the user for a valid mural code.
Note: You must use arrays in Task 5 in order to achieve the maximum marks.
A sample screenshot for Task 2, 3, 4 and first part of Task 5 is provided below.
In completing your assignment, please take note of the following:
You should not use any C# concepts which have not been taught as part of Lectures 1 – 5 and covered in Tutorials 1 – 5.

Referencing guides
You must reference all the sources of information you have used in your assessments. Please use the IEEE referencing style when referencing in your assessments in this unit. Refer to the library’s referencing guides for more information.
Academic misconduct
VIT enforces that the integrity of its students’ academic studies follows an acceptable level of excellence. VIT will adhere to its VIT Policies, Procedures and Forms where it explains the importance of staff and student honesty in relation to academic work. It outlines the kinds of behaviors that are “academic misconduct”, including plagiarism.
Late submissions
In cases where there are no accepted mitigating circumstances as determined through VIT Policies,Procedures and Forms, late submission of assessments will lead automatically to the imposition of a penalty. Penalties will be applied as soon as the deadline is reached.
Short extensions and special consideration
Special Consideration is a request for:
• Extensions of the due date for an assessment, other than an examination (e.g. assignment extension).
• Special Consideration (Special Consideration in relation to a Completed assessment, including an end-of-unit Examination).
Students wishing to request Special Consideration in relation to an assessment the due date of which has not yet passed must engage in written emails to the teaching team to Request for Special Consideration as early as possible and prior to start time of the assessment due date, along with any accompanying documents, such as medical certificates.
For more information, visit VIT Policies, Procedures and Forms.
Inclusive and equitable assessment
Reasonable adjustment in assessment methods will be made to accommodate students with a documented disability or impairment. Contact the unit teaching team for more information.
Contract Cheating
Contract cheating usually involves the purchase of an assignment or piece of research from another party. This may be facilitated by a fellow student, friend or purchased on a website. Other forms of contract cheating include paying another person to sit an exam in the student’s place.
Contract cheating warning:
• By paying someone else to complete your academic work, you don’t learn as much as you could have if you did the work yourself.
• You are not prepared for the demands of your future employment.
• You could be found guilty of academic misconduct.
• Many of the pay contract cheating companies recycle assignments despite guarantees of “original, plagiarism-free work” so similarity is easily detected by TurnitIn.
• Penalties for academic misconduct include suspension and exclusion.
• Students in some disciplines are required to disclose any findings of guilt for academic misconduct before being accepted into certain professions (e.g., law).
• You might disclose your personal and financial information in an unsafe way, leaving yourself open to many risks including possible identity theft.
• You also leave yourself open to blackmail – if you pay someone else to do an assignment for you, they know you have engaged in fraudulent behavior and can always blackmail you.

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.

System Analysis and Design (HI5030 T2) Assignment Help
Individual Assessment Cover page
Instructions
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.
The report submission structure is as follows:

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’.
