A. Encoding and decoding signals

Note: Hand
drawn plots will get 0 marks. You need to embed screenshots of your
plots and include the links generated by sharing your solution from the
Desmos online graph plotting tool (as introduced in the lab and
available at: https://www.desmos.com/calculator). Since group work is
not permitted, we expect each student to submit a different link! You
can access your individualised assignment parameters on Moodle.

1. Modulation – Analog signals

You
need to download your individualized assignment parameters from Moodle.
They contain two sets of encoding tables and encoded signals, A and B. For each of these, do the following:

a) Identify the type of encoding (FM, AM, PM, or combinations of these) and the size (in bits) of each symbol in the encoding.

• b) Draw the constellation diagram for the encoding (except if the encoding is FM).
• c) Draw the wave form for each symbol.
• d) Demodulate the given signal (i.e., give the bit sequence that it represents).

2. Digital encoding

The bit sequence C needs to be transmitted as a digital signal. Design an encoding, state the encoding rules (as a table), and plot the digital signal for the encoding schemes below.

• a) bipolar non return to zero inverted (NRZI)
• b) Manchester encoding

B. Technical Report

Based
on the scenario you find below, you are to write a technical report for
the senior executive of the company you work in, evaluating different
technologies to meet the company’s networking requirements.

The
rest of this specification is organised into two parts: 1) the scenario,
which explains the situation of the (imaginary) company you work for,
and 2) the instructions how you should approach this task.

1. Scenario

Your role / company overview: You work in the IT department of DataAnalytics.AU,
a start-up company that was spun out of Monash University with around
20 employees in Melbourne. The company is offering data analysis
services, where customers can upload large data sets and access
customised visual analyses through a web site.

Your company is
growing fast, and the plan is to move into new offices within the next
few months. You were hired as a user interface specialist, but when the
CIO (Chief Information Officer) found out that you did FIT9135 as part
of your Master’s degree, she gave you the task to design the network
infrastructure for the new offices.

2

Network requirements:

• Up
  to now, the company was operating its own web server in a Monash data
  centre. The projected growth in customers and staff means that a
  dedicated, more powerful server will be required. The company is
  considering hosting its own servers or paying for an “on- demand
  computing platform” such as Amazon Web Services, DigitalOcean, Linode etc.
• The
  new office space is located in an old warehouse, and you need to decide
  what kind of local network infrastructure should be installed. In
  addition to potentially supporting the company servers, the local
  network infrastructure needs to support a dynamic work environment,
  where staff don’t have assigned offices but move around with their
  laptops to work in small groups.
• The new office space needs to be connected to the Internet.

Your task:

For
the first requirement, your task is to do some research on the
advantages and disadvantages of hosting your own server versus using
online services. The second and third requirements are linked to the
first one. If the company decides to host their own servers, that may
have an impact on the required local network infrastructure and Internet
connection.

Research and analysis expected in the report:

• The
  CIO wants to be informed about the options at a technical level.
  However, they expect you to give them enough arguments to also convince
  their investors, in particular with respect to costs and benefits of any new technology.
• Go
  into some technical detail to explain differences between technologies.
  It will be useful to create tables for some of the comparisons. You can
  answer questions such as

o
Whatdevicesareinvolvedineachoptionandwhataretheirfunctions? o How does
hosting your own servers compare to online platforms in terms of
scalability,

reliability, and up-front versus long-term costs? o
Whatkindof(wiredandwireless)networktechnologyshouldbeinstalledinthenewoffice

space in order to facilitate the mobility of the staff? o What
are the available upstream and downstream capacities of different
Internet

providers? Is the technology scalable and future-proof,

i.e., can we buy more capacity later without investing in expensive new

hardware?

I need you to write term paper (15 pages minimum), and it must be zero plagiarism.

The topic is the importance of external audit in enhancing the financial statements.

The outline is ready to follow. Also, I need you to add to the outline and explain the following:

1- what is the implications for users and the auditors?

2- does the new audit report support the external audit or auditor in enhancing the financial statements?

3- How does it impact it? (the attached files will help you to answer them but don’t just copy from it).

In addition, renumber the contents that are in the outline according to the page number.

***You must give your reaction, and your opinion.

– At least (15) full pages.

-Font size 12.

-Double line spacing.

-Time roman.

-APA style

****Again, it must be zero plagiarism.

The 15 pages must not include the contents, cover and reference pages.

I have attached the new audit report.

For this assigment you will watch the videos on plagerism ,and then answer the following questions.Please respond with 400 words total:

After viewing reading the information about plagiarism and viewing the video , think about what plagiarism means. Then read the scenarios below. Next, craft a journal response of approximately 250 words, answer the questions posed below about the scenerios. Please make sure to support your ideas with evidence and explanations.

Video on Plagerism:

Scenario 1

Arthur is a busy man, juggling his family, work, and course work for a Criminal Justice degree. While working as a security guard, he learns that a coworker is also taking classes in criminal justice. After a long night of work, Arthur remembers he still has to complete his discussion posts in his hybrid class that evening in order to meet the deadline. He tells his friend about being tired and not wanting to go home and do school work. The friend offers to email Arthur the notes and discussion posts that he used when he took the same course about three months ago. Arthur thinks his friend’s posts sounds better than what he could write on his own. He is not sure if it is right to copy his friend’s work, so he decides to change the wording a little bit. He copies and pastes this into his discussion forum, logs off his computer, and settles on the couch to watch television.

Scenario 2

Michael is a single father that works full time and takes classes online to fit his busy schedule. His week has been rough, and he has had to work overtime the last four nights, causing him not to be able to tuck his kids into bed all four nights. He has promised his kids he would be home on time tonight, and while packing up his desk, he remembers that he has to submit his discussion post for his online course this night. The drive home will take an hour, and the time it will take to get there and write the post will cut into his ability to keep his promise to his kids. Michael knows from his reading that the post is very similar to one he wrote a few classes back. Michael, who cares deeply about acting with honor, does not think that this would be dishonest because the work was all his own and for the same college. Michael decides to copy his post from the previous course and reuse it for his current one, making very few modifications before leaving his office, so he will be clear to spend time with his kids.

Questions

• Are Arthur and Michael in compliance with the idea of academic honesty? Discuss each situation.
• Was Arthur’s friend in violation of academic honesty and why?
• What should each of these individuals have done instead?
• Is it acceptable to reuse the exact same work you submitted to a previous class without obtaining the permission of the instructor? Why or why not?
