The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) provides an extensive amount of information, resources, and guidance on IT and information security topics. The Federal Information Security Management Act (FISMA) provides standards and guidelines for establishing information security within federal systems. However, there have been, and continues to be, numerous security incidents including data breaches within federal systems. Review the information about FISMA at the NIST Website, located at http://csrc.nist.gov/groups/SMA/fisma/index.html. Additionally, review the information, located at http://www.govtech.com/blogs/lohrmann-on-cybersecurity/Dark-Clouds-Over-Technology-042212.html, about the data breaches within government systems.<br>Select one (1) of the data breaches mentioned to conduct a case analysis, or select another based on your research, and research more details about that incident to complete the following assignment requirements.<br><br>Describe the data breach incident and the primary causes of the data breach.<br>Analyze how the data breach could have been prevented with better adherence to and compliance with regulatory requirements and guidelines, including management controls; include an explanation of the regulatory requirement (such as from FISMA, HIPAA, or others).<br>Assess if there are deficiencies in the regulatory requirements and whether they need to be changed, and how they need to be changed, to mitigate further data breach incidents.

Prepare a single, stand-alone paragraph (not exceeding 200 words) on your research topic.

Topic: Climate change modelling
Description: Predicting future climates can be complex, as we can not simply extrapolate these from past climates. To ascertain future climates models need to incorporate all of the nonlinear processes (i.e. range and interconnectedness of climate drivers) under any future scenario. Global Climate Models (GCMs) are mathematical models that rely on the laws of physics. Climate models are generally robust, with uncertainties arising due to unknowable or ranging parameterisations. GCMs predict future climate scenarios and detail the management of natural resources, infrastructure and disaster mitigation under these future scenarios.

Task: Prepare a single, stand-alone paragraph (not exceeding 200 words) on your research topic. Your standalone paragraph should be written in either first or third person and include:
Background: As an introduction to your topic (or why this research question is being asked).
Clearly stated research question or statement.
Draft of proposed scope for your research topic (i.e. what is included or exempt from your research topic, and why).
Overarching importance of this topic in a broader scientific context.
Citing of at least two primary articles published between 2016 and present.
Reference list formatted to the Undergraduate Research in Science Practice and Communication (UR-SPC: A guide for authors).
PLEASE WRITE THE PROPOSAL USING THIS TOPIC!!!

Create a prototype decision support system to help with animalmanagement on Bunny Island.

Computers in Business BUSI1001Resit Coursework QuestionMaximum word count 2000 words, not counting screen shots.Your task is to create a prototype decision support system to help with animalmanagement on Bunny Island. Scientists want to be able to analyse whathappens if they cull foxes or if a virus attacks the rabbits. Implement a model ofthe predator-prey relationship between foxes and rabbits in a spreadsheet as wedid in class (or see the Information Systems @ Work case on Page 288 of thecore text). The values you use for the populations and other parameters areunimportant – it is the design of your spreadsheet that matters. Create a reportthat shows the following:1. A screenshot or series of screenshots showing your spreadsheet.2. A list of formula you have used (you might be able to show these in thescreenshots).3. A graph to show the oscillation between the two populations over time.4. An analysis of what happens if the rate of predation increases – how high doesit have to go before all the rabbits die out?5. An analysis of a potential virus that starts killing foxes (that is, the death rateincreases) – what happens to the number of rabbits?6. A short discussion of which is more useful in making decisions – thespreadsheet text or the graphs you have produced?7. A short discussion of the pros and cons of Microsoft Excel versus LibreOffice.Note that the core text is Principles of Business Information Systems by Stair,Reynolds & Chesney, Third Edition.
