Database Modeling and Normalization

Imagine that you work for a consulting firm that offers information technology and database services. Part of its core services is to optimize and offer streamlined solutions for efficiency. In this scenario, your firm has been awarded a contract to implement a new personnel system for a government agency. This government agency has requested an optimized data repository for its system, which will enable the management staff to perform essential human resources (HR) duties along with the capability to produce ad hoc reporting features for various departments. They look forward to holding data that will allow them to perform HR core functions such as hiring, promotions, policy enforcement, benefits management, and training.

Instructions
Using this scenario, write a 3–4 page paper in which you:

Determine the steps in the development of an effective entity relationship model (ERM) diagram and determine the possible iterative steps and factors that one must consider in this process, with consideration of the HR core functions and responsibilities of the client.

Analyze the risks that can occur if any of the developmental or iterative steps of creating an ERM diagram are not performed.

Select and rank at least five entities that would be required for the development of the data repositories.

Specify the components that would be required to hold time-variant data for policy enforcement and training management.

Diagram a possible 1:M solution that will hold salary history data, job history, and training history for each employee through the use of graphical tools. Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.

Plan each step of the normalization process to ensure the 3NF level of normalization using the selected five entities of the personnel database solution. Document each step of the process and justify your assumptions in the process.

Diagram at least five possible entities that will be required to sustain a personnel solution. (Note: The graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.) The diagram should include the following:

  • Dependency diagrams.
  • Multivalued dependencies.

The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length. Include charts or diagrams created in any chart or drawing tool with which you are familiar. The completed diagrams or charts must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.

An argument essay

OVERVIEW

This argument essay requires that you not only inform, but persuade a reasonable audience to agree with a specific claim that you are making about your issue and to motivate action.  You are making an argument in this paper, but beyond that you are seeking to persuade an audience to act on the argument you make.  This paper will be more challenging because, it requires that you “state your position unequivocally and make it appear reasonable – which requires that you offer evidence and defend against logical objections” (Behrens and Rosen 82).

GUIDELINES

Develop a comprehensive and detailed Argument that appeals to a reasonable audience and motivates action. Support your discussion by synthesizing evidence from different sources. Write a paper of 2-3 (double-spaced) pages. In addition to the essay, you will need to include a Works Cited page that indicates the sources you have used to complete your assignment. As you integrate direct textual evidence, your analysis should solely represent your own analytical thinking.

Consider the following questions when developing your Argument:

  • Purpose: How can you establish a need for taking action? What is significant and current about this issue?
  • Angle: Where can you add to this conversation? How can you best appeal to ethos, logos and pathos to motivate your audience to act?
  • Tone: What attitude about the issue should be clear in your writing? What words will convey this tone?
  • Evidence: What specific evidence from the texts should be provided to support your claim? What evidence will effectively to develop appeals as you articulate your reasons, your counterargument(s), and your call to action?
  • Contribution: What have you said that goes beyond the current conversation? How is your argument different from the ones that you researched on your topic?
  • Style: How clear is the language/style/expression in your argument?
  • Conclusion: What meaningful and significant action should your audience take based on your argument? What practical steps have you provided for your audience to act upon? How will taking these steps benefit your audience and the larger community?

Problem Description

During a criminal case investigation, a computer was taken as part of the evidence. The computer was found with a flash drive connected to one of the USB ports. It is suspected that this flash drive contains image files relevant to the case. Preliminary investigation revealed that the owner of the computer had the chance to delete some of image files. Other files were renamed so that they do not look like image files. It is also suspected that steganography was used with some of the files to conceal important information. The passphrase used for this purpose is hidden in the device slack space.

You are the computer forensic investigator on duty and are called to process this case. List the general steps and tools required to begin investigation. In addition, because it is a high level profile case, processes must be carefully documented.
