Business case: Blue Hills Water Authority
The United States has about 153,000 public drinking water systems. And Bule Hills Water Authority is the local one. Water systems are important for the health and stability of the nation.
You were tasked to improve the IT system of Blue Hills Water Authority by incorporating embedded systems in their Water Distribution Management System. Blue Hills Water Distribution Management System (DMS) has been used to monitor and control the water distribution system. DMS systems collect data from sensors and other devices in the distribution system, such as pressure gauges and flow meters. This data is used to identify and locate leaks, monitor water pressure, and optimize water distribution.
QUESTION 1: Draw the block diagram for the Embedded system that you would propose to improve the Blue Hills Water DMS. Your diagram must have the following sections: Memory, Sensors, actuators, human interface, and processor.
QUESTION 2: You are going to propose a solution for how the Develop the Embedded OS for the proposed Embedded for Blue Hills Water DMS. Would you prefer to take an existing OS and adapt it or Design and implement an OS for the Blue Hills Water DMS? Explain your solution with Advantages and disadvantages.
QUESTION 3: Blue Hills Water Authority decided to use Smart water meters on customer premises. They ask you to use Purpose-Built Embedded OS for these devices. Your OS will provide the following
operate with limited resources
adapt to hardware evolution
support a wide range of applications
support a diverse set of platforms
be robust
What kind of Embedded OS you would recommend? Explain your solution.
QUESTION 4 : Blue Hills Water managers would like to reduce IT operating costs, increase productivity, and simplify data center management. So, they would like to have one physical hardware that can run multiple OS and applications for the Water Distribution Management System. They would like to run multiple operating systems on a single computer. What is your solution for this request?

Suppose a teacher asks you to design a dashboard to monitor the students’ grades in different courses. Design a dashboard by identifying the basic elements that should be displayed on the dashboard using any drawing programming to give an idea of how the dashboard should look like. You should use some graphs and analysis on the dashboard.

Much of the focus in network security centers upon measures in preventing network intrusions and handling security events. There is also a growing debate about what proactive measures an organization should take. From a practical matter, what could some of these practical measures be? Also, are there any biblical principles around taking proactive measures against a probable attacker – and if so, to what extent should these measures go?

Describe the systems development life cycle (SDLC) methodology in the context of a “real” example. In other words, think about (or imagine) a situation where you proposed the need for a new information system. For this system development effort, describe what happened (or should happen) during the definition, build, and implementation phases.

I already completed the task of 1,2; I need proficient review and create adjustments, if required, to be efficient at the academic level using Harvard-style references.
Detail of the task – Specific Deliverables:
Task One: Critique of Research Papers
For this task you are given two research papers to read and analyze. You MUST provide a critique
for each paper by describing the following sections:
Summary of the paper
Problem addressed and research challenges.
Main contribution of the paper
Strong aspects of the paper
Weaknesses and suggestions for improvements
Task Two: Survey Paper include (7 papers)
In this part, you are asked to draw on the critiques prepared for task one and write a short survey paper about the same topic. You should also use and cite at least another five sources. The
survey paper should include the following sections:
Abstract
Introduction
Major research challenges in the area
Critique of existing work
Conclusion
References
Task Three: Essay about Legal, Social and Ethical issues of the selected topic
In this part, you should consider the same topic you selected in tasks One and Two, and identify
and discuss Legal, Social and Ethical issues associated with this topic. Write a brief essay (about 2
pages long) about the aspects you identified. There could be a large number of relevant issues; you should focus on maybe two or three only for each aspect (Legal, Social and Ethical). If you think
there are no issues for a given aspect, explain why this is so.
I upload all papers used to complete the task only use these papers. I uploaded as well papers to be used for task three.
