Each student will select one of the key terms listed below and conduct a search of Campbellsville University’s online Library resources to find 1 recent peer reviewed article (within the past 3 years) that closely relate to the concept. Your submission must include the following information in the following format:

Key terms:

Influence as it Relates to Negotiation

Persuasion as it Relates to Negotiation

Power as it Relates to Negotiation

Pressure as it Relates to Negotiation

DEFINITION: a brief definition of the key term followed by the APA reference for the term; this does not count in the word requirement.

SUMMARY: Summarize the article in your own words- this should be in the 150-200 word range. Be sure to note the article’s author, note their credentials and why we should put any weight behind his/her opinions, research or findings regarding the key term.

ANALYSIS: Using 300-350 words, write a brief analysis, in your own words of how the article relates to the selected chapter Key Term. An analysis is not rehashing what was already stated in the article, but the opportunity for you to add value by sharing your experiences, thoughts and opinions. This is the most important part of the assignment.

REFERENCES: All references must be listed at the bottom of the submission–in APA format

 Problem Statement DOMAIN: Linux Fundamentals Focus: Development Tom needs to create user accounts for new joiners Jane and Jack in his system and give them permission to view and edit common repositories. He needs to create a cron job to delete empty files and directory every day at 00:00 am and need to upgrade the system every week on Tuesday 6:00 am. As part of his role he also needs to monitor system usage (CPU load, Memory usage, disk usage, network usage, active logged in users). He needs to install Git as SCM in a remote system and put system usage data there. He would need to fetch the data on remote server and needs to maintain the remote server from his desktop as well. He also needs to restrict users to access youtube from this machine. Approach to Solve: 1. Tom creates user accounts for Jane and Jack in his system. 2. Separate home directories are created for each of the three users. 3. They have a common repository script where every user has access to view and edit files. 4. Tom installed git as the SCM in a remote system. 5. He set a chron job to delete empty files and directory from /tmp folder at 00:00 am. 6. He set a chron job to upgrade the system every week on Tuesday 6:00 am. 7. Tom creates a script which has functionalities to display CPU load, Memory usage, disk usage, network usage, active logged in users. 8. He puts them in git repository. 9. He runs the scripts to get data for remote server to check and maintain the remote server from his desktop. 10. He restricts users to access youtube from this machine. 

Competency

Evaluate cloud application benchmarking and tuning procedures.

Scenario

You are the cloud engineer for a construction company. Your company stores their complex architecture drawings on the public cloud.

The company has created a web application that allows clients to review the architecture drawings from this public cloud. The architectural drawings are large, which causes performance issues. Clients need to download the large files on their computers, causing an impact on the web site and creating client computer performance issues.

You are aware of benchmarking tools which can evaluate cloud service performances. Your manager asks you to compare some of these tools and recommend one to be implemented.

Instructions

Provide a proposal to your leadership to recommend a benchmarking tool and cloud services application. The proposal should include the following points.

• A list of available cloud benchmarking tools
• A comparison of this list
• An explanation of the importance of benchmarking
• A License Model for cloud benchmarking tools
• The steps used to evaluate the performance of benchmarking tools
• A description of the different ways to tune cloud services for improving performance

Be sure to use a professional tone and check your spelling and grammar.

Include a minimum of 5 scholarly resources

1. Consider the data set shown in Table 5.20 (439 page). (Chapter 5)

(a) Compute the support for itemsets {e}, {b, d}, and {b, d, e} by treating each transaction ID as a market basket.

(b) Use the results in part (a) to compute the confidence for the association rules {b, d} −→ {e} and {e} −→ {b, d}. Is confidence a symmetric measure?

(c) Repeat part (a) by treating each customer ID as a market basket. Each item should be treated as a binary variable (1 if an item appears in at least one transaction bought by the customer, and 0 otherwise). Use this result to compute the confidence for the association rules {b, d} −→ {e} and {e} −→ {b, d}.

.

2. Consider the transactions shown in Table 6.15, with an item taxonomy given in Figure 6.15 (515 page). (Chapter 6)

(a) What are the main challenges of mining association rules with item taxonomy?

(b) Consider the approach where each transaction t is replaced by an extended transaction t_ that contains all the items in t as well as their respective ancestors. For example, the transaction t = { Chips, Cookies} will be replaced by t_ = {Chips, Cookies, Snack Food, Food}. Use this approach to derive all frequent itemsets (up to size 4) with support ≥ 70%.

(c) Consider an alternative approach where the frequent itemsets are generated one level at a time. Initially, all the frequent itemsets involving items at the highest level of the hierarchy are generated. Next, we use the frequent itemsets discovered at the higher level of the hierarchy to generate candidate itemsets involving items at the lower levels of the hierarchy. For example, we generate the candidate itemset {Chips, Diet Soda} only if {Snack Food, Soda} is frequent. Use this approach to derive all frequent itemsets (up to size 4) with support ≥ 70%.

3. Consider a data set consisting of 220 data vectors, where each vector has 32 components and each component is a 4-byte value. Suppose that vector quantization is used for compression and that 216 prototype vectors are used. How many bytes of storage does that data set take before and after compression and what is the compression ratio? (Chapter 7)
