2.  What is data mining? Support your discussion with at least 3 references.

3.  What is text mining? Support your discussion with at least 3 references.

I need a discussion on these a bit and then pros and cons in detail with 300 words.

Please use API format and avoid plagiarism.

Initial Post: Respond to each prompt below.

1. Describe one hardware component that are essential to YOU as a consumer. Provide three options (brand, style, etc.) for the component.
2. Offer two new or interesting details about hardware and software from the consumer report. Write one question that you have about technology after reading the consumer report.

Example:

1.A hardware that I find very important and that we tend to forget is a printer. Especially the all –in-one printer that we can generally see in most electronic stores. Even though the trend is to go paperless, the majority of us cannot follow it. As a student, I need to print and scan papers few times a week, therefore an all-in-one printer is very essential for me.

Brand:There are too many brands out there that produce an all-in-one printer, but the most popular ones are: Canon, HP, Brother, and Samsung. I personally go with Brother, because compared to the other brands, Brother focuses in producing printers. Canon, HP, and Samsung all produce other electronic products.

Price:I take a quick look on Brother’s Website and an all-in-one printer’s price varies from $79.99 to $599.99. Of course, students or households don’t need to buy an expensive one. The $79.99 one is more than perfect and will last long if well taking care of. Also, many retail store may sell them at a lower price.

Features:An all-in-one printer gives you not only the possibility to print, but also to scan and to fax. Most them can print on different types of paper and also recto-verso. Scanning on these machines can be made by deposing the paper on the top tray or by placing the paper in the glass flatbed inside of the printer. Faxing is not as popular as it was before because of emails, but it can be something useful depending on the situation. To fax, paper has to be placed on the top tray and a phone number has to be entered on the keypad. One important feature that many people forget about is the possibility to connect the printer to Wi-Fi. This option is a must in today’s world because it let’s use print or scan from anywhere and from any device as long as we are connected to the same Wi-Fi. For example, I can print a document from my smartphone or tablet wirelessly.

2.After reading the Consumer Report about the all-in-one printers, I learned that it used a certain type of printing and I found out that an application to let us print from our smartphone or tablet is already downloaded in our devices.

Printing type:There are different types of printing and this product uses a a printing type named “Inkjet”. Inkjet prints paper by deposing droplets of ink on the paper instead of speaking it like other printers. It was interesting to see that this method of printing is very efficient. It takes less time for the ink to dry and it uses less ink than other printing procedures.

App:Imagine that we are reading an interesting article on your tablet and that we decide we want to print it. Normally, we would send the link of the article to our email, open the link from a computer, and then print the article. With the applications Apple AirPrint and Google Cloud Print already installed in our iOS or Android device, we can simply click on a button and our article gets printed. We don’t need to deal with the struggle of downloading the app or go through a third party application.

Question:After reading the Consumer Report and people reviews, I realized that printers are becoming less used with time. I wonder if it will stay among us or if it will join the floppy dick and the DVD player?

1. This assignment consists of two (2) sections: a project introduction and a project plan. You must submit both sections as separate files for the completion of this assignment. Label each file name according to the section of the assignment it is written for. Additionally, you may create and / or assume all necessary assumptions needed for the completion of this assignment.

   You are a newly appointed Chief Information Officer (CIO) of a $25 million dollar data collection and analysis company that has been operating less than two (2) years. It is expected to grow by 60% over the next eighteen (18) months. Your company currently collects data using Web analytics and combines it with operational systems data. Web analytics is an increasingly important part of most business marketing plans. Your company is looking for ways to leverage the collected data but wants to ensure that the information technology infrastructure will support the expected growth that the company is anticipating.  The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) has given you sixty (60) days to deliver a comprehensive information systems project plan to address the organizational growth that the company is experiencing. The company will be expanding from one (1) floor to three (3) floors within six (6) months. Since this is a relatively new company, there is currently limited technology infrastructure to support the business. All information technology (hardware and software) must be redesigned to meet organizational needs. The solution should be implemented in either a hosted solution, on-site solution, or a hybrid model. The CEO is expecting you to integrate different technologies from different partners and incorporate industry best practices and cost-effective solutions in connection with the development of technological systems.  In addition, the CEO is extremely interested in cloud computing technologies and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) but is leery of security issues that may be associated. However, he is sure that you will implement proper security protocols. The company currently consists of twenty (20) employees of which four (4), including yourself, are dedicated to the IT organization.

 Project 1 Introduction – the SeaPort Project series For this set of projects for the course, we wish to simulate some of the aspects of a number of Sea Ports. Here are the classes and their instance variables we wish to define:  SeaPortProgram extends JFrame o variables used by the GUI interface o world: World  Thing implement Comparable  o index: int o name: String o parent: int  World extends Thing o ports: ArrayList  o time: PortTime  SeaPort extends Thing o docks: ArrayList  o que: ArrayList  // the list of ships waiting to dock o ships: ArrayList  // a list of all the ships at this port o persons: ArrayList  // people with skills at this port  Dock extends Thing o ship: Ship  Ship extends Thing o arrivalTime, dockTime: PortTime o draft, length, weight, width: double o jobs: ArrayList   PassengerShip extends Ship o numberOfOccupiedRooms: int o numberOfPassengers: int o numberOfRooms: int  CargoShip extends Ship o cargoValue: double o cargoVolume: double o cargoWeight: double  Person extends Thing o skill: String  Job extends Thing – optional till Projects 3 and 4 o duration: double o requirements: ArrayList  // should be some of the skills of the persons  PortTime o time: int Eventually, in Projects 3 and 4, you will be asked to show the progress of the jobs using JProgressBar’s. 2 Here’s a very quick overview of all projects: 1. Read a data file, create the internal data structure, create a GUI to display the structure, and let the user search the structure. 2. Sort the structure, use hash maps to create the structure more efficiently. 3. Create a thread for each job, cannot run until a ship has a dock, create a GUI to show the progress of each job. 4. Simulate competing for resources (persons with particular skills) for each job. Project 1 General Objectives Project 1 – classes, text data file, GUI, searching  Define and implement appropriate classes, including: o instance and class variables, o constructors, o toString methods, and o other appropriate methods.  Read data from a text file: o specified at run time,  JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser (“.”); // start at dot, the current directory o using that data to create instances of the classes, o creating a multi-tree (class instances related in hierarchical, has-some, relationships), and o organizing those instances in existing JDK structures which can be sorted, such as ArrayList’s.  Create a simple GUI: o presenting the data in the structures with with some buttons and o text fields supporting SEARCHING on the various fields of each class. Documentation Requirements: You should start working on a documentation file before you do anything else with these projects, and fill in items as you go along. Leaving the documentation until the project is finished is not a good idea for any number of reasons. The documentation should include the following (graded) elements:  Cover page (including name, date, project, your class information)  Design o including a UML class diagram o classes, variables and methods: what they mean and why they are there o tied to the requirements of the project  User’s Guide o how would a user start and run your project o any special features 3 o effective screen shots are welcome, but don’t overdo this  Test Plan o do this BEFORE you code anything o what do you EXPECT the project to do o justification for various data files, for example  Lessons Learned o express yourself here o a way to keep good memories of successes after hard work Project 1 Specific Goals: 1. Create a GUI 2. Let the user select a data file, using JFileChooser 3. Read the data file, creating the specified internal data structure (see the Introduction for the classes and variables of the structure). 4. Display the internal data structure in a nice format in the GUI 1. use JScrollPane and JTextArea 5. Display the results of a Search specified by the user 1. JTextField to specify the search target 2. Searching targets: name, index, skill would be a minimum you are encouraged to provide other options 3. Note that a search may return more than one item 4. DO NOT create new data structures (beyond the specified interna 4 // dock name index parent(port) // dock    dock Pier_5 20005 10001 30005 // ship name index parent(dock/port) weight length width draft // ship         ship Reason 40003 10000 165.91 447.15 85.83 27.07 // cship name index parent(dock/port) weight length width draft cargoWeight cargoVolume cargoValue // cship            cship Suites 40003 10000 165.91 447.15 85.83 27.07 125.09 176.80 857.43 // pship name index parent(dock/port) weight length width draft numPassengers numRooms numOccupied // pship            pship “ZZZ_Hysterics” 30002 20002 103.71 327.92 56.43 30.23 3212 917 917 // person name index parent skill // person      person Alberto 50013 10001 cleaner // job name index parent duration [skill]* (zero or more, matches skill in person, may repeat) // job     []* (ie, zero or more)  job Job_10_94_27 60020 30007 77.78 carpenter cleaner clerk You may assume that the data file is correctly formatted and that the parent links exist and are encountered in the data file as item indices before they are referenced as parent links. There is a Java program (CreateSeaPortDataFile.java) provided with this package that will generate data files with various characteristics with the correct format. You should be using the program to generate your own data files to test various aspects of your project programs.

Each class should have an appropriate toString method. Here is an example of two such methods:  In SeaPort – showing all the data structures: public String toString () {  String st = “\n\nSeaPort: ” + super.toString();  for (Dock md: docks) st += “\n” + md;  st += “\n\n — List of all ships in que:”;  for (Ship ms: que ) st += “\n > ” + ms;  st += “\n\n — List of all ships:”;  for (Ship ms: ships) st += “\n > ” + ms;  st += “\n\n — List of all persons:”;  for (Person mp: persons) st += “\n > ” + mp; 7  return st;  } // end method toString  In PassengerShip, using parent toString effectively:  public String toString () {  String st = “Passenger ship: ” + super.toString();  if (jobs.size() == 0)  return st;  for (Job mj: jobs) st += “\n – ” + mj;  return st;  } // end method toString Each class should have an appropriate Scanner constructor, allowing the class to take advantage of super constructors, and any particular constructor focusing only on the addition elements of interest to that particular class. As an example, here’s one way to implement the PassengerShip constructor:  PassengerShip Scanner constructor, the earlier fields are handled by Thing (fields: name, index, parent) and Ship (fields: weight, length, width, draft) constructors.  public PassengerShip (Scanner sc) {  super (sc);  if (sc.hasNextInt()) numberOfPassengers = sc.nextInt();  if (sc.hasNextInt()) numberOfRooms = sc.nextInt();  if (sc.hasNextInt()) numberOfOccupiedRooms = sc.nextInt();  } // end end Scanner constructor In the World class, we want to read the text file line by line. Here are some useful methods types and code fragments that you should find helpful:  Handling a line from the file:  void process (String st) {  // System.out.println (“Processing >” + st + “<“);  Scanner sc = new Scanner (st);  if (!sc.hasNext())  return;  switch (sc.next()) {  case “port” : addPort (sc);  break;  Finding a ship by index – finding the parent of a job, for example:  Ship getShipByIndex (int x) {  for (SeaPort msp: ports)  for (Ship ms: msp.ships)  if (ms.index == x)  return ms;  return null;  } // end getDockByIndex  Linking a ship to its parent:  void assignShip (Ship ms) {  Dock md = getDockByIndex (ms.parent);  if (md == null) { 8  getSeaPortByIndex (ms.parent).ships.add (ms);  getSeaPortByIndex (ms.parent).que.add (ms);  return;  }  md.ship = ms;  getSeaPortByIndex (md.parent).ships.add (ms);  } // end method assignShip You will probably find the comments in the following helpful, they are mostly about similar projects and general issues in Java relevant to our programs:  CMSC 335 Information  Cave Strategy – getting started Deliverables: 1. Java source code files 2. Data files used to test your program 3. Configuration files used 4. A well-written document including the following sections: a. Design: including a UML class diagram showing the type of the class relationships b. User’s Guide: description of how to set up and run your application c. Test Plan: sample input and expected results, and including test data and results, with screen snapshots of some of your test cases d. Optionally, Comments: design strengths and limitations, and suggestions for future improvement and alternative approaches e. Lessons Learned f. Use one of the following formats: MS Word docx or PDF. Your project is due by midnight, EST, on the day of the date posted in the class schedule. We do not recommend staying up all night working on your project – it is so very easy to really mess up a project at the last minute by working when one was overly tired. Your instructor’s policy on late projects applies to this project. Submitted projects that show evidence of plagiarism will be handled in accordance with UMUC Policy 150.25 — Academic Dishonesty and Plagiarism. Format: The documentation describing and reflecting on your design and approach should be written using Microsoft Word or PDF, and should be of reasonable length. The font size should be 12 point. The page margins should be one inch. The paragraphs should be double spaced. All figures, tables, equations, and references should be properly labeled and formatted using APA style. 9 Coding Hints:  Code format: (See Google Java Style guide for specifics (https://google.github.io/styleguide/javaguide.html)) o header comment block, including the following information in each source code file: o file name o date o author o purpose o appropriate comments within the code o appropriate variable and function names o correct indentation  Errors: o code submitted should have no compilation or run-time errors  Warnings: o Your program should have no warnings o Use the following compiler flag to show all warnings: javac -Xlint *.java o More about setting up IDE’s to show warnings o Generics – your code should use generic declarations appropriately, and to eliminate all warnings  Elegance: o just the right amount of code o effective use of existing classes in the JDK o effective use of the class hierarchy, including features related to polymorphism.  GUI notes: o GUI should resize nicely o DO NOT use the GUI editor/generators in an IDE (integrated development environment, such as Netbeans and Eclipse) o Do use JPanel, JFrame, JTextArea, JTextField, JButton, JLabel, JScrollPane  panels on panels gives even more control of the display during resizing  JTable and/or JTree for Projects 2, 3 and 4  Font using the following gives a nicer display for this program, setting for the JTextArea jta:  jta.setFont (new java.awt.Font (“Monospaced”, 0, 12)); o GridLayout and BorderLayout – FlowLayout rarely resizes nicely  GridBagLayout for extreme control over the displays  you may wish to explore other layout managers o ActionListener, ActionEvent – responding to JButton events  Starting with JDK 8, lambda expression make defining listeners MUCH simpler. See the example below, with jbr (read), jbd (display) and jbs (search) three different JButtons. jcb is a JComboBox  and jtf is a JTextField.  jbr.addActionListener (e -> readFile());  jbd.addActionListener (e -> displayCave ());  jbs.addActionListener (e -> search ((String)(jcb.getSelectedItem()), jtf.getText())); 10 o JFileChooser – select data file at run time o JSplitPane – optional, but gives user even more control over display panels Grading Rubric: Attribute Meets Does not meet Design 20 points Contains just the right amount of code. Uses existing classes in the JDK effectively. Effectively uses of the class hierarchy, including features related to polymorphism. 0 points Does not contain just the right amount of code.
