Please select a Disaster Recovery Plan (DRP) for any selected scenario. You can choose any organization’s plan or create your own.

1. Describe the key elements of the Disaster Recovery Plan to be used in case of a disaster and the plan for testing the DRP.

2. Briefly discuss the internal, external, and environmental risks, which might be likely to affect the business and result in loss of the facility, loss of life, or loss of assets. Threats could include weather, fire or chemical, earth movement, structural failure, energy, biological, or human.

3. Of the strategies of shared-site agreements, alternate sites, hot sites, cold sites, and warm sites, identify which of these recovery strategies is most appropriate for your selected scenario and why.

4. For each testing method listed, briefly describe each method and your rationale for why it will or will not be included in your DRP test plan.

• Include at least Eight (8) reputable sources.
• Your final paper should be 1,000-to-1,250-words, and written in APA Style.

Please describe an instance of which you are aware of which an act of internet crime took place.

Values in Computational Models Revalued

Computational models are mathematical representations that are designed to study the behaviour of complex systems. Systems under study are usually nonlinear and complex to the extent that conventional analytics cannot be used. Scholars have tried to establish the role played by trust and values in the use of such models in the analysis of public administration.

Public decision-making is itself a complex endeavour that involves the input of multiple stakeholders. Usually, there are a lot of conflicting interests that influence the final outcome of such decision-making processes (Klabunde & Willekens, 2016). In a computational model, a number of factors equally influence the outcome of the process. One of them is the number of actors involved –the presence of more actors normally implies increased mistrust. Another factor is the amount of trust that already exists among the decision makers. In cases where the group is homogenous, there is likely to be more trust and thus, less concern about the number of actors involved.  

Given the importance of these two factors, the designer of any such model bears the largest burden in assuring the value of the model. He or she can choose to implement agency by humans or by technology depending on the number of actors and trust among them. Also, model designer determines the margins of error from each scenario while modelling (Gershman, Markman & Otto, 2014). Since in conventional decision-making processes different actors have different roles, the model designer may decide to accord different levels of authority to different actors. Nevertheless, they must ensure that such a decision does not affect the trust of the system. Overall, what values are sought from a computational model in a public decision-making context?

Reply  to two classmates’ posting in a paragraph of at least five sentences by  asking questions, reflecting on your own experience, challenging  assumptions, pointing out something new you learned, offering  suggestions. These peer responses are not ‘attaboys’.   You should  make your initial post by Thursday evening so your classmates have an  opportunity to respond before Sunday.at midnight when all three posts  are due. 

It is important that you use your own words, that you cite your sources, that you comply  with the instructions regarding length of your post and that you reply  to two classmates in a substantive way (not ‘nice post’ or the like).  Your  goal is to help your colleagues write better. Do not use spinbot or  other word replacement software. It usually results in nonsense and is  not a good way to learn anything. . I will not spend a lot of my time  trying to decipher nonsense.
