For this  project, you will work in a group to submit your project proposal,

and then start your project as outlined below.

Projects could be in one of the following categories:

1. Problem transformation to graph theory. Example: four-cube puzzle is not a graph

problem initially but a creative transformation makes a graph theory problem from 4 cube

stack.

2. Graph Generation: a combination of multiple graphs and creating a new graph. For

example, shortest path routing with multiple weights (distance, crime rate, sight view,

hotel rating, etc…)

3. More efficient graph algorithms. Routing, MSTs, Max flows, Community Detections, etc

4. Graph neural networks, (Sample contents from Stanford, Upenn).

Project Topic

Each group can propose a project topic related to the application of graph theory

in any of the following areas:

• Telecommunication

• Social networks (graphs captured from Twitter, Facebook, etc.)

• Cybersecurity

• Biological networks (biochemical, neural, ecological, etc.).

• Transportation (flights, ground, ships, etc.).

• Trade and commerce

• Education (access, improvement).

• Astronomy and astrophysics

• Networks of information (internet, citation, etc.)

• Epidemics (spread of covid-19 as an example)

• Graph neural networks

• Unmanned Aerial Vehicle delivery network

• Other areas of your choice (with confirmation).

Background: According to Turban (2015), Big data is typically defined by three “V”s: volume, variety, and velocity. In addition to these three, we see some of the leading Big Data solution providers adding other Vs, such as veracity (IBM), variability (SAS), and value proposition.

ISBN-13: 978-0-13-305090-5

Assignment: Go to pages 547 to 549 of your recommended textbook and familiarize yourself with the contents therein. Go ahead and define what a Big Data is and why is it important? What do you think the future of Big Data will be like? Will it in any way leave its popularity to something else? If so, what will it be?

Your research paper should be at least 3 pages (800 words), double-spaced, have at least 4 APA references, and typed in an easy-to-read font in MS Word (other word processors are fine to use but save it in MS Word format). Your cover page should contain the following: Title, Student’s name, University’s name, Course name, Course number, Professor’s name, and Date.

Paper Section 1: Reflection and Literature Review

Using Microsoft Word and Professional APA format, prepare a professional written paper supported with three sources of research that details what you have learned from chapters 12, 13 and 14.  This section of the paper should be a minimum of two pages. 

Paper Section 2:  Exercises and Problems

In this section of the professional paper, apply what you have learned from chapters 12, 13 and 14 to descriptively address and answer the problems below:

Important Note:  There is no specific page requirement for this section of the paper but make sure any content provided fully addresses each problem.  Also note that when picking problems, they could be tied or linked to others.

1. Pick any “one” problem from the “Problems” section of chapter 12. Then answer and address descriptive details.
2. Pick any “one” problem from the “Problems” section of chapter 13. Then answer and address descriptive details.
3. Pick any “one” problem from the “Problems” section of chapter 14. Then answer and address descriptive details.

Paper Section 3:  Conclusions

After addressing the problems, conclude your paper with details on how you will use this knowledge and skills to support your professional and or academic goals. This section of the paper should be around one page.

Read the case study The Bed Cellar and act as a business consultant who advises a client on what hardware and software to choose.

Write recommendations in a proposal format.

Use the Owl at Perdue INDOT Writing Proposal Handout (https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/727/23/ ) for guidance on the formatting and content. You do not have to include all sections in the handout, but include those that are relevant to your proposal.  Be sure to include the cost and benefits in your proposal as well.
