This assignment is about the ethical issues for the domain of intelligent agents. This will require academic articles as references to identify ethical issues for discussions and explanations, along with my personal opinion and knowledge on the matter if there’s any. There will be a small discussion regarding actors in articles of how they can relate to the ethical issues, there will also be a brief discussion of how the Code of Ethics could affect the decisions, outcome and issues of identified…

and owners determine the tangible and intangible costs of a product or system. Tangible cost includes salaries, hardware, and software purchases all have a direct dollar amount. Intangible cost reduced information availability, low customer satisfaction, and low employee morale dollar value cannot be measured. Direct costs are costs that can be associated with the development of a specific system (Tilley and Rosenblatt 511). Fixed costs are costs that are relatively constant and do not depend on…

will be scanned, coded and formatted for accessibility. Any errors will be identified and re-processed. Process Model A process model is a systematic format for planning, organizing, and running an information technology (IT) development project. It is a description of…

marketplaces daily. Most mobile development agencies apply software development model to their development teams such as Waterfall, Agile and Rapid Application Development model. Many arguments on which software development model is the best are discussed. However, these issues are related with several factors, for instance, size of projects, developer skills, tools, etc. Based on these arguments, it raises me a question on how we can measure and conclude which software development model is the…

fundamentals of Top down Development and provide explanations of the process, applications, and working examples. Keywords - Software Development, Top Down, Class Structure, Inheritance, Abstraction, Programming, Computer Science. I. Introduction In this document, we will investigate the concept of Top Down Development. We will discuss the notion, history, and the ideology to develop software with this method. Top Down Development is a design phase methodology in software engineering. The…

Cook who wished to develop software that managed finances and taxes of individuals and small businesses. In 1984, the first financial program debuted- Quicken. With continuous feedback from customers, QuickBooks was established in 1992 following the releases of other types of software. The 1990s was the beginning of Intuit’s attempt to develop a user contribution system. As the years progressed, Paul Coletta, senior experience manager and Floyd Morgan, principal software engineer, formulated an…

feature of everyday life. It is far from this final starting point, but that is not to say it is not a technology that is being used today. Several simple products are available now that exploit speech recognition software technology. Speech recognition is a ground breaking technology in software expansion that will change the way we work…

becoming a computer software engineer, I would have frowned and said “that’s stupid”. After reaching a higher level of maturity, although only slightly, the prospect of becoming a computer software engineer is much more appealing. Software engineers enjoy high salaries, generally consistent work schedules, and comfortable working environments. Jobs in software engineering can be found all over the country, and there are very high projected employment rates for the next ten years. Software…

The main success metric of a software system is the degree to which it achieves its purpose. Therefore, identifying this purpose must be one of the main activities in the development of software systems. At the same time, wide range of inconsistencies can arise during requirements engineering. Because requirements and goals are elicited from different stakeholders. Resolving such inconsistencies sooner is a necessary condition for successful development of the software. This paper proposes an…

Edward Yourdon, born in 1944, has made extensive contributions to the software engineering industry throughout his lifetime. After attending Massachusetts Institute of Technology and obtaining a bachelor’s degree in applied mathematics in 1965, Yourdon went on to begin his career in computing (O 'Regan). He began work as a programmer for Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC). From the 1960s to 1990s, DEC was a leading vendor of computer systems. Under their direction, Yourdon managed to develop…
