Software-Defined Security Approach

Please read the following article: Yang, J., Zhou, C., Tian, Y. C., & Yang, S. H. (2019). A software-defined security approach for securing field zones in industrial control systems. IEEE Access, 7, 87002-87016.

The authors discuss security protection for ICS networks, especially for physical devices using software-defined security. This paper offers an SDSec-based approach to provide additional protection based on software-defined zones. Different approaches are also discussed and presented. Understanding the nature of ICS/SCADA networks the authors present an approach to limit attacks and attack propagation on physical devices.
Do you believe that a software-defined approach works for ICS/SCADA systems/networks? In less than three pages, supporting research (an additional minimum of three (3) peer-reviewed journals are required) that either supports an SDSec-based approach or dismisses this ICS/SCADA network.

US (Jordan Peele movie)

Write an analytical and interpretive paper focusing on the themes or characters of one of the first four films we have watched: The Bourne Identity, Cast Away, Get Out, or Us. This is not a summary of the film or a retelling of what happened. The focus is on understanding the film by approaching it through specific themes and characters. You should develop a clear topic that you can state in your introduction. Develop some strong points that you would like to discuss as a way to analyze the film. A good general rule is to have three clear points that are related to your main topic.
While characters and themes will extend all the way through the film, you should also focus on specific scenes or moments in the film as a way to bring details, concrete ideas, and specificity to your writing and analysis. You may use still images from the film. You must use examples of specific scenes or events in the film you choose to work on.
You may choose one of the following topics or create your own. Write on one film. Do not try to combine all the topics. If you are unsure about a topic or feel stuck, you should come by my office or contact me by email. I’ll be happy to help you figure something out.. Do not plagiarize, copy and paste, or use other people’s ideas without proper citation. The papers will be automatically submitted to Turnitin to check for originality. If you have questions about this, please ask me.
US (USE ANY QEUSTION BELOW)
It seems that while Jordan Peele may be trying to say something about society in Us, what exactly he is saying is not clear. Explain the social analysis in the film.
The idea of the double or döppelganger suggests all kinds of ideas about what our doubles are up to and what they represent. Explore the idea of the doppelganger in relation to Us and possible related themes and ideas. This idea can relate to various ways of understanding the film such as: ego and id, privileged class and underclass, haves and have nots, and so on.
Us is a film with many allusions in names and references to other horror films. There also seems to a lot of symbolic or metaphorical material (rabbits, scissors). Explain some of these ideas and what they mean or how they work in the film.

Case Problem: A Bipartisan Agenda for Change

***MUST BE DONE IN EXCEL ONLY**

The purpose of this assignment is to apply test of independence to a case.
Open the dataset of NYREFORM (attached) and read the case entitled “A Bipartisan Agenda for Change” in its entirety at the end of Chapter 12.
Use descriptive statistics to summarize the data and make your preliminary conclusions about the independence of the response and party affiliation for each of the three questions in the survey.
With regard to survey question 1, test for the independence of the response and party affiliation. Use α= .05
With regard to survey question 2, test for the independence of the response and party affiliation. Use α= .05
With regard to survey question 3, test for the independence of the response and party affiliation. Use α= .05
Does it appear that there is broad support for change across all political lines? Explain.

data structure

Perform a literature survey on a problem related to data structures. You may start with a recent paper and fully understand the results and approaches of this paper, and the previous results on which it builds. You can then find a few related papers to see what has been done on this topic. If you need advice on the topic you have found, especially if you are uncertain whether your topic is suitable, consult the instructor during his office hours or by email as early as possible.
Submit a two-page proposal of your project by March 9 via Brightspace. In this proposal, give a description of the problem you have chosen, summarize the results in at least two papers you have read on this problem, give a list of papers that you plan to further read for this problem (this does not have to be a complete list), and what you may possibly include in your survey. Typeset your proposal and submit a PDF file. The report should be 2-page long, single-spaced in 12-point font, with one inch margins all around. Do not exceed this page limit.
Write a final report summarizing the papers read and presenting your findings, and submit it by April 13 via Brightspace. Only submit a single PDF file that is your report. The report should be 5-10 pages, single-spaced in 12-point font, with one inch margins all around. The report should at least contain the following parts:
a. A clear statement of the problem and a short survey of known results.
b. A description, in your own words, of the main results you have found. Research publications do not always give the clearest explanation and proofs, and different papers might not be consistent in notation. You need make the papers easier to understand, for example, by finding a different way to present the theorems and proofs, simplifying notation, adding examples, and summarizing proof ideas.
c. Give your critique of the new ideas and results from the papers you read, e.g., how they compare with each other, which results are most useful, and what applications they have. Also state open problems, including any of your own, for future work in the area.

Make sure that the scope of the topic you choose is reasonable. If you need only read one paper for a problem you choose, then you have not done enough. On the other hand, if you have to read over 10 papers addressing the topic, you will probably need to narrow the field somehow, either by restricting the scope of the topic, or by only surveying the most recent or most relevant papers.
To find a topic on your own, there are some conferences that might provide good starting points. Conferences are typically two or three years ahead of journals in terms of the publication of most recent results, so try the following conferences. Note that only a fraction of the papers in most of the conferences listed below are related to this course. Conferences also vary in average quality; STOC, FOCS, SODA and SoCG are very high in quality. SODA may be the best source as it is not only strong but also focused on algorithms, while STOC and FOCS are very broad. SoCG is very good if you are looking for a topic on data structures in computational geometry. You are expected to be able to download papers in proceedings of these conferences if you connect to Internet from Dal campus.

Some conference papers are more difficult to understand than other conference papers. Sometimes this is because not all details are given in the conference paper due to page limit of conference proceedings. In this case, you can try to locate the full version of the paper. The author’s website is a good place to start, as the author might have put the full version online. You can also check the author’s DBLP entry (Google author’s name and DBLP). Many of these papers have or will eventually have a journal version, perhaps with the same title. If the journal version is already published, try to retrieve it.
Proofread your report thoroughly and use a spell checker. The writing does affect your score.

Letter of recommendation for school

This is a recommandation letter to enter the Savannah College of Arts & Design, and will be written from a casting director’s point of view due to the fact I’ve been taking his classes within the past 2 months. Recommendations should address my level of commitment, as well as attributes such as creativity, initiative, motivation, character and academic achievement, to aid in assessing my
reasonable potential for success as a SCAD student. Once you complete this, please have it submitted so I may have him sign it. Thank you!
