Explanation of Solution

Systems Development Life Cycle (SDLC):

  • SDLC is also referred to as application development life cycle that is used in systems engineering, information systems and software engineering.
  • It is used to describe a process for planning, creating, testing, and deploying an information system.
  • It generally applies to a range of hardware and software configurations, as a system can be composed of either hardware or software or a combination of both.
  • There are mainly four phases in the SDLC cycle as follows:
    • System planning and selection
    • System analysis
    • System design
    • System implementation and operation

Systems planning and selection:

  • Systems planning and selection is the first phase in the SDLC, where a detailed study is performed to identify why the new system is required and how the project team will work in order to develop a new system.
  • This phase performs two activities as follows:
    • Project initiation
      • During this step, the project team describes the business values that the system will add to the organization in terms of revenue or cost reduction.
      • This involves in generating a system request which will advise how the system should be built in order to add values to the organization.
      • In order to find out the economic and organizational impact of the system, a feasibility study is conducted before the second phase of SDLC.
      • During feasibility analysis, feasibility of the system is checked in terms of technical feasibility, economic feasibility and organizational feasibility. Then, these reports are presented to the approval committee.
    • Project management
      • In this step, the project manager develops a project plan which is a detailed description of how the project team will complete the project on time and will deliver a system that meets the requirement of the organization.

This is for my Computer Organization & Assembly Language Class
Please answer the homework scenario below and make a JAVA OOP code. You have been hired by GMU to create and manage their course registration portal. Your first task is to develop a program that will create and track different courses in the portal.  Each course has the following properties:  • a course number ex. IT 106, IT 206,  • A course description, ex. Intro to Programming • Total credit hour ex. 3.0, and  • current enrollment ex. 30 Each course must have at least a course number and credit hours. The maximum enrollment for each course is 40 students. The current enrollment should be no greater than the maximum enrollment. A course can have a maximum of 4 credit hour. The DDC should calculate the number of seats remaining for the course. Design an object-oriented solution to create a data definition class for the course object. The course class must define all the constructors, mutators with proper validation, accessors, and special purpose methods. The DDC should calculate the…
For this case study, students will analyze the ethical considerations surrounding artificial intelligence and big data in healthcare, as explored in the case study found in the textbook (pages 34-36) and in the extended version available here  There will also be additional articles in this weeks learning module to show both sides of the coin. https://www.delftdesignforvalues.nl/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/Saving-the-life-of-medical-ethics-in-the-age-of-AI-and-Big-Data.pdf   Students should refer to the syllabus for specific guidelines regarding length, format, and content requirements.   Reflection Questions to Consider: What are the key ethical dilemmas presented in the case? How does AI challenge traditional medical ethics principles such as autonomy, beneficence, and confidentiality? In what ways can responsible innovation help address moral overload in healthcare decision-making? What are the potential risks and benefits of integrating AI-driven decision-making into patient care?…
