a)

Explanation of Solution

Kant’s categorical imperative:

The Kant’s categorical imperative is desired by the philosopher “Immanuel Kant” and he defined as that an “imperative” is a something that a person have to do.

For example, suppose a person wants to stop for being a thirsty then he has to drink, so in that ways we can says it is an “imperative”. And this will also know as the categorical/direct imperative.

  • According to the Kant’s categorical imperative, monitoring the physiology and computer behavior of employees is ethical until the employees are well aware of all the data that is to be collected and about them being monitored.
  • The employer should also take care of the fact that the data collected is only used for the purposes as explained to employees.
  • This act may turn into an unethical act if the employees are unaware of being monitored or for what purpose the collected data will be used.

Example:

If Richie was not of company’s monitoring policies then it will be initially considered as an unethical behavior, but Richie was provided with all the documents where he can read about it when he was hired and even his boss was open to Richie about it. Even the boss is okay with everyone knowing about them getting monitored. All this facts conclude that monitoring was ethical according to categorical imperative.

b)

Utilitarianism:

Explanation of Solution

Utilitarianism is nothing but a moral theory that states that the greatest act is the one that increases utility.

According to utilitarian perspective, the monitoring the employees is ethical as it reducing the insurance costs by improving the health of the employees. This is benefitting both the employer and the employees. In such cases there is a risk of hampering the privacy of the employees but it is considered as ethical as long as it is transparent.

What happens to MAC addresses as frames travel from one node (device) to another? What happens to MAC addresses as frames travel from one network to another?  What happens to IP addresses as packets travel from one node (device) to another? What happens to IP addresses as packets travel from one network to another?
Can you check if my explation is correct: Challenge: Assume that the assigned network addresses are correct. Can you deduce (guess) what the network subnet masks are?  Explain while providing subnet mask bits for each subnet mask.  [Hint:  Look at the addresses in binary and consider the host ids]     To assume that the network addresses are correct, we take a look at the network ID and IP addresses. Take 20.0.0.0/8, we have an /8 prefix which is Class A, that provide us with 255.0.0.0. This means that there are 24 host bits while the network bits are 8. When compared to the IP address 20.255.0.7, we can perform an additional operation with the subnet mask giving us 20.0.0.0. The same happened with 20.0.0.89, which we also got 20.0.0.0. Therefore, these two IP addresses fall within the respective /8 subnet. For 200.100.10.0/30, the /30 is Class C with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.252, meaning 30 network bits and only two host bits. When applying the subnet mask and the IP addresses…
It is possible to sort an array of n values using pipeline of n filter processes.The first process inputs all the values one at a time, keep the minimum, and passes the others on to the next process. Each filter does the same thing; it receives a stream of values from the previous process, keep the smallest, and passes the others to the next process. Assume each process has local storage for only two values--- the next input value and the minimum it has seen so far. (a) Developcode for filter processes. Declare the channels and use asynchronous message passing. Hint:Define an array of channels value[n] (int), and a set of filter processes Filter[i = 0 ton-1]. Each process Filter[i] (where 0 <= i <= n-2) receives a stream of integers through channelvalue[i], keeps the smallest, and sends all other integers to channel value[i+1]. The last processFilter[n-1] receives only one integer through channel value[n-1] and does not need to send anyinteger further.
