Running head: CIS 532 Term Paper
Assignment 5: Technical Term PaperStrayer UniversityDATEExecutive summaryThis summary endeavors to present the Network design project needs that are desired for Fiction Corporation. The documentation provided is a structured study of the problem and the actions to be taken in resolving the aforementioned. To begin we will conduct a study of the various parts of the existing network topology and the various types of technologies that are currently in use. After judicious evaluation, we will create a plan to transition the Data-center. Some proposals related to network design changes may also be recommended. The approach our company takes keeps in mind the business needs of Fiction Corporation. This includes noting the required uptime and financial constraints into consideration. Finally, a complete implementation plan has been constructed with the time-line and budget figures. We stand confidently behind our work and can boldly stake claim that our team has the qualifications to complete the project. We have expertise in project management, networking and internetworking. To support this, we have certifications under our belt (CISSP, CCNP, PMP, Network+). A team of 10-12 such subject matter experts will be dedicated to Fiction Corporation’s project.
Project goals
The project takes aim to deal with the major Data-center problem of Fiction Corporation, and will be an aggressive project with several project goals and sub-goals. The following represent the major project goals:
· Migration of Data center: Fiction Corporation needs to shift one of its data centers from its current location to the headquarters, which is located several miles away. The shift needs to be a seamless transition. Measures must be taken not to affect daily operational activities of the company. As a backup measure, there will be a duplication of data storage at the remote location. Once the new site is ready for hosting operations, the old site will be dismantled or made dis-functional.
· Network and infrastructure upgrade: Fiction Corporation’s management looks to seize this as an opportunity to upgrade the infrastructure and network. While making the transition, our team will also work on an analysis of current network designs and its supplementary inventiveness. There is a sub-goal for the optimization and quality control of operations. New network architecture and technologies can be deployed as a part of migration.
· Cost-effective Implementation: Fiction Corporation’s management has set budget on migration costs of $500,000. We consider project costs to be non-elastic and having to be kept under the limits as set by Fiction Corporation’s executive committee. Such major projects can only be accepted if it provides a positive return on a short or long-term basis. While designing the network, Return on Investment (ROI) will be kept in mind for the project duration.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Coordinate and publish two, four-hour downtimes incorporating the published
Saturday
and Sunday windows. Defer any software upgrades until the new network is proven to
be working
correctly with the old software. Use the Sunday window as a fallback scheduling
period if there
are problems necessitating backing out of the Saturday window.
Coordinate and publish an eight-hour downtime incorporating the Saturday window.
This
will allow four hours for installation and logical testing, one hour for troubleshooting
and decision,
and three hours to roll back to the previous configuration if the new switching cannot
pass the
logical testing. Defer any software upgrades until the new network is proven to be
working
correctly with the old software.
