Policy Drafting Assignment:
In the last two semesters, we have looked at the impact of the
Internet of Things (IoT) and the need for
some type of policy and regulation. First we looked at the home
– the IoT products and their impact on
our daily lives. Last semester, we broadened the possibilities to
include the car – with the same
objective to draft a policy regarding the IoT being incorporated

6. into the automobile. Following is the
core of that assignment:
Policy Drafting Exercise: Internet of Things (IoT)
In 2013, the Federal Trade Commission held a workshop and
issued a report concerning the
Internet of Things (IoT). In 2014, Forbes provided a good
primer on the subject. Technology
and risks have progressed since then. We now benefit from and
are threatened by the growing
number of devices we use that communicate via the internet.
For example, we can manage our
utilities or avoid traffic because of shared data. But, there also
have been several major system
outages that were facilitated by the exploitation of IoT devices.
There are some nascent solutions emerging to improve the
security of the IoT. The federal
government is exploring ways to improve that security. Here is
an article addressing potential
government actions.
http://www.csoonline.com/article/3154852/internet-of-
things/can-
government-really-fix-the-iot-mess.html
This assignment provides you the opportunity to think about the
future. You need to consider
where technology is leading us and devise a policy approach to
better manage that IoT future.

7. Think about who can issue the needed policy and how it can be
enforced.
There are two important environments that are already
absorbing IoT devices. These are the
home and the automobile. Choose one for your paper. Develop
a paper that describes the
future of your chosen environment. How are IoT devices
involved? What benefits do they
provide? But, the IoT devices also present some problems.
Other Options
If there is another emerging technology or if you wish to focus
on IoT in another environment, feel free
to contact me at [email protected] no later than October 8, 2017
with your proposal.
Paper Content
You may choose the structure of your paper. I would appreciate
a high-level outline that could serve as
a Table of Contents. It would be useful if you provided Section
Headings at least to the level of your
Table of Contents.
I will provide the Rubric I use for this assignment by October 1,
2017. Until then, here are the general
components (or content) expect to see:

– purpose/description of the paper
– where we are
and how we got here
– key benefits/promises, potential
problems or drawbacks.
– legal, ethical, moral, technical
– where we seem to be headed (note
generally how far in the future you are
projecting)
Solution
– who could/should issue policy, potential enforcement
approach,

9. principles that should be addressed. For example,
o Information Collection - what limits should apply?
o Information Sharing - with whom should it be shared?
o Information Retention – where should information be stored?
How should it be
protected? How long should it be retained?
– high-level summary including your expectation
of the future course of action.
About half of your paper should be devoted to your discussion
of issues and your proposed solution.
Requirements:
The paper will be 9 - 12 pages in length, double-spaced. The
writing assignment will be graded
on three criteria. The first criterion is substantive merit (the
student’s grasp of the subject

10. matter). The second criterion is writing (grammar, usage,
spelling, and punctuation). Finally,
the third criterion is style (how well the student communicated
his/her ideas in
writing). Students are expected to write at the graduate
(professional) level. Please refer to
UMUC policies on academic dishonesty and plagiarism. If you
are uncomfortable writing,
please consult with the UMUC Writing Center for assistance.
The page limitation does not include the Title Page, Table of
Contents or the Reference List. No
Abstract is needed. In this paper you must demonstrate graduate
level writing and comply with
the format requirements of the Publication Manual of the
American Psychological Association,
6th Edition. Careful attention should be given to spelling,
punctuation, source citations,
references, and the presentation of tables and figures. It is
expected that all course work will be
presented on time and error free. Be sure to include the

11. certification statement:
"This paper or presentation is my own work. Any assistance I
received in its preparation is
acknowledged within the paper or presentation, in accordance
with academic practice. If I used
