Data
Distinct pieces of digital information. Data is usually formatted in a specific way and can exist in a variety of forms, such as numbers, text, etc. When used in the context of transmission media, data refers to information in binary digital format.
Device
A device is a unit of physical hardware or equipment that provides one or more computing functions within a computer system. It can provide input to the computer, accept output or both. A device can be any electronic element with some computing ability that supports the installation of firmware or third-party software.
DSL
Digital Subscriber Line or Digital Subscriber Loop. Refers to the variety of different types of Digital Subscriber Line protocols – high-speed data transmission protocols that are compatible with regular copper telephone wire. DSL is typically used to provide a continuous, high-speed connection directly to an Internet Service Provider
Email
Electronic mail. A service that sends messages on computers via local or global networks.
Home network
A local area network (LAN) that connects the PCs in a home and lets users access the Internet simultaneously, share drives, share files and printers, and play head-to-head multi-player games.
Internet
A network of networks; a group of networks interconnected via routers. The Internet (with a capital I) is the world's largest internet.
Internet Access
Access to the Internet via a dial-up account via telephone circuit or direct connection.
Internet Protocol
(IP). The IP part of TCP/IP; the protocol used to route a data packet from its source to its destination over the Internet.
IP Address
The unique 32 bit number assigned to each computer connected to the Internet and used by the TCP/IP protocol to route packets of data to their destinations. The number is usually written in shorthand "dotted octet" notation in which the 32 bit address is grouped into four sets of 8 bits. Each of those eight-bit sets is converted into a decimal number, and the four resulting decimal numbers are written separated by dots. Most Internet addresses consist of a network portion and a node portion. The address for a host must be unique on the network. When you connect to a web server, for example, you may tell your browser to connect to www.mysite.com, but your computer ultimately has to translate the name to its IP .

Section 1: Infrastructure Document
Computer networks have increasingly become ubiquitous and synonymous especially with the organizations that thrive on excellence, as well as, those who would want to adopt cloud technology and virtualization within their companies. Today, most organizations that set up their businesses ensure that they have incorporated an efficient computer network infrastructure that will connect the business to the outside world through Internets. This is because, research has shown that the present business depend heavily on network infrastructure platforms that make communication easy, efficient, available, as well as, accessible. Consequently, despite the fact that robust computers networks have made it easier by providing a basis of interactivity and bringing a whole lot of people and businesses together, all these at one point have amounted to growing security concerns over the past years across various sectors and industries. This paper will therefore identify some of the possible network infrastructure vulnerabilities, as well as, describing a comprehensive security policy that helps in protecting the company infrastructure and assets by applying the principle of CIA.
A network consists of devices such as routers, firewalls, generic and hosts which include servers and workstations. Equally, there are thousands of network vulnerabilities; therefore, organizations should ensure that they focus on tests that will produce a good overall assessment of the network especially when they store their data in the cloud, however, there may be risk of non-compliance and regulation, due to lack of control over where data is stored. The possible network infrastructure vulnerabilities include; improper system configuration, poor firewall deployment, poor anti-virus implementation, weak password implementation, lack of efficient physical security, lack of appropriate security policies and many others. Vulnerabilities can be successfully contained by putting measure in place, for example, the Network Administrator should be in position to gather information about viruses and worms, as well as, identifying network vulnerabilities by getting information that helps in preventing security problems. Security measures for Network vulnerabilities can be accessed through three main stages which involve planning, conducting and inference (Markluec, 2010). In planning stage, there is an official agreement that is signed between the concerned parties. The document signed is important because it will contain both legal and non-disclosure causes that serve to protect the ethical hacker against possible law suit. Conducting stage involves the evaluation of technical reports prepared based on testing potential vulnerabilities. Lastly, in inference stage, the ...
the world of technology is changing at an unprecedented pace, and th.docxpelise1
the world of technology is changing at an unprecedented pace, and these changes represent business opportunities as well as challenges. Mass connectivity and faster speeds create opportunities for businesses to network more devices, complete more transactions, and enhance transaction quality. Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) and Internet of things (IoT) are two such technologies that represent significant opportunities for strategic cybersecurity technology professionals to create lasting value for their organizations.
IoT is the phenomenon of connecting devices used in everyday life. It provides an interactive environment of human users and a myriad of devices in a global information highway, always on and always able to provide information. IoT connections happen among many types of devices — sensors, embedded technologies, machines, appliances, smart phones — all connected through wired and wireless networks.
Cloud architectures such as software as a service have allowed for big data analytics and improved areas such as automated manufacturing. Data and real-time analytics are now available to workers through wearables and mobile devices.
Such pervasive proliferation of IoT devices gives hackers avenues to gain access to personal data and financial information and increases the complexity of data protection. Given the increased risks of data breaches, newer techniques in data loss prevention should be examined.
Increased bandwidth and increased levels of interconnectivity have allowed data to become dispersed, creating issues for big data integrity. In such a world, even the financial transactions of the future are likely to be different — Bitcoin and digital currency may replace a large portion of future financial transactions.
To survive and thrive, organizational technology strategists must develop appropriate technology road maps. These strategists must consider appropriate function, protection, and tamper-proofing of these new communications and transactions.
It will be impossible to protect data by merely concentrating on protecting repositories such as networks or endpoints. Cybersecurity strategists have to concentrate on protecting the data themselves. They will need to ensure that the data are protected no matter where they reside.:
Step2
Select Devices and Technologies
By now, you have an idea of your team members and your role on the team project. Now, it's time to get the details about the devices and technologies needed to be included in the Strategic Technology Plan for Data Loss Prevention.
You should limit the scope of this project by selecting a set of devices and technologies which are most appropriate for data loss prevention for your business mission and future success. Based on your prior knowledge of your company and based on the project roles you agreed upon in the previous step, perform some independent research on the following topics and identify a set of devices and technologies that you propose for.

Network and Workflow Description
Data mining is a complex process that involves several activities undertaken sequentially for the entire process to be successful. As such, there are specific protocols that must be followed in data mining. The desired goals and objectives are the guiding principles upon which the type of data to be analyzed is identified. The main goal for Health-Cop is to establish links between diet composition and health issues. More specifically, the company will focus on analysis of data from various health facilities, websites, databases and health journals. The analysis is intended to provide new forms of data that can be interpreted to give meaningful patterns. To facilitate the process of data mining, there are several aspects that must be considered such as: statistics, clustering of data, rules of association, data classification, visualization and the decision tree.
Network Description
Health Cop company will set up is network system using both the windows and Linux based operating system. The company will have 10 desktop computers and 5 portable computers. The 10 desktop computers will be connected together via a metered Wi-Fi service. The desktops will be the main engine of the company. All the desktops will be configured with an algorithm that constantly searches for specific keywords from various databases. The portables computers will be connected to the internet via modems. A modem is much safer since it limits the connectivity to only the device being used. Internet connectivity via modem is facilitated through local area networks (LAN), through to the service providers, (Cui, et.al., 2016). Multiple firewalls are set up within the company networks to sort out undesired data traffic from the local network on the computer devices.

Network and Workflow Description
Data mining is a complex process that involves several activities undertaken sequentially for the entire process to be successful. As such, there are specific protocols that must be followed in data mining. The desired goals and objectives are the guiding principles upon which the type of data to be analyzed is identified. The main goal for Health-Cop is to establish links between diet composition and health issues. More specifically, the company will focus on analysis of data from various health facilities, websites, databases and health journals. The analysis is intended to provide new forms of data that can be interpreted to give meaningful patterns. To facilitate the process of data mining, there are several aspects that must be considered such as: statistics, clustering of data, rules of association, data classification, visualization and the decision tree.
Network Description
Health Cop company will set up is network system using both the windows and Linux based operating system. The company will have 10 desktop computers and 5 portable computers. The 10 desktop computers will be connected together via a metered Wi-Fi service. The desktops will be the main engine of the company. All the desktops will be configured with an algorithm that constantly searches for specific keywords from various databases. The portables computers will be connected to the internet via modems. A modem is much safer since it limits the connectivity to only the device being used. Internet connectivity via modem is facilitated through local area networks (LAN), through to the service providers, (Cui, et.al., 2016). Multiple firewalls are set up within the company networks to sort out undesired data traffic from the local network on the computer devices.

Leila is a police officer. She is out of uniform and knocked on Dan's front door of his house and asked if she could enter to enforce a warrant she had. The warrant was a search warrant issued by a magistrate at the Lawrence District Court. His name is Mark McCale, a retired police officer for the state police department in Lawrence. The warrant indicated that "the first floor of Dan's house will be searched for a gun used in connection with a robbery and some jewelry, which was stolen." While looking in Dan's house, Officer Leila smelled what she thought to be gun powder emanating from the second floor. Officer Leila immediately walked upstairs and found a gun at the tops of the stairs. She went to confiscate the gun and while doing so noticed a note attached to the gun with an address on it. Later that afternoon police officers went to the address of the house listed on the note of the gun. Jewelry was found at this address and collected by the police officers. The address was a known address for stolen jewelry to be pawned. While at Dan's house, Dan told Officer Leila that, "I do not know what you are here for, because I did not rob Terri Grubb's jewelry store." Officer Leila asked Dan to go to the police station and Dan agreed. As they walked into the police station, Magistrate McCale yelled, "is that the person who robbed Terri Grubb's jewelry store?!" Dan replied, "I told Officer Leila already, I did not rob Terri Grubb's jewelry store."

This week, I would like you to discuss similarities with past pandemics, and the current COVID-19 pandemic using this link https://www.cdc.gov/flu/pandemic-resources/1968-pandemic.html
What do you see as similar, and what do you see as different?
It is CRITICAL that you document your sources with the week's discussion. If your post has no references or the references are really not reliable nor valid, then you will receive zero points for the post. This includes both your own post, and your comments on other's posts.
The rationale for this involves the amount of commentary that is available about the pandemic from people that are not scientists, nor do they have the knowledge of infectious diseases. What they DO have is a strong desire to sound good and influence people. We HAVE TO know what is good information and hat is not good information.
Several posts due this week... You must write three original posts, and comment on five other posts for a total of eight posts for credit this week.
EXAMPLE:
Post 1: An initial similarity between COVID-19 and the 2009 (H1N1) pdm09 virus was the unknown of the virus’. Both viruses’ have not been seen in human before yet strands of the virus had. COVID-19 is new coronavirus that has not been detected in humans before. There have been many strands of coronavirus that have detected in humans before such as the common cold (CDC, 2020).
Similarly, the 2009 (H1N1) pdm09 virus was very different from H1N1 virus’ that were detected before the pandemic. There were few young people who were found to have the antibodies likely from a previous exposure to H1N1 virus strand (CDC, 2019).
Both the recent pandemics were mutated strands of virus’ that we have seen before.

Write an observation essay that explains the unique significance.docxherbertwilson5999
Write an
observation essay
that explains the unique significance of a particular person or place within a larger community. Describe the person or place through vivid description, narration, dialogue and sensory details. Help others outside of your community understand why the person or place is important to the community.
Assignment
Observation
, as the CEL describes it, requires writers to "study their subjects and learn something by seeing them in a particular way" (93). Observation essays do more than just report facts: they also "find the hidden meaning, the significant issues, and the important aspects of a particular subject" (93).
Your purpose in this Observation Essay is to
convey the significance of a particular person or place in your community through details that show how the subject "fits" within the community's priorities and values
. Your descriptions and details should make it easy for someone unfamiliar with your community to understand why the person or place you chose is relevant and significant to the community.
*Note: although this essay is intended to be based in recent, firsthand observations, you may write from recent memories instead if you are restricted in travel and mobility during the COVID pandemic. If you are writing from memories, try to recreate scenes and descriptions as though you are seeing them again for the first time.
In order to achieve this purpose, you need to:
Observe and Take field notes. Begin with observing the person or place and writing down notes about what you see, hear, and sense. Plan to observe this person or place 2-3 times. In your notes, record specific actions that you notice, dialogue you overhear, interactions you have with other people, and any important details about the scene that might help you SHOW its significance through vivid detail and narration.
Describe the person or place through actions, details, and dialogue that offer
insight
into why this person or place has unique
significance
as an important part of the community.
Explain context and background that shows how the person or place matters within the larger community. Context might include history, factual information, anecdotes, geographical information, or other details that help an audience understand the person or place as part of something bigger than themselves/itself.
Follow a carefully planned organizational structure that gives priority to specific details, themes, and values. Your final draft should be organized to show the significance of the person or place and should not simply list details in the order you observed them.
Offer a strong introduction that hooks readers with vivid details or action and focuses attention on the significance of the subject. Provide a strong conclusion that
As you look back over your observations and notes, remember that your essay should do more than simply relate details without any larger significance. Your observation of the person or place should .

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Requirements
As defined in the scope of this document, the purpose of this
proposal is to provide analysis of the current business
architecture and operations infrastructure in order to provide
recommendations for recognized inefficiencies. The
recommendations will provide insight to streamlining current
processes and bridge the implementation of the new Smart
Thermostat product line. The requirements for the business
architecture, as directed by the Stakeholders, is to analyze
current organization operations and infrastructure and propose a
new business architecture design that will support new Smart
Thermostat hardware and registration system. The final
approved design will ensure the following:
1. System requirements for installation and communication of
12. Smart Thermostat at installation sites to include:
a. Network requirements – DSL, Wireless
b. Mobile device requirements – Software version, Data
requirements
2. User registration – User registration form requirements which
include required fields such as:
a. First and last name
b. Installation address
c. Billing address
d. Email address
e. Phone number
3. Device registration – The Smart Thermostat will register to
the system and provide the following information:
a. Serial number
b. Model number
c. Firmware version
d. Device name (Host name)
4. Data Collection – The Smart Thermostat will record and send
data to the data center for monitoring and billing purposes. The
data will include:
a. Current Environmental status (temperature, humidity)
b. Energy usage
c. Location
d. Current Energy Schedule
e. Filter lifecycle
f. Power status
5. Privacy – The design will include procedures to safeguard
customer, device and system data to ensure confidentiality and
integrity.
Business Architecture Design
The purpose of this proposal will introduce processes that will
streamline operations to efficient support the new Smart
Thermostat system. Monitoring, registration and connectivity
are paramount in allowing customers to setup their new Smart
Thermostat devices. The customer must register the device,
setup account information, setup mobile features and accept the
13. privacy policy.
Registration System
The registration system will establish customer Smart
Thermostat account. The system will allow multiple devices to
be registered to a single customer account. The System
Identification Number and the units MAC address will be used
to associate the device with the customer account. The data
collected for the system will include the following:
· First and last name
· Mailing address
· Email address
· Phone number
· System ID (Device Serial Number is hard coded.)
· Model Number
· MAC address
· IP address
· Firmware version
· Location
As shown in Figure 1, the system allows one user to register
multiple devices with each registered device having exactly one
location.
The registration process (as shown in Figure 2) involves that
transfer of sensitive personal customer information, which is
considered confidential. Customers of Smart Homes Inc., expect
that all personal information be kept private, in accordance with
the organizations privacy policy, and should this information be
compromised could lead to civil litigation. For this reason it is
imperative to maintain a high standard in regards to network
and data security. At minimum these standards should include:
· 128 bit minimum encryption methods to safeguard personal
confidential data.
· Cryptographic protocols such as HTTPS, SSL and IPSec for
secure data transfers over Internet.
· Strict compliance auditing practices.
14. · Comprehensive disclosure agreement in accordance with State
and Federal regulations.
· Proper authentication methods for validating device
information to the system.
Figure 2 - Customer Registration Process 1
Monitored Data System
The Smart Thermostat device will record, store and transmit
recorded information to the Smart Home Inc. data center once
every 30 minutes from the time the initial setup configuration is
saved. User and device registration information will be
uploaded every 12 hours for authentication purposes. The Smart
Thermostat will adhere to the privacy policy when collecting
and uploading data. To ensure product satisfaction and enhance
development all device errors will be recorded and uploaded.
This will provide the necessary information when developing
system and firmware updates. As shown in Figure 4, if a Smart
Thermostat does not register with monitoring system within a
48 period, then service will be immediately suspended. The
customer will be required to contact the Smart Homes. Inc.,
Help Desk to resume service.
Figure 4 - 48 Hour Data Collection Rule 1
Remote Connection System
The Stakeholders have made it a requirement that customers
have the option to remotely manage the Smart Thermostat from
a mobile device. This innovative feature is a top selling point
for the product line and will be highly marketed. In order to
ensure a superior customer experience this process must
undergo a thorough analysis. The system will be outline to
provide a visual depiction of each step in the process for better
15. understanding. Figure 5 shows a conceptual process model from
the initiation of the remote connect process to the subsequent
connection closed point from an internal prospective.
Figure 5 – Process for Remote Connection
The remote connection can be summarized as follows:
· Step 1: Remote device attempts a secure connection. Move to
step 2.
· Step 2: Registration system validates user.
· Step 2a: If user is valid pass to Step 3.
· Step 2b: User not valid pass to registration system. Return to
Step 2.
· Step 3: Registration system validates smart thermostat
· Step 3a: If device is valid pass to Step 4.
· Step 3a1: If device is not valid, is there a device to register?
· Yes. Move to step 3b.
· No. Pass to Step 6.
· Step 3b: Pass to registration system. Return to Step 3
· Step 4: Establish secure session. Move to Step 5.
· Step 5: Check Activity
· Step 5a: Connection Active?
· Yes. Return to Step 5.
· No. Pass to Step 6.
· Step 6: Disconnect secure session.
Strict authentication procedures will be implemented to
guarantee system integrity. The Smart Thermostat will use a
distributed system consisting of computer components,
databases and software. A vital software component will be the
Information Assurance Suite (IA) suite, which is a designated
set of hardware and software designed to protect the internal
systems. Other system components will include Intrusion
detection, hardware firewalls, and authentication severs.
Smart Thermostat System
The Smart Thermostat system is a distributed system composed
16. of hardware and software components that in a whole allow the
system to function. The system components consist of the
following registration system, monitoring system, remote
connectivity system, Information Assurance Suite and other
various elements that will facilitate the required architecture.
Figure 6 shows a high-level architectural design with
recommended internal resources needed to provide support for
the smart thermostat product line.
Figure 6 - Smart Thermostat System
The Marketing, Legal, Operations, and IT Departments play a
critical role in the success of the Smart Thermostat product line.
Each department will focus
· IT Department: Provide 24/7-helpdesk support to product
owners. Monitors smart thermostat events and for determining
firmware and software updates hardware and software
performance, connection circuits, IA suite, and troubleshooting.

Internal View of the Organization
Internal View of the Organization
During the investigative process of the development of the
business architecture inefficiencies were discovered. Part of the
goal of this process is to ensure that the organizations are
utilized in the most effective manner. As part of the approach in
developing this proposal, the organizational structure of the
17. company was obtained (Figure 5) and analyzed.
Figure 6 - Smart Homes Inc., Org Chart 1
As shown, the CEO is atop the organization with all other
business functions displayed at the second layer with the IT
function falling under the COO. To gain further perspective,
survey questions were developed and follow-on survey was
conducted across the organization. A Likert scale was used to
ask the following questions:
Results from a survey conducted by our company regarding
various aspects of the Information Technology Department an
its business practices where analyzed. The questions were based
on a Likert Scale (Likert scale) and consisted of the following
questons:
1. Do Senior management support IT?
2. Are business goals and vision defined and shared?
3. Does good communication exists between IT and all non-IT
departments?
4. Is IT is involved with strategy development?
5. Is IT initiatives tied to business goals?
6. Do you believe that IT understands the business?
7. Are IT projects are driven by business needs?
Survey question were sent out to 200 respondents with a 90%
response rate with over 52% of the respondents disagreeing or
strongly disagreeing with the questions.
The survey reveals inefficiencies with the current business
practices, which directly affect the success of Smart Homes,
Inc. and the smart thermostat product line. The current
organization promotes these issues and allows for IT needs in
non-IT departments to circumvent the CIO effectively missing
the opportunity to align the business. In order to build a solid
foundation for establishing solid communications within IT and
non-IT departments significant restructuring is needed.
In an effort to align IT with the business, improve
communication, and provide adequate resources to meet the
smart thermostat proposed architecture (Figure 4), Smart
18. Homes, Inc. will benefit from the organizational structure
proposed in Figure 6.
Figure 6 - Proposed Org Chart 1
The organization structure elevates the CFO, CIO and Legal
functions under the CEO and places the remaining functions in a
third and fourth tier. This change will allow for legal oversight
of various functions of Human Resources and allow all IT
communications and needs to filter through the CIO. A newly
formed Operation Department will house the IT and operations
divisions all of which play critical roles in the new thermostat
product line.Smart Thermostat Business Rules
