The document outlines a multi-part assignment that includes creating an annotated bibliography focused on cultural standards in software engineering, a comprehensive research report based on that bibliography, and discussions on minimizing complexity in software systems, the pros and cons of using cloud servers for software development, and the need for microservices to maintain their own data while ensuring consistency in data across service replicas.

1. Part A
(1000 words): Annotated Bibliography - Create an annotated
bibliography that focuses on ONE particular aspect of current
Software Engineering that face a world with different cultural
standards. At least seven (7) peer-reviewed articles must be
used for this exercise.
Part B
(3000 words):
Research Report
- Write a report of the analysis and synthesis using the
(Part A
) foundational
Annotated Bibliography
.
Part C (500 words): Why is it important to try to minimize
complexity in a software system.
Part D (500 words): What are the advantages and disadvantages
to companies that are developing software products that use
cloud servers to support their development process?
Part E (500 words): Explain why each microservice should
maintain its own data. Explain how data in service replicas can
be kept consistent?
