In this project, you will explore network security by simulating the vulnerability of the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) to cyberattacks. In a Mininet emulation, real-world events are reproduced in code, where a victim Internet provider is induced to route traffic bound for a specified network destination to a malicious entity instead. Through this project, you will also gain experience with router configuration and network configuration.

Software Engineering Group Project: “EcoCharge Fleet Dashboard

Course: ICS 432 – Software Engineering Context: Electric Vehicle (EV) Technology & Industry Team Size: 3-4 students

1. Project Vision & Context

Your team are software engineers at “EcoCharge Innovations.” Your task is to build a prototype for a web-based dashboard that allows managers to monitor a small fleet of electric vehicles.

The goal is to demonstrate core functionality and prove the concept, focusing on clean code, collaboration, and ethical foresight, rather than building a fully-featured product.

1. Simplified Project Scope & Core Features

Develop a simple web application with the following two core features:

• Feature A: Static Fleet Overview
  • A single web page that displays a list of 5-10 pre-defined electric vehicles.
  • For each vehicle, display: Vehicle ID, Model, Current Battery Percentage (a static value between 0-100%), and Status (e.g., “Available”, “Charging”, “On Trip).

• Feature B: Basic Charging Cost Calculator
  • A simple form where a user can select a vehicle and input a “charging duration” in hours.
  • The application calculates and displays the estimated cost using a fixed formula: Cost = (Charging Duration * 7.5 kW * $0.15 per kWh). (Use these fixed values for simplicity).

1. Learning Objectives & Deliverables

Deliverable 1: Project Setup & Collaboration

• Task: Set up a GitLab repository and demonstrate a collaborative workflow.

• Artifacts to Submit:

1. URL to your GitLab repository.2. Evidence of Collaboration: Create at least two feature branches (e.g., feature/fleet-overview, feature/cost-calculator) and merge them via Merge Requests.3. Meaningful Commits: Use clear commit messages (e.g., feat: add basic HTML structure for dashboard, fix: correct calculation formula in calculator).

Deliverable 2: Agile Sprint Execution

Task: Use a simplified Scrum process to manage your 2-week sprint.”

Artifacts to Submit:

1.** A Product Backlog:** A simple list of user stories in a text file or spreadsheet. – Example: “As a manager, I want to see a list of all EVs and their battery levels so I can know which ones are ready to use.”

1. A Sprint Plan: A list of tasks for the two features, assigned to team members.
2. **A Sprint Retrospective: **A short document (150 words) submitted at the end. What went well? What would you do differently next time?

Deliverable 3: Testing & Code Quality

Task: Write tests for the most critical logic in your application.

Artifacts to Submit:

1. Unit Tests: Write tests only for the cost calculation function.
   • Test with positive hours.
   • Test that it fails gracefully with negative hours or non-numeric input.
2. Code Review: Include a comment in your code (e.g., in ) where you describe one potential bug you identified and prevented through code or testing.

Deliverable 4: Security Risk Assessment

Task: Conduct a basic security analysis of your web application.

Artifacts to Submit:

1. A Security Memo (200 words): Identify two potential security vulnerabilities relevant to your application. For each, provide:
   • The Vulnerability: Name and briefly describe it (e.g., “Cross-Site Scripting (XSS)” or “Insecure Data Handling”).
   • Potential Impact: What could an attacker do? (e.g., “Steal user session data,” “Deface the website”).
   • Mitigation Strategy: One practical step you would take to fix it (e.g., “Sanitize all user inputs before displaying them,” “Use HTTPS to serve the application).

• Example Vulnerability: “If we connected a real database, storing passwords in plaintext would be a vulnerability. An attacker could steal them. We would mitigate this by always hashing passwords using a strong algorithm like bcrypt.

Deliverable 5: Ethical Considerations

Task: Think proactively about the ethical implications of this technology.

Artifacts to Submit:

1. A Short Memo (200 words): Using the ACM Code of Ethics, answer one of the following:
   • Privacy: The final product would use real vehicle location data. What is one key privacy concern, and what is one mitigation you would propose?
   • Bias: If the “Status” of a vehicle was used to determine driver performance bonuses, how could this simple system be unfair?

**Deliverable 6: **Final Submission & Demo

Artifacts to Submit:

1. Source Code in your GitLab main branch.
2. A file with instructions on how to run your application.
3. A 5-minute screen recording demonstrating the two working features and a brief walkthrough of your GitLab repository showing your merge requests.

Technical Stack Suggestions

-** Frontend** (Recommended): Use simple HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. No complex frameworks are required. This keeps the focus on logic and collaboration, not on learning a new framework.

• Alternative (If confident): A very basic Python Flask or Node.js/Express app to serve the HTML and handle the calculation logic.
• Data: Use a hardcoded JavaScript array or a simple JSON file to store the static fleet data.

As the field of computing has evolved, various types of computing solutions have emerged. Each computing environment is defined by the way its computer systems interface with other systems and the services that its operating systems provide to its users and programs.

To complete this assignment, compare the operating system requirements for different computing environments. Choose three of the following computing environments to describe:

• Traditional computing
• Mobile computing
• Distributed systems
• Client-server computing
• Peer-to-peer computing
• Virtualization

In a written paper, address the following operating system requirements for each chosen computing environment:

• Describe the unique resource allocation needs of each environment.
• Describe the challenges of designing for each environment.
• Give examples of usage scenarios where each environment would be most advantageous.

You will need to reference your textbook and research a minimum of three additional credible resources to support your statements.

Hello, This research paper is on cloud gaming. I have attached a brief intro as well as an outline for the research paper. My specific topic within this cloud gaming topic is how the major three gaming cloud systems (Xbox Cloud, PlayStation Plus, and NVIDIA GeForce Now) protect their data. This research will compare the security protections used by the three major cloud gaming platforms: NVIDIA GeForce Now, Xbox Cloud Gaming, and PlayStation Plus. The study will analyze how each service secures user authentication, encrypts data, protects servers, and prevents unauthorized access.

Research Paper: Cloud Gaming -> Accepted Topic.

Paper Requirements: APA format, 5-7 pages, Min: 5 peer -reviewed sources within the past 3 years (this is a Cloud based subject, time is critical)

There may be more sources utilized that may be older (e.g. definitions, background, etc); however, at least 5 of the sources for the discussion (body) of the research paper must be no older than 2021.

For this assignment you will write an R program to complete the tasks given below. You will hand in two files for this assignment.

• A File with your R program. This file should contain only the code (no output) and must have the typical r extension. No other file extensions will be accepted. The reason is that the assignment be graded based on your R code and not the output file. The output file will be used to verify the code commands. Also, please make sure that all comments, discussion, and conclusions regarding results are also annotated as part of your code.
• A PDF/DOC file with your output code. We are giving you more flexibility regarding how you want to present your output (tables, plots, etc.). You can either use RMD files that combine code, narrative txt, and plots or you can use word document with copy and paste from the R platform you are using. However, please remember that all output (tables, plots, comments, conclusions, etc.) shown in this file has to be generated by the same R code that you submit. This is important! Output shown that is generated using a separate code or output shown that is not supported by the submitted code will not be graded. Screenshots will not be accepted.

Use the following file
