Problem 1: A Simple Integration Problem

First review Chapter1 (Section 1.3) and Chapter2 (Section 2.2) and then consider a small business that sells home appliances to large retailers such as Sears and Walmart. By using the Frank Furniture Store example in chapter 1, develop a sketch of integrated architecture for your company. Specifically, answer the following questions.

· What will be the enterprise architecture of your business. Just show a diagram.

· What will be the integration issues (list 3 to 4) that your company has to deal with

1. Managing diverse user profiles i.e customers, suppliers and employees.

2. Scaling internet connectivity to fit enterprise uses

3. Security issues when integrating secured LAN with the internet

4. Cost issues determining the implementation e.g whether to have inbuilt applications or rely on SaaS.

· What role will the basic web technologies (e.g., web browser, web server, web gateway, HTML, and HTTP) play in this case. Explain through a simple diagram.

· Show a simple example of a purchase order (as an XML document) sent from the buyer to the seller and the shipping statement, also in XML. The XML documents can be very simple (around 5 elements).

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<Items>

<ProductName>Hair Clippers</ProductName>

<Comment>Ship to Adress</Comment>

</Item>

<Name>George Moses</Name>

<Street>123 Gallagher Street</Street>

<City>Long beach</City>

</Address>

· By using the material in Chapter 2, select which enterprise architecture framework will you choose for this company and why (2-3 lines).

Enterprise software supports service-oriented businesses. This is achieved when software performs assembled business components to render services (Umar, 2020; ch2). Thus Service oriented architecture (SOA) would be suitable for this business. The enterprise offers B2B services through its main processes. The components include inventory management, which involves the purchasing and logistics of the electronics. Sales and Marketing find orders from customers (businesses like Walmart who also have their customers), finance and other departments service the business processes.

Why SOA

1. There are established common services that are reusable business components

2. Web Oriented services are possible since there are available interfaces that can be used to access directory

3. Company network platform and server can be used to for an Enterprise Service Bus that will link components for brokerage, sharing and security purposes/

· Briefly discuss, 3-4 lines, how will you make your small business smart.

Incorporating Knowledge capabilities that will enable the enterprise to be more familiar and aware. For instance, knowledge of suppliers, customers and service providers. Using detection capabilities such as sensing, feeling and discovery to gain business advantage. E.g Anticipating orders of particular products due to particular emerging trends. Enabling adjustment and learning capabilities to give more control to intelligent systems

Suggestion: Please review Chapter1 and the Chapter2 slides before attempting this problem.

Problem 2: Web and XML Review

Develop a simple HTML page that shows your picture and a few lines about your academic background. You can use any tool available to build this page.

<HTML>

<Title> Academic BG </title>

<Head> My Picture </head>

<body>

<head> My Academic Background </head>

<p>I completed my master’s in business administration. Currently I’m in the 2nd semester under the ISEM program. I had taken ISEM 500, MGMT 510, ISEM 530 and 540. The five courses which I’m planning to take would be courses at HU would be ISEM 501, ISEM 570 ISEM 547, MGMT 531 and MGMT 512 </p>

</body>

</HTML>

· Develop XML representation of who you are, what is your CPT assignment (one line), your academic background, what courses you have taken at HU so far, what five courses are you planning to take at HU, where are you living right now in USA, and your family (how many brothers, sisters, etc). This document should have about 10 elements and not more than 30 statements.

<?xml version="1.0" standalone=“yes”?>

· Create a DTD for this XML document (define some optional and required features) and validate the XML document through this DTD. Please note that we will validate your XML and DTD files.

Suggestion: This problem requires a basic understanding of Web Technologies and XML (the material commonly covered in ISEM501). To brush-up your knowledge of Web and XML, please do the following:

· Review the voice annotated slides on Web-XML, 1 hour, URL = http://harrisburgu.adobeconnect.com/p4j3w0wgz36

· Visit the www.w3schools.com for short tutorials on web and XML technologies

· Review Chapter 6 of the text on Web Technologies and XML

Problem3: Learning about a Smart Community, SDG Advisor and EPlanner

In this course, each team will develop a Smart Center or a Smart Hub that provides location specific services and work with each other for a broader impact (see Project1 for more details). To develop a better understanding of this topic, please surf the web for smart towns and communities. Also please visit a “Smart Community” prototype at www.ict4sids.com that has some basic elements of such a community. Browse through the site by viewing the “Video Gallery” (Red Button on top bar) to get a quick idea. Then invoke the SDG Advisor and answer the following questions:

· What are SDGs and select an SDG that is of most interest to you.

SDGs are Sustainable development goals championed by the UN countries. These goals are meant to guide developing nations in their growth by the year 2030 (Jatana & Currie, 2020). Achievement of SDGs is enabled through partnership of governments, institutions, media, local NGOs, and people countries’ citizens. SDG 11 is interesting, as it aims at creating sustainable cities and communities.

· Does the UN SDG videoclip cover all SDGs (how many SDGs are discussed?)

There are 17 sustainable development goals. The video only covers three goals. The goals discussed are ‘ending extreme poverty,’ ‘fighting against injustice,’ and ‘tackling climate change.’ These are goals number one, sixteen and thirteen respectively.

· How did you use the SDG Advisor (what SDG and for what country), please specify your login-ID used to invoke this tool.

I launched the SDG advisor on www.space4ict.com . My main focus was analyzing the SDG goals in the case of India. My interest was to analyze SDG 11; Sustainable Cities and Communities. I indicated that the Hub was Virtual, and the setting was in an urban area. I also selected Local (community/city) as the level of operations. The service in question in this case was transactional, and possible funding expected from the Private sector. On clicking Next, I got a report of India’s status in achieving the SDG 11. The report featured indicators, the SDG target, latest data and the status. (Report attached separately to this assignment).
