The research log project is the culmination of all your work for this course. Part 2 is worth 25% of your final grade. The following is some information you should keep in mind before submitting it.
Reminder: Part 2 of the Research Log is due by 11:59pm (EST) on the date indicated in the course schedule. You must submit it on time or 10 percent will be deducted each day it is late.
Step 1: (A) and (B):
This information comes from Part 1 of the Research Log.  Go back into your log (through Week 1) and record the requested information.
Step 1 will not receive a grade.
Step 2: (A) Database Search (B) Search Results (C) Revised Search Statement
(A): Select one of the two databases listed to search.  You must search in one of the databases listed here.
(B): There are three questions to answer about your search.  In the text box, for maximum points, list four or more additional keywords that you could use to search further on the topic.  These keywords should come from reviewing article titles, article abstracts, subject headings and the full text of the articles that came up in your search results.
(C): To get credit for this answer, you must REVISE the search statement you used in Part 1.  READ the feedback I provided in Part 1 (go back into Week 1 to see my comments); try substituting some different keywords or use some advanced searching techniques.  After you try a few different search statements in your selected database, enter the search statement that was most successful. It must still be a Boolean search statement.
Step 3: (A) Subject Guide (B) Database Name and (C): Search Statement
(A): Think about the research question, and select a subject guide that is appropriate.  The subject guides are listed on the UMUC Library website.
(B): From the subject guide, choose a database that contains articles on your topic.  This database MUST BE DIFFERENT from the database you used to search for articles in Step 2, Part A.  Remember, give the specific name of the database, for example, PsycARTICLES, not the database provider, for example, EBSCO.
(C): Record the search statement you used to successfully search the database.  You can use your revised search statement (Step 2, Part C) or a new, further revised search statement.  It must still be a Boolean search statement.
Step 4: (A) Citation Information (B) Article Type and (C) Database
(A): Choose a full-text, in-depth article that is relevant to your research question.  DO NOT select a newspaper article, encyclopedia entry or very brief journal article!  You should select an article with significant content relating to your research question; at least 1 page long (not 1/2 page or 1/4 page).  Make sure that the title of the article and the journal name are complete and correct with no spelling errors.
(B): You must correctly identify the publication type, and your explanation must show an understanding of why the selected publication is scholarly/professional, popular or trade (refer back to Week 2 for a list of characteristics of publication types).
(C): Give the name of the UMUC library database that had the full-text of the article.  Remember, give the specific name of the database, for example, PsycARTICLES, not the database provider, for example, EBSCO.
Step 5: Evaluate the Article Content
(A): You should clearly explain how the selected article is credible, applying the criteria from Week 3 (authority, reliability, coverage, and currency).  If you don’t think your article is credible (does not meet the criteria from Week 3) then you probably do not want to select it! Go back and select an article that meets the criteria.
(B): Explain why you selected this particular article and how it is relevant to your research question. Write at least two complete sentences.  I am looking for thoughtful and thorough answers (not a yes/no response).  This means you should read the article and include details about the relevancy of the article you selected.

The purpose of the term project is for you to choose an aspect of the course that you want to explore further on your own. You will be asked to identify some type of media (movie, television show, book, magazine article, etc) and analyze it in terms of one of the topics we discuss in class. There are three components to the term paper (each due at different times): a topic proposal submitted for approval (15 points), an update on your progress approximately two-thirds through the semester (10 points), and the final written paper (65 points). This paper should be approximately 5 pages long. You are required to include academic sources in this paper. Part 1: Topic Proposal This document should include the chapter/topic that you are choosing to write about. It should also include the book, movie, television show, or other media that you will be using in your analysis. Finally, it should include some suggestion as to how you will use that media to highlight relevant aspects of the course. Part 2: Update This document should include a progress report. How is your paper going? Do you have any questions at this point? Are you struggling making an argument? Do you need help finding resources or completing citations? Use this assignment to alert me to any issues you come across when working on your paper. If possible, include an outline for your final paper. If you have not done any additional work at this point, say so. If you haven’t made progress please include a plan for moving forward. Part 3: Final Term Paper This is the final polished draft of your term paper. Please see the grading rubric for specifics that I will be looking for. You need to include at least three

Create a chart that compares total product sales for each category in the years 2002 and 2003. Provide an interpretation of the results. The interpretation must be a minimum of one paragraph (three to five well formed sentences) with no spelling or grammatical errors. Is the chart based on adequate data? Is there something lacking? Can you make meaningful deductions? Based on these results, what other data would you recommend that should be considered for further analysis? The report will be graded based on the following:

appropriate fields
report layout
drilldown
interpretation

Upon completing this lab, you will be able to

use parameters in reports;
identify the most appropriate chart format in which to present the data and create the chart; and
modify the chart to change chart colors and add text and arrows.

Drug: Prescription Drugs

The scheduling policy is Round Rock (RR).

2) The state of the system can change at any tick (end of a tick).

3) OS decisions and actions are done only at the end of a slice. A slice is 20 ticks.

4) Tasks are generated (at any tick) with a probability p1.

5) The running task can incur an I/O event (at any tick) with a probability p2

6) The remaining execution time of a task is denoted by R3. If R3=0, the task terminates.

7) The length of an I/O event is denoted by R4. If R4=0, the I/O event is completed

Assignment Instructions:

Write a simulation of the RR scheduling policy.

Your program should use a random number generator that generates random numbers {R1,R2,R3,R4} in the range [0, 1] and augment the number as needed to get the ranges specified below.

P1=1 if R1>0.95; otherwise P1=0

P2=1 if R2>0.95; otherwise P2=0

R3∈[10,50]; R4∈[10,30].

The simulation should run for 1500 ticks and produce a screen-shot of the system throughput (number of completed tasks divided by the simulation length) and the average latency per task (in ticks).
