Description Design document: Follow the instructions in E/DD.08 and record your designs for each of the problems in your Design Document. Make sure to: List each design in a clearly marked section indicates which question the design belongs to. For each design make sure to note any details about the question that are relevant to your design, such as the inputs, outputs, any required displays. Also make sure to detail your tests including all inputs and outputs you'd expect to see. Each problem should have a detailed plan which outlines step-by-step how you get the required outputs from the provided inputs. If you divide any problem into smaller algorithms, make sure to detail all of the information for those designs as well. As a rule of thumb, your designs should include enough detail that anyone else could take your design and implement the same solution without confusion. If you're questioning if a design is clear enough, ask a TA if they understand your work!

One of your friends found out and asked you to help them with a problem they have when playing; namely, there seem to be a couple of cheaters that rig the games so they can always win. You've offered your help by building the algorithm blackjack_checker. Your friend already started working on this problem, so they have their format describing the cards in a deck. They've encoded the cards as two-character strings that describe the suit and face value, respectively. The suit is a single capital letter that is one of the following: C for Clubs, D for Diamonds, H for Hearts, and finally, S for Spades. The face values are similarly encoded: 1 through 9 for all the number cards, T for 10 (so we only use one character), J for Jacks (worth 10 points), Q for Queens (worth 10 points), K for Kings (worth 10 points), and finally, A for Aces (worth 11 points). The blackjack game allows someone to choose if an Ace is worth 1 or 11 points, but your friend splits what the players chose by encoding them separately. Your algorithm should take in a list of strings and first check that all the strings follow the rules above. If the string doesn't follow these rules or there's nothing to process, print a message describing the issue and return an empty list. Next, your algorithm should take this list of strings and create a 2D list of strings, split into chunks of cards that do not exceed 21. For example, if the inputs were a list of H3, DA, and C4, there would only be one hand as 3+11+4 is only 18, but an input of ST, CJ, DA would be two, the first having ST and CJ, and the second having only DA. This will comprise the first row of your output. Next, you should also be able to check that there is only one card for any suit and face. Some players have been sneakily adding their cards into the deck to cheat through the game, so your friend needs to know of any cards that appear more than once. For example, if someone were to pull the classic all-cards-are-the-nine-of-hearts maneuver (this is also called the "whoops, all hearts" play), your friend needs to have a list with H9 in it so they can check, indeed, that card appears more than once. Hey, your friend never said they weren't over-reliant on computers, after all… To help them make sure they don't miss something, all of the entries in this list must be unique. This provides the second row in your output. For now, your friend would be immensely grateful for just these two things, so that's all that is expected to be returned: a multidimensional list where the first row is a list of lists, and the second row is the list of all cards that appear more than once. To help get started, here are two constants that you can use which describe the suit and face values you can expect to see. SUITS = ["C", "D", "H", "S"] CARDS = ["1", "2", "3", "4", "5", "6", "7", "8", "9", "T", "J", "Q", "K", "A"] You can also use the following basic test examples to guide overall development, but remember that you'll need to make your own. Example TestsInputOutput ["D2", "CT", "HK", "D9", "SK"] [  [["D2", "CT"], ["HK", "D9"], ["SK"]],  [] ] ["H9", "H9", "H9", "H9", "H9"] [  [["H9", "H9"], ["H9", "H9"], ["H9"]],  ["H9"] ] [] [] or [[], []] Note: For the empty input case, either solution will be accepted. This problem can be solved in many ways, especially since there's only one function that is required, but don't be overwhelmed. Start by splitting the problem into smaller pieces and try to answer each of these questions in isolation: How can I get the value of a card as an integer? How can I separate a list into arbitrary chunks to get the first row of inputs? How can I track how many times I've seen a card? How can I then use that data to create a list of all unique cards I've seen more than once?

Description DMS Specifications Assignment In your DRM Environment Report, you described the organization/department that is the focus of your project work in EDRMS. In this assignment, you will consider the requirements of a document management system that would support your DRM environment. As before, you may need to do some basic research to adequately describe a DMS for your selected environment. Making reasonable assumptions as to system requirements is perfectly fine - many requirements, such as version control, are standard elements. I am focused on how well you understand the principles and components of document management. Overview You will list 10 system requirements related to document creation, access, management, destruction, etc. that are applicable to your electronic DRM environment. In a real-world situation, you also would need a policy for managing any physical documents and files, as well. Focus This should have been addressed when you created your DRM Environment Report, but be sure the focus of your EDMS design is on document management and that you are using specifications for an electronic system. You are considering the management of documents - not customer service issues, inventory, etc.  Example How-To The focus of system specifications is NOT on a particular document type or task. However, that document or task can be what drives the need for the specification(s). Here's an example: Say in your environment, patient medical forms are filled out by hand. Based on this document and task, you could determine specifications like this: The system needs a way to digitize paper, pictures, etc. It also needs a way for the staff to transfer (type in) that information into the patient's account profile. If the medical office uses a proprietary patient management software, the system would need to interface with that system in order to access and manage those documents. So, specifications might be: Scanner capable of scanning in color at 300 dpi and at 11x17 inches. Interface with both Windows and Mac computers an allow manual input and document creation. The document management system needs to interface with Patient Management Source system/software. Boom. There are 3 specifications from just one task/document. I also would strongly suggest including a specification that covers the types of file formats the system needs to be able to manage/create/view, as well. That makes 4 specifications right there. (See other examples in DMS Functionalities below.) Format & Length Follow the format below for creating your report. Use the headings provided below. Your report should be single-spaced paragraphs with a blank space between each paragraph. This is the standard Word format, so you should have to do anything to change your settings. Your document basically should look a lot like how this page looks. This report should be about 3 - 4 pages long. It may be longer depending upon how you format it (for example, bullets or paragraphs) and any extra detail you decide to include. Submit in Word or PDF format. Put only your name in the header and use only the report title on the first page. Introduction This should be a brief explanation of what this report is, who it is for (the selected environment), and why you created it for your selected EDM environment. Document Management System Functionalities List 10 functions required in your EDMS. You can use bullets or numbers, or you can create each item as its own paragraph/section and leave a blank in between each specification. For our purposes, these can be rather generic though they should be applicable to your particular organization/department. While security always is an important requirement, remember, too, that EDMS are focused more on streamlining workflow, quick access, maintaining consistency, etc. Examples might include: scanner integration, search by key word, search by author, support bar code reading, manual input, versioning, scale to 100 concurrent users, spell check, batch processing, phone system integration, types of file formats supported, integrate with existing systems, remote access, etc. If it involves a document, the item's use, access, storage, or disposal, it has the potential of being a requirement of the system. (Remember that "document" is a catch-all word for any object that is part of the daily functioning of the organization - recorded phone calls, maps, etc. are documents, too.) NOTE: You can use some of these listed above, but you must include some of your own requirements that are relevant to your particular organization/department. NOTE: In all cases, provide additional details to flesh out the functionality requirement (e.g., scanner integration to digitize documents and photos in color at up to 13x19 inches). Conclusion This should be a brief concluding remark or two that summarizes your plan. References Include references as applicable. This reference list is a bit different from an APA list. I want you to include any researched sources you use, but I also want you to include whether you conducted interviews, surveys, etc. I realize most of you will be creating your project based upon researched data as opposed to your own work environment.

Description Instructions: There are 2 responses. Read each response and write a 75 word response for each.  Response 1.) Chris Laping, the CIO of Red Robin developed an IT strategy around his root cause analysis around breaking the silo that IT had created for itself in the organization. The chapter spoke of the need to remove organizational friction. Applying the SWOT analysis methodology is one method of discovering opportunities. Because of the silos, there was poor or nonexistent communication between departments. Laping improved communications between departments by developing a cross-divisional forum where departments regularly discussed what they expected from IT (High, 2014, p. 82). Lamping also developed an IT vision that focused on the paying customer instead of internal customers. He used quest feedback to gain consumer insight into how the company performed against the mission statement of creating a memorable experience with each bite. In the article titled, A Leadership of Value in CIO Digest (Virtualization & Right, 2009), Patrick Spencer examines Red Robin's core values and how that is reflected in the IT strategy. The core values include honor, integrity, continually seeking knowledge, and having fun. Developing an IT strategy that included processes that delivered customer value ultimately lead to the dissolution of operational silos. References High, P. A. (2014). Implementing World Class IT Strategy: How IT Can Drive Organizational Innovation (1st edition). Jossey-Bass. Virtualization, E., & Right, I. D. (2009). CIO. Response 2.) SWOT analysis tends to be generous on strengths and may minimize weaknesses and Threats due to the internal view. TOWS on the other hand forces the participants to take both an Internal Company focus and an External to-market perspective. Matching strategy to opportunities and threats provides the company with a strategy to mitigate risks represented by threats and weaknesses (Ian Johnson, 2012).            The article illustrates how both tools used together create a better strategy. The example of Starbucks provides a hands-on example of how the tool can be applied (TOWS Analysis: A Comprehensive Guide, 2024)
