A manufacturer has recently installed an enterprise resource…
When first released, operating systems and programs may have bugs. There are literally hundreds of bugs in each application. In many cases, when a software problem is discovered, the manufacturer will provide a fix (also known as patches). Criminals launch zero-day assaults the day after a security hole is disclosed to the public. While no one disputes the immorality of the criminals' actions, one can wonder what responsibility a software developer has when its ineptitude or haste to market results in damage to its clients. It is the responsibility of every computer user to install the latest security updates.
case study:Due to the aftermath of COVID-19, the college must offer its lectures and tutorials using an online platform. However, the college does not have an online platform ready and available to accommodate online teaching and learning. The Information Technology department came up with the idea of introducing a new system called “LearnEaze” that will assist students in booking tutorials with different tutors.

- (Computerization of Health Records) A health care issue that has been in the news lately isthe computerization of health records. This possibility is being approached cautiously because ofsensitive privacy and security concerns, among others. Computerizing health records could make iteasier for patients to share their health profiles and histories among their various health care professionals. This could improve the quality of health care, help avoid drug conflicts and erroneous drugprescriptions, reduce costs and in emergencies, could save lives. In this exercise, you’ll design a“starter” HealthProfile class for a person. The class attributes should include the person’s firstname, last name, gender, date of birth (consisting of separate attributes for the month, day and yearof birth), height (in inches) and weight (in pounds). Your class should have a constructor that receives this data. For each attribute, provide set and get functions. The class also should include functions that…arrow_forwardMany computer hardware manufacturers rely on foreign companies to provide raw materials; build computer parts; and assemble hard drives, monitors, keyboards, and other components. While there are many advantages to dealing with foreign suppliers, hardware manufacturers may find certain aspects of their business (such as quality and cost control, shipping, and communication) more complicated when dealing with a supplier in another country. In addition to these fairly common business problems, hardware manufacturers are sometimes faced with serious ethical issues relating to their foreign suppliers. Two such issues that have recently surfaced involve (1) suppliers who run their factories in a manner that is unsafe or unfair to their workers and (2) raw materials suppliers who funnel money to groups engaged in armed conflict, including some that commit crimes and human rights abuses.
