COIT 20246 ASSIGNMENT SUBMISSIONDue date:Thursday Week 11 (2PM AEST)Part:Written AssessmentWeighting:30% of total assessment. Submission:Electronic (see course website for details)InstructionsIt will be necessary to use literature/online resources to complete this assignment, please ensure you cite and reference any such materials using the Harvard format. DO NOT copy content directly from either the text or Internet resources: this assignment is to be in your own words. You will lose marks if you do not use your own words!Please complete your assignment using this submission template file, inserting your responses where indicated.DO NOT delete the marking criteria page – changes are permitted to the formattingof other pages including the headers and footers.Please fill in the following details:Student NameStudent Number
TasksThere are ten (10) tasks, one for each week: the tasks are detailed below. There is a table to complete for each task. Please fill in the information required. Note: Each resource summary should be around 200-300 words.Week 1The text discusses the elements of modern computing architecture however is largely silent on the individuals who played a role in its development. Find and summarise a resource that describes ONE such individual. The individual should have had a significant influence on the development of computers and/or components of modern computing architecture.Title: Time sharing operating systemsReference: Wheeler, D. 2017. [online] Available at: https://www.dwheeler.com/innovation/innovation.html [Accessed 16 Sep. 2017].Link:https://www.dwheeler.com/innovation/innovation.htmlSummary:John McCarthy (MIT, US) in 1957 started proposing time-sharing operating systems, where morethan one user have the access to share a single computer believing that the control of the entirecomputer is in their hand multiple. John McCarthy wrotea memo to Professor Philip Morse on firstJanuary 19589 in which he proposed that this could be implemented into the future technologies ormachines, which increased the excitement in the computing field and attracted many researcherstowards the same topic. Christopher Strachey of National Research Development Corporation, UK,wrote an article on the same topic, “time-sharing in” in which he proposed that the notion that‘programs share the computer’ and cannot introduced that users can also share the same computer in1959, which made the article worth nothing. At that same time programs were already sharing thecomputers in the SAGE project. Since 1961 Fernando Corbató, who was from same MIT, invented afour-terminal system that was working on the mainframe of IBM 709. After so many researches,experiments and proposed theories, these inventions became challenge for the researchers and the firsteffective running time-sharing system was proposed namely, “Compatible Time Sharing System(CTSS)” which was a completely working system.These mechanisms are still the critical support forthe computer security of some of the computers of this time too, either are able to share the differentusers mechanism or not.Week 2The text discusses the components and activities of operating systems however is largely silent on the individuals who played a role in their development. Find and summarise a resource that describes ONEsuch individual. The individual should have had a significant influence on the writing or development of operating systems.Title: Bill gates influencing windows operating systemReference: Influentialleadership.com. 2017. Bill Gates — Influential Leadership. [online] Available at: http://influentialleadership.com/bill-gates/Link: http://influentialleadership.com/bill-gates/
Summary:Bill GatesBill Gates was appending too much time with computers after when he wasgraduating from the high school and enrolling to the Harvard College in 1973. By1975 he wanted to start his own computer software company and was successful inowning his own software company with his friend Paul Allen after reaching anagreement with MITS (Micro Instrumentation and Telemetry Systems) in manner todevelop a BASIC interpreter for the Altair 8800 computer. After a year they registertheir company under named ‘Micro-Soft’ in 1976 after ending his studies at Harvard. IBM in 1980 offered him if he would write BASIC interpreter for their soon-to-berelease IBM personal Computer, which resulted in breakout for him that took him to agreat success. Same time IBM mentioned that they were also need an operatingsystem for their computers. Few offers had been made by him and for various reasonsthey did not work out this resulted him an offer to produce one for them. After that heproposed Seattle Computer Products with an offer of with exclusive agreement andultimately ownership for the developed computers in exchange of the operatingsystems that they owned already namely ’86-DOS’. The agreement was madesuccessfully and the market was boomed with a new technology with very big profitwith the leading player in the computer industry for Microsoft. After agreeing thecontract with the IBM Microsoft launched Windows in 1985 and asked IBM to supplyoperating system OS/2. And after that everyone is still well introduced with theMicrosoft and using it in their personal computers.
Week 3The Internet didn’t just appear – it was an evolution from earlier networks. Find and summarise a resource that describes ONEof the networks that led to the development of the modern Internet. Title: A Brief History of the Internet & Related NetworksReference: Cerf, V. 2017.A Brief History of the Internet & Related Networks | Internet Society. [online] Internet Society. Available at: https://www.internetsociety.org/internet/history-internet/brief-history-internet-related-networks [Accessed 16 Sep. 2017].Link: https://www.internetsociety.org/internet/history-internet/brief-history-internet-related-networksSummary:A research program initiated by U.S. DARPA (Defense Advanced Research ProjectsAgency) (DARPA), which was started to investigate the technologies and techniquesfor interlinking the different types of packet networks in 1973. The main purposebehind the research was to develop communication protocols that would be able tomake networked computers in order to communicate transparently across the variouslinked packet networks. The project was named ‘Internetting project’. This led to thebirth of the ‘Internet’ and produced an asset for this new age where every individual iswell informed and using in their daily life. Throughout the whole process a system ofprotocol was developed, which became to be known as Transmission ControlProtocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP). Nowadays the major backbone of theinternet communication service has been because of the development of NSFNET bythe NSF (National Science Foundation) in 1986.Between the networks NSFNETlinks per month recorded is to be order of 12 billion packets with its 45 megabit persecond facilities. The U.S. department of Energy and NASA (National Aeronauticsand Space Administration) has been contributing to this technology and providingadditional facilities in the form of ESNET and ESNET respectively. Hundredthousands of the computers are being connected to the networks by the connectivityfacilities provided by the major international backbones like NORDUNET in Europeand helping them to connect with their loved ones and through the whole world. Afterthat evolution or invention only we are able to get the internet and connecting to eachcorner without any obstacles and collection necessary information.Week 4Ethernet is an example of a Layer Two (L2) data link protocol that is discussed in the text. Find and summarise a resource that describes the features and uses of ONEother L2 protocol that is not discussed in the text (i.e. NOT Ethernet).Title: ARCNETReference:Rouse, M. 2017.What is ARCNET? - Definition from WhatIs.com.
