1. Back in Lecture 1, we talked about Multiple Perspectives. Last year there was a fight between the FBI and Apple over installing a backdoor in an iPhone associated with a mass shooting. Describe the situation using Linstone's TOP format

2. A system is a hierarchical arrangement of subsystems, with inputs and outputs across a boundary, that exhibits emergent behavior.Tell me what that means

3. You are in a job interview and the recruiter notices that you have taken classes in both database and systems analysis. "So, tell me what you know about DB normalization."

4. You are in a job interview and the recruiter says "So, you have a Bachelor of Business with a major /minor in MIS. What can you do for me that somebody with a Computer Science degree can't"?

5. You are working in a small local hospital, and part of your job is to schedule the nurses shift rotation. Your predecessor had done it by hand, but you think you can do better with a software tool. Here is a blank logical DFD that shows one possible task, generating the nurse schedule report.

In the space provided, type the label you would put in place of each letter. A simple A: xxxx will do.

6. You are working in a small local hospital, and the guy who does software support says he can build the nurse scheduling application you sketched the in the previous question, but he needs a physical design to start from. Convert your logical DFD to a physical DFD, assuming that the system will use technology that might be available in a small hospital.

In the space provided, write the additional information you might need to add to the label next to each letter in order to turn the LDFD into a PDFD. A simple A. xxx will do.

7. One of the readings says that management needs to be saved from itself. Pick one of Linstone's three perspectives and explain why, using that perspective, and the information in the article:
