Assessment Title : Critical Analysis and Problem Solving in Networked Application Management
Purpose of the assessment (with ULO Mapping) : The purpose of this assignment is to develop skills of analysing critically, and problem solving in regard to Networked Application Management (NAM). Students will be able to complete the following ULOs:
c. Compare various technologies and techniques for networked application management, deployment and performance tuning
d. Analyse and justify the use of important networked application architectures and technologies.
f. Analyse performance and deployment issues for networked applications
g. Choose appropriate industry tools and techniques to manage networked applications
Assignment Description
A group (not more than two members) will be given a topic to explore its designated areas as presented in the following table; students are advised to explore the topic area(s) by reviewing the literature; students participating in the PBL are taught how to do the critical thinking for review literature; and literature is available in the internet as papers, book chapters, and independent scholarly reports by experts, and research based videos.
A group of two students will collaborate on the areas of a topic, there must have clear descriptions of individual contribution and collaborative contribution. The topic will be assigned by the tutor.
Topic Area to be explored
1 Elastic Caching over Typical Web Caching And Web Proxy
Caching Explore by reviewing Typical Web Caching Techniques and Technologies and their strength and weakness?
Find a problem case study in the topic, and apply your critical thinking on the Architecture Style, Protocols, and underlying infrastructure and configuration for Networked Application Management (NAM) in regards to Elastic Caching over Typical Web Caching and Web Proxy Caching.
Comparative tabular representation of Elastic Caching over Typical Web Caching and Web Proxy Caching. Identify and suggest Application for the given case study considering the factors mentioned above and user centric design.
2 Remote Desktop
Access Explore by reviewing the underlying mechanism, middleware, protocols, and flow chart based software interaction processes for accessing remote desktop and resources in a networked computer;
Find a problem case study in the topic along the area of trouble shooting a remote computer or remote-tutor-assisted teaching-learning, and apply your critical thinking to solve the problem with your deep learning on the above areas. Identify and suggest Application for the given case study considering the factors mentioned above and user centric design.
3 Streaming Live and interactive Audio and Video
Explore by reviewing the underlying mechanism, middleware, protocols of streaming live Audio and Video in distributed Cloud Environment. One example of such networked application management tool for live audio and video is CloudFront; critically list the others tools, techniques, protocols with comparative discussions for solving diverse requirements.
What are the Metrics that are related to performance of audio and video transfer and sharing?
Find a problem case study in the topic, and apply your critical thinking to solve the problem with your deep learning on the above areas. Identify and suggest Application for the given case study considering the factors mentioned above and user centric design.
4 Virtualization With respect to Citrix
Explore by reviewing Virtualisation, Virtual Machines, and Architecture of Virtual Machines along with protocols, techniques, and frameworks for networked applications management.
Find a problem case study in the topic, and apply your critical thinking to solve the problem with your deep learning on the above areas. Identify and suggest Application for the given case study considering the factors mentioned above and user centric design.
