Networked Applications Group Assignment
Assessment Title: Critical Thinking, Reasoning and Problem Solving
Purpose of the assessment (with ULO Mapping):
The purpose of this assignment is to develop skills in critical thinking, reasoning, problem solving in regards to Networked Applications Management (NAM). This assignment will provide scope to explore and learn working mechanisms of cutting-edge tools and technologies with regard to NAM. Student will develop skills of critically understanding problems, conceptualising possible solutions to the problems, and exploring possible NAM related tools to justify the strength of their claimed solutions.
The assignment will also require analysing capability to relate networked application protocols with the underlying networked infrastructure with a view to managing networked applications. This assignment provides students with opportunity to demonstrate problem solving capability in the domain of cutting edge distributed systems.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
You have to do Remote Desktop access. Topic no. 2.
