Each task requires you to collect and summarise one (1) publicly available online resource. The resource summary should be around 200-300 words. You should collect interesting and relevant resources that address the task. The resources should be easy to read and describe the topic/technology concisely and simply. The resources must be specific to the topic (i.e. just focus on a single technology or topic and not be about multiple topics). These can include (but are not limited to) online magazine/news articles, technical reports or documentation.
Important - Academic resources such as journals, conference papers or books are unsuitable for this assignment as they are generally not publicly available, are not concise, are not necessarily easy to read and often don't focus specifically on the assignment topic(s). The resources should be substantial (producing a 300 word summary from a 400 - 500 word resource is inappropriate) and only contain information directly pertinent to the task. You cannot use the resource more than once in the assignment. The textbook and "encyclopaedia"-like sites such as, but not limited to, Wikipedia, Techopedia, and HowStuffWorks are not suitable resources.
Source you selected must be between 800-1000 words to produce 200-300 word summary.
Your summary should briefly explain:
• What the resource is about
• Why you selected it
• What are the main points or key information covered in the resource
• Why the resource was useful.
1 The text briefly discusses ‘von Neumann bottleneck', which is an impediment of the central bus of a computer. Find and summarise ONE resource that explains what ‘von Neumann bottleneck' is, how does it occur and how to resolve this issue. The resource, and your summary, must focus on ‘von Neumann bottleneck'.
2 One of the recent advancements of Operating System (OS) is Artificial Intelligence (AI) based Operating Systems. Find and summarise ONE recent resource (Within last three years) that discusses some features of AI based operating system.
3 Internet of things (IoT) is an emerging trend towards smart interconnected embedded technologies that allow us to monitor and control our environment. Find and summarise ONE resource that describes applications of the IoT for Smart Cities. The resource, and your summary, must focus on IoT applications ONLY for Smart Cities.

5 The text discusses a better alternative of stateful packet inspection firewalls- namely ‘Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs)'. Find and summarise ONE resource that presents a comparative analysis of NGFWs with traditional firewalls.
6 OpenFlow is a protocol that enables Software-Defined Networking (SDN). Find and summarise ONE resource that describes how OpenFlow works and/or how it enables SDN.
7 The text discusses few cloud-based file-hosting and collaboration services, such as Google Drive and IBM Notes, which are commonly used tools for collaboration in social businesses. Find and summarise ONE resource that discusses few more examples of such cloud collaboration services.
8 Rapid application development (RAD) is a process of creating a workable system in a very short period of time. There are few recently developed frameworks available in market to undertake RAD. Find and summarise ONE recent (within last two years) resource that describes and recommends about ONE framework for RAD.
9 As the text describes, risk analysis and management are crucial parts of project management.
