Assignment: Individual Research Paper Topics:
Research the speculations on where the state-of-the-art will be in the near future for one of the following technologies. Your paper should include a description of the state-of-the-art in your technology, a discussion of where the sources that you read believe the technology is heading in the near future, and a discussion of how this technology will affect the choices you would make if you were making purchase recommendations for a client. Although there is room for personal opinion in your paper, you must justify your conclusions.
Artificial Intelligence in Cybersecurity
Network Administration Best Practices
Networking Certifications and Careers
Server Technologies
IP Networking
Network Hardware
Network Management Software and Tools
Network Performance Management
Network Security Monitoring
Mobile network technologies
Firewall policies and methodologies
Intrusion Detection and Prevention
Routing protocols
Wireless network quality of services
Compare layer 2 wireless network with layer 2 wired-line network
Comparing transport layer protocols - more than TCP and UDP
Network virtualization
Video and Voice over Internet (VVoIP) or Voice over Internet (VoIP)
Cellular network infrastructure
Cloud Networking
The Internet of Everything (IoE)
IPv6
Network management
Disaster Recovery
Quality of Services (QoS) at different layers
Note: Most of the listed topics are very broad, so you should narrow your research to some specific technical aspects related to the subject.
Details on the Individual Research Paper:
1. Length and Style: The body of an analytic research paper should be 10 pages in length and typed using the APA Guide. Student projects distill fundamental issues, discuss the various available solutions, discuss the benefits and limitations of the available solutions, and provide a new solution and justification. Student papers must state a thesis, and based on the research, attempt to prove or disprove that thesis.
An adequate literature search will include a few books and journal articles (or other relevant documents). A search of Internet documentation is required. Students should develop a conclusion which synthesizes the literature in such a way as to demonstrate new knowledge.
Guidelines for the format of the paper are as follows:
• The paper should be 10-12 pages of text in length. (This minimum and maximum length should not include the title page, separate figures and tables, or the list of references);
• The paper should include a one paragraph abstract, an introduction, and a conclusion - think as if you were writing for a professional journal;
• The paper should use APA format (double-spaced, 12-point Times New Roman font, one inch margins, page numbers with running head in upper right corner, section titles, citations, and references in accordance with the APA standard).
2. Due Date: The finalized Research Paper is due for submission at the end of Week 8.
3. Evaluation Criteria and Feedback: The litmus test of a good research project is: "Does my research project provide the professor with new insight on my topic?" An e-mail evaluation of the paper will be provided along with the final grade.
The grade for your paper will be determined using the Individual Research Paper rubric. (See Content > Rubrics)
4. Standards for Papers: (Repeated from the UMUC Policies Entry.) Effective managers and leaders are also effective communicators. Written communication is an important element of the total communication process. The Graduate School recognizes and expects exemplary writing to be the norm for course work. All individual and group papers must demonstrate graduate level writing ability and comply with the format requirements of the Publications Manual of the American Psychological Association (6th edition). Careful attention should be given to source citations, proper listing of references, and the presentation of tables and graphs. Format and graphics, however, are not always transmitted well over the Internet: there are dozens of ways in which hardware, software and networks may be incompatible. A student may mail an additional copy of his/ her research paper to the professor by Postal Service when graphics present a problem.
5. Policy and Academic Integrity (Plagiarism): (Repeated from the UMUC Policies Entry.)
