I have just completed a full project in access that relates to the storing of articles in a system. Ant the articles can be brought depending upon the title, author or even source. The articles can be crossed refernced against each other. I have to complete a follow up essay on this. I have ataxhed the full project with this. There is only a short period of time (5 days). That means i need it in 5 days time.
The business areas which the project concentrates on, the requirements analysis, systems design, HCI aspects and the actual development of the system with its associated testing etc. For this assignment you will be asked to take a different perspective of the same project. We are now interested in the professional or ethical issues related to the project. You are to assume the role of a real world, professional, systems developer providing an IT based solution to a defined business problem ?€?. In particular you are to focus on the impact your proposed system may have on the organisation and the people within it and any potential implications for people outside the organisation (customers, clients) who may interact with the new system.
## Deliverables
For this assignment you should follow these steps:[login to view URL] a brief description of your project. What does it involve, why did you choose it, what are the main challenges so far?[login to view URL] are the professional / ethical issues that arise in the context of the project? Typically, one can find one or more of the following:a)Privacy / surveillance / data protection b) intellectual property / copyright / patents c)questions of accessibility d)hacking / crime / liability e)data quality / reliability f)social / legal problems g)business implications h)changes in power structures i)?€? any other implications you can think of.
3)As a computing professional how wil l you address the areas you have identified? What advice and recommendations will you be making to the company you are designing the system for? You should assume that the company?€™s management team is unaware of any ethical or legal issues relating to the establishment of an IT system within their business ?€? it?€™s up to you to set them straight, make them aware of potential implications.
[login to view URL] the second half of the module we will have discussed these types of problems and we will have developed our own thinking about an appropriate student code of conduct. Furthermore, we will discuss other codes such as the BCS professional code of conduct. How could these codes be of relevance for the issues you just described? Possible ways of addressing this question are: 1. Choose one of the codes and give a detailed discussion how it could help you as a systems developer with the problems and where the limits of this help might be.
<!-- -->
1. Compare two or more codes and describe where their strengths and weaknesses are with regards the professional issues of your project.
<!-- -->
1. Given the background of the different codes, develop your own code that would be suitable for this problem. Demonstrate why this code would be superior to the others and why you think it would be helpful.
**5.** Write a report which discusses the above points. (Maximum 6-8 sides, approx 3000 - 4000 words for the main body of the report) ?€?. You may be including relevant appendices; they would not be counted in to the main body word count.

Appendices such as:Bibliography, Citation and Referencing, Any other appropriate appendices, A brief diary which logs your activities/research
Other presentational issues such as:Readability, Word Processing technique and helpful diagrams 1) Complete and fully-functional working program(s) in executable form as well as complete source code of all work done.
2) Deliverables must be in ready-to-run condition, as follows (depending on the nature of the deliverables):

Description of your project, the organisation involved your reason for choosing it, an outline of business activity enhanced or changed by your system.
Describe the professional and ethical issues that relate to the system you are designing - Which ethical / professional problems did you find with regard to your project ?€" Why do you think these are ethical / professional issues? What is their relevance to your project?
Describe the current solution, have any of these issues been addressed by the organisation already? Will their business practices need to be changed?
Describe the impact of a code of conduct, choose an approach to this question that is useful and appropriate. (discuss one of the given codes, compare codes, develop a new one, ?€?).
