Assessment Guidelines
Marking Criteria: A passing grade will be awarded to assignments adequately addressing all
assessment criteria. Higher grades require better quality and more effort. For example, a minimum is set
on the wider reading required. A student reading vastly more than this minimum will be better prepared
to discuss the issues in depth and consequently their report is likely to be of a higher quality. So before
submitting, please read through the assessment criteria very carefully. Marking guides are provided.
Feedback: Feedback will be provided by the lecturer/tutor via Mahara, and mark via Moodle, no later
than 2 weeks from the submission date.
An ePortfolio is a collection of digital files, images, videos that showcase competencies, skills,
application of knowledge and learning journey. The use of ePortfolios in various industries, disciplines
and processes is increasing world-wide, and is in some case the ‘norm’ for job applications or for
displaying educational learnings.

Assignment Questions
Part A
Q1. In relation to access to wireless network (e.g, WiFi), answer the following questions:
a. What is media access control and why is it important?
b. Give one example each of the controlled access methods and contention based media
access methods?
c. When might one access method be preferred over another in a network, and why?
d. Under what conditions do contention-based media access control techniques
outperform controlled-access techniques (i.e., have lower response time)? Explain.
[3+2+2.5+2.5=10 marks]
Q2. Four users (U1, U2, U3 and U4) are using CDMA access techniques to transmit data to their
respective receivers (U1->R1, U2->R2, U3->R3 and U4->R4). The followings are the
spreading codes and the data that each user wants to send.

StopFire is a campaign started by Monash University to predict and stop the fire in
Victorian cities. They have employed sensors in different cities of Victoria and have
collected a large amount of data. The data is so big that their techniques have failed to
provide the results on time to predict fire. They have hired us as the data analyst to
migrate their data to the NoSQL database (MongoDB). They want us to analyse their data
and provide them with results. In addition, they want us to build an application, a
complete setup from streaming to storing and analyzing the data for them using Apache
Kafka, Apache Spark Streaming and MongoDB.
What you are provided with
? Five datasets:
? hotspot_historic.csv
? climate_historic.csv
? hotspot_AQUA_streaming.csv
? hotspot_TERRA_streaming.csv
? climate_streaming.csv
? These files are available in Moodle in the Assessment section in Assignment Data
folder.
Information on Dataset
Climate data is recorded on a daily basis whereas Fire data is recorded based on the
occurrence of a fire on a particular day. Therefore, for one climate data, there can be zero
or many fire data.
The data is NOT row per weather station basis. You can simply think of it as, Station 1 was
reporting data for X number of days and then Station 2 started reporting data because
Station 1 was shut down for instance.

Your task in this assignment is to write a Python program that generates an informative web site about Australian Road Fatalities over the last 30 years, showing summary statistics about the crash types, speed limits, vehicle types, times of day, and the ages and genders of the people who died. This will allow viewers to get insights into the data, and to identify trends that are changing over time. Your program will read some input data from a text file (e.g., a spreadsheet in comma-separated-values, or CSV, format) and automatically generate several web pages with links going between the pages. The input data is updated each month, so the idea is that your program will be run on the updated input data each week or each month to automatically generate an updated web site that shows the latest trends and statistics. Each web page should show a different aspect of road fatalities, and how that aspect has changed over time. Some of your pages must have photos and graphs. Here are some suggestions for different pages you might generate: • Fatalities per year, and how this rate is changing over time; • Fatalities per Australian state; • Fatalities at different times of the day (each hour); • The impact of different types of crash (single vehicle, multiple vehicle, pedestrian, etc.); • The contribution of crashes involving buses and trucks, compared to other kinds of crashes; • The impact of different speed limit zones on road fatalities; • The impact of different road-user roles (driver; passenger; motor cyclist; cyclist, pedestrian, etc.) on road fatalities; • The impact of gender on road fatalities – note that the data shows the gender of the deceased person, not necessarily of the driver; • The impact of age (of the deceased) on road fatalities.

Case Study: Australian Native Plants Ltd – Online CRM Database
Background
Australian Native Plants Ltd (ANP) is a national plant nursery cooperative specialising in
native Australian plants. From its beginnings four years ago in Greenock South Australia, the
ANP cooperative now includes six independent plant nurseries around Australia, all
specialising in different types of Australian native plants local to their area.
Anna Zikov, the owner of Greenock Australian Native Nursery and founder of ANP, started
the cooperative to provide a common national web platform to promote, provide advice and
sell Australian native plants. A horticulturalist by profession, Anna enjoys using and
experimenting with technology in her nursery and uses sensors and electronic device
controllers to automate some of the environment control in her green houses.
Anna enlisted the services of local web developer Josh to build a platform for ANP. Josh had
done a great job on the Greenock nursery website and Anna is very pleased with the new
ANP website. It is easy to navigate and provides a lot of local information to which other
members of the ANP cooperative contribute. She was very surprised that her ANP
cooperative idea proved popular with other native plant nurseries and clients. However as
more nurseries joined the cooperative, clients and nursery owners started to notice data
anomalies such as wrong or out-of-place information, slow retrieval of information, plant
order information not reaching the ANP coop member, and random difficulties entering new
information.
Anna had a chat with Josh who admitted that, although he is a good web developer, his
database design skills were not quite as good. Anna and Josh called on you as a database
design consultant to make some recommendations. After some consultation and looking at
the database, you realise that Josh had created a flat file database and entity relationships
were not logically defined. Your recommendation is to create a Customer Relationship
Management (CRM) style database to which nursery industry specific adaptations could be
added later. As an experienced database designer, you know that you will not be able to
deliver all the database functionality Anna is hoping for in the first project. You explain the
need to define a core database system which will provide a foundation for added functionality
in the future
