SECTION C

(2 x 5 = 10 MARKS)

Answer any TWO Questions. Each Question carries FIVE Marks.

8. Write down the key intellectual property issues. Explain any 3 of them. (ch6)

KEY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY ISSUES This section discusses several issues that apply to intellectual property and information technology, including plagiarism, reverse engineering, open source code, competitive intelligence, and cyber squatting. Plagiarism Plagiarism is the act of stealing someones ideas or words and passing them off as ones own. The explosion of electronic content and the growth of the Web have made it easy to cut and paste paragraphs into term papers and other documents without proper citation or quotation marks. Reverse Engineering Reverse engineering is the process of taking something apart in order to understand it, build a copy of it, or improve it. Reverse engineering was originally applied to computer hardware but is now commonly applied to software as well. Open Source Code Historically, the makers of proprietary software have not made their source code available, but not all developers share that philosophy. Open source code is any program whose source code is made available for use or modification, as users or other developers see fit. Competitive Intelligence Competitive intelligence is legally obtained information that is gathered to help a company gain an advantage over its rivals. For example, some companies have employees who monitor the public announcements of property transfers to detect any plant or store expansions of competitors. Cyber squatting Cyber-squatters registered domain names for famous trademarks or company names to which they had no connection, with the hope that the trademarks owner would eventually buy the domain name for a large sum of money.

9. List down different points to consider while developing safety critical systems. Write in detail about Rigorous Software Development Process related to safety critical systems. (ch7) Consider the following points while developing safety critical systems: 1. International standards 2. Rigorous Software Development Process 3. Project safety engineer 4. Sufficient testing 5. Formal risk analysis 6. Redundancy 7. Human Interface Rigorous Software Development Process Safety-critical software must go through a much more rigorous and time-consuming development process than other kinds of software. All tasksincluding requirement definition, systems analysis, design, coding, fault analysis, testing, implementation, and change controlrequire additional steps, more thorough documentation, and vigilant checking and rechecking. As a result, safety-critical software takes much longer to complete and is much more expensive to develop. 10. What is Tele-work? Write down the advantages and disadvantages of tele-work for organizations. (ch8) Tele-work (also known as telecommuting) is a work arrangement in which an employee works away from the officeat home, at a clients office, in a hotelliterally, anywhere.
