Understanding Evolving Technologies

As we all know technology is evolving at a rate that, to some, seems overwhelming. These technologies often evolve to offer higher quality products and services at lower prices causing a disruption in markets that is sometimes perceived as unwelcome. These disruptive technologies are sometimes the results of innovative business models that are also part of the evolving processes of a competitive marketplace.

This is an individual research paper required from BA643 students.

As a Research Project, select one of the following research areas: Cloud Computing (Intranet, Extranet, and Internet), Machine Learning, Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things (IoT), Robotics, or Medical Technology.

1) The research paper must only include materials from peer reviewed journals and peer reviewed conference proceedings. APA formatted citations are therefore required for the final submission. Newspapers, websites (URLs), magazines, technical journals, hearsay, personal opinions, and white papers are NOT acceptable citations.

2) Each submission will be checked for plagiarism. All plagiarized documents will results in a grade of zero for the exercise.

3) If there is extensive synonym use or not understandable, long sentences, the document will results in a grade of zero for the exercise.

4) The final research paper must include your through analysis and synthesis of the peer reviewed literature used in your research paper.

5) All images, tables, figures are to be included in the appendices and DO NOT count for page limit requirements.

6) Long quotations (i.e. paragraphs) are NOT permitted. Only one quoted sentence is permitted per page.

7) Footnotes are NOT permitted.

Document Details
Chapter 1 Introduction
Background/Introduction
In this section, present enough information about the proposed work such that the reader understands the general context or setting. It is also helpful to include a summary of how the rest of this document is organized.

Problem Statement
In this section, present a concise statement of a research-worthy problem addressed (i.e., why the work should be undertaken – don’t say required for the class). Follow the statement of the problem with a well-supported discussion of its scope and nature. The discussion of the problem should include: what the problem is, why it is a problem, how the problem evolved or developed, and the issues and events leading to the problem.

Goal
Next, include a concise definition of the goal of the work (i.e., what the work will accomplish). Aim to define a goal that is measurable.

Research Questions
Research questions are developed to help guide the authors through the literature for a given problem area. What were the open-ended questions asked and why did you find (or not find) them adequate.

Relevance and Significance
Consider the following questions as you read through the article and state how the author(s) supported, or left unsupported the relevance and significance of their research literature:

· Why is there a problem? What groups or individuals are affected?

· How far-ranging is the problem and how great is its impact? What’s the benefit of solving the problem?
