SYSTEM NEEDED ATTRIBUTE GROUP ASSIGNMENT
There are five group topics: available, reliable, safe, secure, resilient. We will call those the ‘Needed’ or ‘necessary’ attributes, because some applications MUST be TOPIC (available, reliable, safe, secure, OR resilient).
You are assigned to a group. Your group may discuss for 45 minutes.  Your group will present your findings to the class at the end of class today, during the last 30 minutes. (If you do this asynchronously, email a written report to your professor, and either present at the next class meeting, or record a 5 to 10 minute presentation).
Part I:
Identify an application, or needed system, where YOUR TOPIC is more important than the other four group topics, in your opinion.  That is, the system being good for YOUR TOPIC (available, reliable, safe, secure, OR resilient) is more important than any of the other four.
Be prepared to explain why. Be sure all members of your group know the answer(s).
Part II:
Identify at least three approaches you recommend using to make sure your system is as TOPIC (available, reliable, safe, secure, OR resilient) as possible. Be sure all members of your group understand the approaches.
Part III:
What affect do your approaches have on your application with respect to the OTHER FOUR ‘necessity’ attributes?  Is your application better or worse in each of the other areas because of your recommended approaches? Why or why not?
You have 45 minutes to work in your group, and then we will have each group present to the class.
If you are 'off line', you will STILL be assigned one of the five topics. In that case, your report must be written.  Your report will be presented at the next class, or made available some other way.

SYSTEM NEEDED ATTRIBUTE INDIVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT
Explain your thoughts, as an individual, about the interaction between the five topics., after having heard presentations on all five topics.
Which of the approaches discussed should be done for all applications?
Which of the approaches should only be used when there is a critical need?
Send by email your impression of how much work was done by each member of your group. Percentages must add to 100% and names must be included.
Send your individual reflection in by email WITHIN ONE WEEK OF CLASS DISCUSSION.
