Seasonal affective disorder (SAD) is a type of depression during seasons with less daylight (e.g., winter months). One therapy for SAD is phototherapy, which is increased exposure to light used to improve mood. A researcher tests this therapy by exposing a sample of patients with SAD to different intensities of light (low, medium, high) in a light box, either in the morning or at night (these are the times thought to be most effective for light therapy). All participants rated their mood following this therapy on a scale from 1 (poor mood) to 9 (improved mood). The hypothetical results are given in the following table.

in one page answer questions below
Enterprise architecture (EA) at American Express was the framework the organization used to align IT and the business. EA provided a common language for leaders to use to collaborate and transform the business. At American Express, enterprise architects were the change agents who streamlined processes and designed ways to more effectively do business using IT resources. In 2011, American Express was named an InfoWorld/Forrester Enterprise Architecture Award recipient for its EA practices. As American Express leaders considered new payment methods using mobile devices, the EA guided their progress.
Mobile payments were forcing the payments industry to review their practices and significantly transform the way business was done. The new business environment introduced additional complexity with the addition of new delivery channels and the need for shorter time‐to‐market of payment products and services. American Express’s business strategy for its payments products focused on delivering a “consistent, global, integrated customer experience based on services running on a common application platform.”
To achieve this goal, the EA team created reference architectures and road maps for standardized applications across the firm. This team then worked with multiple business solution delivery teams to create and manage the common application architecture and create strategies that facilitated each business’s objectives. Each strategy included a road map of initiatives that included a set of actions, the metrics to evaluate the success of these actions, and the commitments IT and the businesses made to make it happen. The road map was American Express’s way to standardize language, tools, life cycle management of the applications, and architecture and governance processes. The elements of the road map included technology, reference architecture, and capabilities for the business.
The next steps for American Express were to extend the road maps to cover the maturing of SOA and to develop new reference architectures and a new taxonomy to increasingly align IT with the needs of the business. As new technologies emerged and new ways of doing business over social tools created opportunities for new payment products and services, American Express expected to continually evolve its EA.
Discussion Questions
1. What are the key components of the architecture American Express has created?
2. Why was it important to standardize so much of the architecture? What are the advantages and disadvantages of a standard EA for American Express?

UVA Chatbot
Chatbot is a computer program powered by AI that allows business to interact with the customers via a chat interface. Assume you are working on a project to develop a Chabot that will provide student services for ODU. The Chabot you are working on has the following functions:
Gathering Information
When a student initiates a conversation, there are some formalities to go through before help is provided. Chatbot will be used to gather the preliminary information (e.g., UIN, name) and verify the student.
After that, Chatbot passes the information to a human advisor and connects the student to the advisor who will helps the student.
Providing Help
The Chabot uses natural language processing (NLP) to understand what the student asks for and searches existing knowledge base (system) to answer the questions (e.g. how to schedule exams in the test center? ).
Feedback Collection
The student will be asked to leave feedback of the service, which is comprised of a text message and a rating. The system administrator should be able to view and delete feedbacks.
Develop a use case narrative/specification for one of the use cases "Provide help" of the system in question 6. Attach a word file. Include use case name, actor, pre- and post-conditions, basic flow, and alternative flow. The use case narrative should include your design of the detail interactions between the actor and the system for one process (use case) only, do not put the whole system processes into the narrative.
