PE2 (LAB) Week 3 - 4 Knowledge vs. Information

What is the definition of scalability in the context of software applications?

• The measures taken to protect data and information from unauthorized access, use, disclosure, disruption, modification, or destruction

• The ability of a software application to handle increased amounts of data and users without sacrificing performance

• The process of collecting, organizing, storing, and analyzing data in order to derive insights and make informed decisions

• The ease of use and learnability of a software application

What is the expected contribution of a computer science research thesis?

• To show off the author's knowledge and skills in the field

• To provide a comprehensive review of the literature on the topic

• To summarize the methodology used in previous studies

• To identify new insights or approaches to the problem
