Comprehensive Exam Question 4
Define Global Information Systems (GIS). What are some of the challenges to the success of GIS?
A GIS is an information system that works across national borders, facilitates communication between headquarters and subsidiaries in other countries, and incorporates all the technologies and applications found in a typical information system to store, manipulate, and transmit data across cultural and georaphic locations. Some challenges to the success of GIS is lack of standardization, cultural differences, diverse regulatory practices, poor telecommunication infrastructures, and lack of skilled analysts and programmers. A more subtle obstacle to GIS development is the unwillingness to delegate control of information systems to host countries.

Comprehensive Exam Question 2
Discuss biometric security measures with examples. What are the advantage and disadvantages of these security measures?
The biometric security measures use a physiological element to enhance security measures. These elements are unique to a person and can't be stolen, lost, copied, or passed on to others. For example, we have a biometric hand reader at the company that I work for that recognizes an employees punch in or out by their handprint. An advantage of these biometric security measures is that it's based on an individual's uniqueness like fingerprints which prevents impersonation. The disadvantages are high costs, users' being reluntant to using it, and complex installation.
