Your Task

Your task is to create a poster illustrating an example of a system and $/$ or problem that has

been solved using computer science. You should draw on the example that you have been

working on through the activities in weeks $1–5.$ The poster will reflect the discussions,

research and evaluations that you have undertaken into a fundamental computing problem.

The poster will provide background to the problem and demonstrate how the computing

subject in that problem domain has evolved in order for that problem to be solved. You

should illustrate the societal, ethical and legal impacts as a result of the issue $/$ resolution of

the issue.

Student Information

The computing environment is a wide and complex one. For the first assignment you are

required to choose a subject $/$ topic from computing and produce a poster $(1$ page$)$ outlining

the issues and how computer science has been used to resolve the issue. The design of your

poster is left to you to decide but you should consider visual impact, key messages, data to

support, examples and any underpinning research.

Suggested topics to cover in your poster

$•$ Rationale for subject choice $–$ a brief overview of the system and $/$ or problem being

problem, any algorithmic thinking that has been considered, examples of algorithms

$•$ Data or metrics to show success $–$ any measurements of success that are pertinent to the

system being discussed, for example $($you don$’$t need to cover all of these$)$ money saved,

time saved, skills developed, improvement in access to information
