Each of you will analyse a given case study and identify the issues arising from the case study. Based on the issues found in the case study, you will identify three e-business use cases (for example, Predictive Maintenance). You will then choose as many emerging technologies as appropriate to address those use cases. You can choose any emerging technologies that fit the use cases, even the ones not covered in the lectures.
You will write a report illustrating how the chosenemerging technologies would fit into and address the requirements of the identified e-business use cases.
In the main body of the report, you will include the following topics.
1. A background study of the chosen emerging technologies
o You need to describe how the chosen emerging technologies evolved, their underlying designs, working principles, functions, and capabilities.
2. A brief description of the future potentials of the chosen emerging technologies
o You need to discuss the future applications of the chosen emerging technologies in e-business in general.
3. An illustration of how the chosen emerging technologies would fit into the identified e-business use cases
o You need to illustrate what issues of the identified use cases would be resolved by the chosen emerging technologies.
4. Details of how the chosen emerging technologies would address the requirements of the identified use cases
o You need to elaborate how the chosen emerging technologies would interoperate to fulfill the requirements of the identified use cases.
Please note: Discussions for topics 1-2 should be generic, while discussions for topics 3-4 must be in the context of the Assessment 3 Case Study. The Introduction section of the report should clearly state the identified e-business use cases and the emerging technologies chosen to address those use cases.
The length of the report should be 3000 words. Your report must have a Cover Page (Unit Id, Assessment number/name, Student names, Student Ids, Campus, and Tutor name) and a Table of Contents (this should be MS word generated). A standard report structure, including an executive summary, must be adhered to.You are required to review more than 10 articles (including at least 4 academic references) relevant to the chosen use cases and emerging technologies.

Caution: ALL assessment submissions will be checked for similarity by Turnitin. If are found to be involved in plagiarism, contract cheating or any other kind of academic misconduct, you may face penalties from zero marks for the assignment to fail grade in the unit, or even exclusion from the university. Please make yourself familiar with the University’s Student Academic Integrity Policy and Procedure which is available in the policy portal https://www.cqu.edu.au/policy.
Assessment Submission:
Each of you must upload the written report to Moodle as a Microsoft Word file by the above due date. It is the responsibility of the students to submit the correct final versions of their assessment items.
Assessment Criteria:
You will be assessed based on your ability to demonstrate understanding of the emerging digital technologies, critically evaluate their future impacts, and use those technologies to solve current and forthcoming e-business problems.
The marking criteria for this assessment are as follows.
