Answer to Question 1

A business information system is a set of interrelated components that collects and processes data and disseminates the output (e.g., include airlines online ticket-reservation system). The decision support system (DSS) is used to improve decision making in a variety of industries (e.g., process-control computers). Control systems are the type of software used to control many industrial processes in an effort to reduce costs, eliminate human error, improve quality, and shorten the time it takes to manufacture products (e.g., spacecraft control system). Students examples will vary.

Answer to Question 2

The main tactic organizations use to circumvent cybersquatting is to protect a trademark by registering numerous domain names and variations as soon as the organization knows it wants to develop a Web presence. Other tactics can also help curb cybersquatting. For example, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is a nonprofit corporation responsible for managing the Internets domain name system. The Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act (ACPA), enacted in 1999, allows trademark owners to challenge foreign cybersquatters who might otherwise be beyond the jurisdiction of U.S. courts.

There can actually be a 25-hour time difference between certain locations in the world. The International Date Line passes between the islands of Samoa and American Samoa. It is not a straight line, but "zig-zags" around various island chains. Therefore, Samoa and nearby islands have one date, while American Samoa and nearby islands are one day behind. Daylight saving time is used in some islands, but not in others—further shifting the hours out of sync with natural time.
