Hello,
The process behind selecting the article that I choose was to find something related to my major and my interest. Artificial Intelligence is a concept that everyone is interested nowadays and want to learn more about it since it can make people’s life much effortless and ruin it at the same time.
Similarly, I want to learn more about AI as well, & because of that, I used the city tech library’s database to access the IEEE website where I searched “Artificial Intelligence.” It is no coincidence that a bunch of informative articles popped up. My goal was to find something interesting such as what makes AI so valuable and what are the process behind it. I was looking at many different articles and finally found an article named “AIR5: Five Pillars of Artificial Intelligence Research”. One of the key components of human life is AIR; similarly, AIR5, (Rationalizability, Resilience, Reproducibility, Realism, and Responsibility) is the key component of the AI system. That’s why I decided to write my 500-word summary of this article.
Below are the steps on how you can find it:
– Open a browser and go to https://library.citytech.cuny.edu/
– Click on Find Article
– You can browse by name A-Z, I used IEE Xplore, so click on I
– Click on IEE Xplore
– If you are out of campus, it will redirect you, so be patient, and once it’s redirected, log in with your cuny first credentials.
– Now, Type “Artificial Intelligence” on the search box and hit enter
– We should get about 249,063 results. We have to narrow it down; we are looking for peers reviewed journals.
– Click on journals and click apply.
– Now, you should get about 45,154 results; you can narrow it down further by choosing different filters.
– For me, I got my desired article on the 1st page.
– It’s the 2nd article that I was looking for. Click on it and start reading.
Hello,
I selected to choose the topic about Apple about their future inventions. I’ve always had a deep correlation when it comes to the advancement of technology. Since birth I could say, technology has always been something that I’ve always wanted to pursue. I always get amazed how things step up day by day and I somehow wanted to be part and parcel of that change. I believe that it’s going to be the pinnacle of world changing when we look towards the outcome of what it’s done thus far. As me being an IT major, I thought it’ll be cool to write about Apple’s infrastructure, since that’s what’s dominating the world right now in the innovation movement so I proceeded to find a good article about it. As I’m researching, I dive into many different articles concerning new advanced machine learning hybrid cars, WiFi 6E, and other surprise cool features. I chose https://www.tomsguide.com/ since it had a lot of retentive information about Apple’s next upcoming technology for the world. Below are the steps of how I came across this website.
– Open your Google window or any internet explorer tab
– Type in “Apple new advancement technology”
– You’re going to be brought into many different articles based on what you searched
– I picked https://www.tomsguide.com/ all because it had more information than the rest
– Then you’re going to read the whole thing
– You can also learn a thing or two in there all because of the mere fact he touched on the old Apple’s technology

Since I was also writing about technology I was better finding article in the IEEE database as that was ideal for published papers on up to date technology and studies that I can find. These are the steps I took to find my article.
1. Signed in City Tech Library and entered my credentials as needed to fully access databases
2. From this section input “Ryzen” as a keyword and searched (since the library didn’t offer much articles on technology or the topic I was looking for I decided to find IEEE)
3. A Few articles down I found my article and it was located in the IEEE explorer database (to view the complete article you’ll need to sign into your city tech library account otherwise you cannot access the article on the excerpt”
4. The article was titled as “Evaluation of Ryzen 5 and Core i7 Processors with SPEC CPU 2017”

For my 500-word summery article I chose “Cloud Storage Security Assessment Through Equilibrium Analysis” from the IEEE Explore database. The process was kind of challenging but at the end it was worth it. I was looking for an article which covers the overall security of the cloud environment. I looked up some keywords such as Cloud security, Security assessment of cloud infrastructure etc. After some research I found the article exactly what I was looking for. Security assessment of cloud storage caught my attention, and I thought this article would be best fit for me. These are the steps I took specifically to find this article are as follows:
1. I open google browser and went to the City Tech Library’s website: https://library.citytech.cuny.edu

For this assignment, I chose an article about Desktop Virtualization for smartphones. I came about this article by using key terms like Desktop and Support in the IEEE database. Although my track is database administration for CST, I am more interested and focused on increasing my knowledge about desktop support and troubleshoot technical issues. I searched articles based on my major, but there was only one result, which the journal wasn’t exciting to me. I am also fascinated by smartphones as I watch and learn more about new smartphones and innovative technology. As smartphones are becoming more critical in our daily lives, we have to understand these mobile devices’ pros and cons. Like any other computer, smartphones are vulnerable to viruses and identity theft. If you’re working for a company, they will provide an employee with a business smartphone that manages company data. The solution for this problem is using a virtual machine, just like a computer, to prevent harm on the device that could lead to data loss. The article depicts the architecture of a mobile virtual machine and provides in-depth details of how it works. People should use key terms to look up articles of their interest, making it so much easier. Here are the steps:
Step 1 – Go to the city tech library website “library.citytech.cuny.edu”
Step 2 – Click on “Article” on the left-hand side
Step 3 – Click on the alphabet “i” to look up IEEE explorer.
Step 4 – Use key words to find articles based on yourself of study
Step 5 – Since we need Journals instead of articles, remember to click Journals to filter out other everything else, but journals.
