BPMS (BizAgi Xpress) on an AWS Instance!

I'm going to be honest, this process gave me a headache for numerous reasons. After I created my instance on AWS it asked me to input my 2 page long password, for which it was incorrect (though copied and pasted directly). I then terminated my process and attempted the process again. After waiting 30 minutes to retrieve my Windows Password for the second time, my 2 page password was finally accepted. I continued to follow the step-by-step process which was very well documented and easy to understand. The task was nearing an end once I completed my installation of the IIS and BizAgi Express with no problems (suprisingly enough). However, just when I think I am done, I encounter another problem which has yet to be solved. After loading BizAgi Xpress and choosing the option of using a project template, I was asked to type my server name, username and login. With many trail and error combination attempts, no additional information provided, and 5 new grey hairs later, I discovered that other students encountered the same problem as well and couldn't solve it either.

Even though my AWS BizAgi Instance failed me, I still feel that being in the cloud made for a very interesting experience.

Decision Table, Student Registration

2. If this logic were implemented using gateways in BPMN, it would primarily use X-OR gateways and parallel gateways. That is because these activities can be analyzed at the same time (parallel) and only one- decision can be made (X-OR).

Ok, Lets Negotiate!

Over the past week, I have can recall four great instances of when I had negotiate with others. Below is a list of the four instances and a description of whether they were "Distributive" or "Integrative" (Win-Win) negotiations.

• Interview Time: (Integrative)
  Upon receving a call from a potential employer, he informed me that on April 20th his HR group is flying from VA to GA for interviews and that I have to take an exam before being eligible for an interview. I informed him that I was not available that day, to which he stated that was the only day they'll be around. After discusing our options, he is going to arrive early before everyone else so that I can take the exam and still be able to go to class. This approach allowed for a win-win situation because I will be able to take the test and he will have the opportunity to interview me and potentially have a future employee for the company in which he works.
• No Air Conditioning: (Distributive)
  On an unusually hot April day, I came home to my apartment to find it to be blistering hot. Upon calling the matientence office, he informed me that he had too many people to see that day and he would not be able to get to my house until the next (maybe even later). I told him that these living conditions are not acceptable and that it is his responsibility to attend to tasks that are of highest priority (fixing a garbage dispoal is NOT a top priority). He came to fix my AC within the next hour.
• Test Make-Up: (Integrative)
  My teacher had asked me to re-take the test during a time for which I had to take a different test. We discussed other days that we were both available, and they were not in the forseen future since she was taking a trip to New York. However, once she got back, we found a time that complicated both of our schedules.
• Project Topic: (Distributive)
  For one of my classes, my group members and I had numerous ideas about the topic for our project. We each provided our explanations and design ideas for the project, and were able to narrow down our options to 3 different topics. Once we finally decided on one, even though it wasn't (in my opinion), the best topic, we finalized our decision and submitted the proposal to the teacher. In this case, there could only be one topic and I had be on-board with our finalized topic.
