The user interacts with applications installed on their device and utilizes services provided by the operating system. The kernel applications are core parts of the OS that manage hardware resources and low-level functions, while other applications are installed by the user or organization for specific tasks. An embedded OS operates devices like routers or appliances and fits within the broader information system architecture along with cloud computing networks.

1. Explain the user's role in an OS.
Explain the differences between kernel applications of the OS
and the applications installed by an organization or user.
Describe the embedded OS.
Describe how the systems fit in the overall information system
architecture, of which cloud computing is an emerging,
distributed computing network architecture.
