1. Exploring the Goals
and Programs of
System Software
Welcome to this presentation on system software, where we will explore its
goals, uses, and types. Let's dive in!

2. Goals of System Software
1 User Convenience
System software should be
easy to use, with friendly
interfaces and intuitive
features.
2 Efficient Use
System software should
minimize resource
consumption and maximize
performance.
3 Non-Interference
System software should not interfere with the user's experience or
other software programs.
3. Types of System Programs
Operating System
The main software that
communicates with hardware,
manages resources, and
provides a user interface.
Compiler
Software that translates high-
level programming languages
into machine code.
Utilities
Programs that perform specific
system-related tasks, such as
backup, disk defragmentation,
or virus scanning.
4. The Anatomy of a Computer System
Hardware
The physical components
of a computer, such as the
CPU, RAM, hard drive, and
motherboard.
System Software
The programs that control,
manage, and optimize the
hardware, such as the
operating system and
drivers.
Application Software
The programs that users
run to perform specific
tasks, such as word
processing, web browsing,
or gaming.
5. The Evolution of Operating Systems
1
1960s-70s
Batch Processing Operating Systems
2
1980s-90s
GUI-Based Operating Systems
3
2000s-2020s
Server-Based Operating Systems
6. The Benefits of Virtualization
Cost Savings
Virtualization reduces
hardware requirements and
enables the reuse of existing
resources.
Flexibility
Virtualization allows for easy
scaling and allocation of
resources, without requiring
physical modifications.
Disaster Recovery
Virtualization minimizes
downtime and data loss in
case of hardware failure or
system crashes.
7. The Challenges of Data Security
Threats Prevention Techniques
Hackers Encryption, Firewalls, Intrusion Detection
Systems
Malware Antivirus, Anti-Spyware, Email Filtering
Phishing Two-Factor Authentication, Spam Filters,
Education
8. The Future of System Software
AI-Driven Software
Systems that use machine
learning and intelligence
algorithms to optimize
performance and user
experience.
Quantum Computing
The next generation of
computing that uses quantum
bits to solve complex
problems.
Cloud-Based Systems
Systems that store and process
data on remote servers,
reducing hardware and
maintenance costs.
