The document summarizes different types of software including system software, application software, and specific applications. System software includes the operating system, device drivers, and RAM which allow interaction with hardware. Application software is divided into individual programs, integrated packages, and software suites. Specific applications mentioned include word processors, spreadsheets, databases, desktop publishing, graphics, CAD/CAM, presentations, personal information managers, groupware, project management, multimedia authoring tools, communications, web browsers, and web development software. Programming languages provide underlying instructions to control hardware.

1. Capabilities and characteristic of
hardware and software ---
PROCESSING

2. PROCESSING
• The term software refers to the instruction
that control the operation of the computer
hardware it has three major functions:

3. • 1. it allows the effective application of
hardware to problem solving
• 2.It allows efficient management of computer
resource
• 3. it Is the inheritance between he user or
organization and its stored information

4. Types of software
• System software
• Application software

5. Application software in one of three
ways
• Individual programs: have a single purpose
and a single function
• Integrated packages: combine a range if key
software types. Such as word processing
, spreadsheet….
• Software suites: combine a range of individual
packages into a system that integrates the
features from all packages but sill provide full
functionality in each application

6. System software
• This allows the user to interact with the
computer and the peripherals that plug into it

7. Components of system sofware
• 1. ram: contains a permanent instruction
• 2. device drivers: are programs that allows
communication between the cpu and
peripheral devices such as the mouse and the
printer.
• 3.Operating system: are the collection of
programs that perform and manage the
function of the computer.

8. Application software

9. • Word processors: the most and widely used
software

11. • Spreadsheet: allows you to organized numeric
data on a worksheet or spreadsheet.

13. • Database management software: is a
collection of structured data in which records
related to a certain entity such as
person, book or item of stock.

15. Database management structure
• Relational database: data is viewed as a
collection of linked tables. They are linked
through unique key that is commom to all of
them.

17. Network model: this structure is very similar to
hierarchical model except the possible for
lower level to more than one parent level.

19. • Object oriented: this structure is s multi media
approach in which the user navigates through
the data stored by clicking on objects.

21. Desktop publishing ( DTP)
• Allows the user to produce complete
publication using computer hardware and
software.

23. Graphic software:
painting, drawing, and photo editing
• Painting software: is generally used to create
manually drawn bi mapped graphics which are
formed by series of dots called pixels.
• Drawing programs: allows free hand drawing
and object manipulation
• Photo editing: allows image manipulation at
very sophisticated level

25. CAD/CAM
Computer aided design is now common place in
many architectural, mapping, mechanical, and
engineering organization. It is used in highly
technical graphic drawing

27. Presentation graphic
• Software that has been around for more than
a decade demand from the business
community promoted its development and
use. it helps us efficiently of organized the
information and effectively communicate with
others.

30. Personal information managers PIM
• Is one of the newest and fastest growing
software areas it integrates all the features of
hand written diary or organizer as well as man
automated information management tools
into a system that promises to organize every
part of your life.

32. Groupware
• Enables work related task to be coordinated
throughout a network as way as increasing
team productivity

34. Project management
• Project management involves planning
organizing directing, controlling resources
(such as equipment and people) to meet
objective by set of date within the budget

36. Multi media authoring tools
• Combines a range of media ( data types)
including sound, graphics, text, animation, and
video into an east friendly environment.

38. communications
• electronic mail, or e mail as it commonly
called, involves the communication of data
over a network.

40. Web browser
• A web browser is a software application for
retrieving, presenting, and traversing
information resources on the World Wide
Web.

42. Web development software
• One of the growth publishing areas in web
publishing. Many organization are now in the
internet or are in the process of doing so. This
is becoming a very important communication
medium for many organization.

43. Programming language environment
• Underlying software is a programming
language. Programming languages send
messages to the CPU as each action is
required. However they can be used in
independently of the software.
