1.0 Introduction

OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Open source software (OSS) began as a marketing campaign for free software. OSS can be
defined as computer software for which the human-readable source code is made available under
a copyright license (or arrangement such as the public domain) that meets the Open Source
Definition. This permits users to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in
modified or unmodified form. It is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open
source software is the most prominent example of open source development and often compared
to user generated content. A report by Standish Group says that adoption of open source has
caused a drop in revenue to the proprietary software industry by about $60 billion per year.

HARDWARE
From Wikipedia,
the free encyclopedia

Hardware is a general term that refers to the physical artifacts of a technology. It may also mean
the physical components of a computer system, in the form of computer hardware

SOFTWARE From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Software is a general term used to describe a collection of computer programs, procedures and
documentation that perform some tasks on a computer system.

2.0 The Latest Open Source Operating System (OS)

2.1 Meaning of open source OS

Operating system From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An 'operating system' (commonly abbreviated OS and O/S) is the software component of a

computer system that is responsible for the management and coordination of activities and the
sharing of the resources of the computer. The operating system acts as a host for applications that
are run on the machine. As a host, one of the purposes of an operating system is to handle the
details of the operation of the hardware

2.2 Examples of open source Os

Microsoft Windows Linux

3.0 The Latest Open Source Application Software

3.1 Meaning of open source application software

Application software From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Application software is a subclass of computer software that employs the capabilities of a

computer directly and thoroughly to a task that the user wishes to perform. This should be
contrasted with system software which is involved in integrating a computer's various
capabilities, but typically does not directly apply them in the performance of tasks that benefit
the user. In this context the term application refers to both the application software and its
implementation.

3.2 Examples of open source application software

Examples of software applications are word processors, spreadsheets, and media players.

Multiple applications bundled together as a package are sometimes referred to as an application

suite. Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org, and iWork 08, which bundle together a word processor,
a spreadsheet, and several other discrete applications, are typical examples. The separate
applications in a suite usually have a user interface that has some commonality making it easier
for the user to learn and use each application. And often they may have some capability to
interact with each other in ways beneficial to the user. For example, a spreadsheet might be able
to be embedded in a word processor document even though it had been created in the separate
spreadsheet application.

5.0 Pervasive Computing

5.1 Meaning of pervasive computing

Pervasive computing is the trend towards increasingly ubiquitous (another name for the
movement is ubiquitous computing), connected computing devices in the environment, a trend
being brought about by a convergence of advanced electronic - and particularly, wireless -
technologies and the Internet.

5.2 Examples of pervasive computing

Advanced high bandwidth networking services

Networked devices, sensors, instruments, interfaces

Information and computational resources, organized as a ubiquitous service grid

Converged telecommunication including global wireless voice and data broadband networks

Human-machine interaction technologies

Software "agent" technologies
