Software Engineering Assignment

DEFINITION

System Software

According to me a system software is a computer software that manages and controls the hardware so that application software can perform a task. It is an essential part of the computer system.

Example of an System software are Example Windows and Linux, operating system use to prepare the system to perform application task .

Business Software

According to me a Business software is any software program that helps a business increase productivity or measure their productivity. So a Business software can be any application software example Ms office and open office which help to perform office duties more professionally.

Real time Software

According to me A real time software is a computer program that interact with the real world entities . These interactions can get fairly complex. Example of such software can be the automatic pilot system on Air Craft.

Web Application

In software engineering, a Web application or webapp is an application that is accessed via web over a network such as the Internet or an intranet. Web applications are popular due to the ubiquity of a client, sometimes called a thin client. The ability to update and maintain Web applications without distributing and installing software on potentially thousands of client computers is a key reason for their popularity. Web applications are used to implement Webmail,online retail sales, online auctions, wikis, discussion boards, Weblogs, MMORPGs and many other functions.

A. I Software

According to me Artificial intelligence are software which have been develop to perform certain task like human being or even better in the real life. Example of Such Software can be Medical software performing Surgical operation on human being.

On the other the hand i got the following defintion from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are two goals to AI, the biggest one is to produce an artificial system that is about as good as or better than a human being at dealing with the real world. The second goal is more modest: simply produce small programs that are more or less as good as human beings at doing small specialized tasks that require intelligence. To many AI researchers simply doing these tasks that in human beings require intelligence counts as Artificial Intelligence even if the program gets its results by some means that does not show any intelligence, thus much of AI can be regarded as "advanced programming techniques".

Embedded Software

According to opinion an embedded software is normally used in devices, controlled by Micro processor, Example of such devices are washing machine and Microwaves.

I have also found the following definition from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An embedded system is a special-purpose computer system designed to perform one or a few dedicated functions.[1] It is usually embedded as part of a complete device including hardware and mechanical parts.

ENGINEERING SCIENTIFIC SOFTWARE

After having made a search on the above term, no definition was found.

Therefore in my opinion an engineering Scientific software is a software which is being used in laboratory for simulation purposes. For example Aircraft navigation system to be implemented on new model of Aircraft in aeronautic industries.
