System & Application
A system software is any computer software which manages and controls
computer hardware so that application software can perform a task.
Operating systems, such as Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X or Linux, are
prominent examples of system software. System software contrasts with
application software, which are programs that enable the end-user to
perform specific, productive tasks, such as word processing or image
manipulation.
Application
Multiple applications bundled together as a package are sometimes
referred to as an application suite. Microsoft Office and
Open Office.org, 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.
Information Processing Cycle(IPC)
Input- text graphic
- input data to computer system
Output - Result * Center Processing Unit
* text, number, sound, animation and video
* computer screen, speaker and printer
Process - Performing the result
Storage - The storage hold databases, files and programs.
* A Bit is represented by the number 1 and 0 = ( binary digit )
* Byte is a unit of information built from bits. One byte equal 8 bits
