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.
