#$% INTRODUCTION
OPEN&SOURCE SO'TWARE
Open1Source Software is software t$at is free to use and w$ic$ provides t$e ori'inal source
code used to create it so t$at advanced users can modif3 it to ma)e it wor) %etter for t$em
Open1Source Software is computer software t$at is availa%le in source code from: t$e source
code and certain ot$er ri'$ts normall3 reserved for cop3ri'$t $olders are provided under a
software license t$at permits users to stud38 c$an'e8 improve and at times also to distri%ute
t$e software Open Source Software is ver3 often developed in a pu%lic8 colla%orative
manner Open1Source Software is t$at most prominent e#ample of open1source development
and often compared to 9tec$nicall3 defined: users1'enerated content or 9le'all3 defined:

HARDWARE
7ersonal computer $ardware are component devices w$ic$ are t3picall3 installed into a
perip$eral to a computer case to create a personal computer upon w$ic$ s3stem software is
installed includin' a firmware interface suc$ as a *IOS and a operatin' s3stem w$ic$
supports application software t$at performs t$e operator;s desired functions Operatin'
s3stems usuall3 communicate wit$ devices t$rou'$ $ardware %uses %3 usin' software
device drivers
SO'TWARE
Computer software8 or <ust software is collection of computer pro'rams and related data t$at
provide t$e instruction for tellin' a computer w$at to do and $ow to do it In ot$er words8
software is a conceptual entit3 w$ic$ is set of computer pro'rams8 produces8 and associated
documentations concerned wit$ t$e operation of data processin' s3stem &e can also sa3
software refers to one or more computer pro'rams an $eld in t$e stora'e of t$e computer for
some purpose In ot$er words software is a set of pro'rams8 produces8 al'orit$ms and its
documentation
($% THE )ATEST OPEN SOURCE OPERATIN" S*STEM
($# MEANIN"S O' OPEN SOURCE OPERATIN" S*STEM
Open source Operatin' S3stem is an3 operatin' s3stems t$at is free to used and
w$ic$ provides t$e ori'inal code w$ere t$e source code is availa%le 9under a
cop3ri'$t license: to t$e pu%lic8 w$ic$ ena%le t$em to use8 modif3=en$ance t$e
operatin' s3stem8 and redistri%ute t$e modified 9or unmodified:form of t$e operatin'
s3stem T$e advanced user can modif3 t$e code of t$e operatin' s3stem to ma)e it
wor)s %etter for t$em in startin' t$e computer or a li)el3 user interface Some
operatin' s3stem also allows users to control a networ) and administer securit3 ,ost
of operatin' s3stem performs similar function t$at includes startin' a computer8
provides a user interface8 mana'in' memor3 and confi'urin' devices
+$% THE )ATEST OPEN SOURCE APP)ICATION SO'TWARE
+$# MEANIN"S O' OPEN SOURCE APP)ICATION SO'TWARE
An Open Source Application Software is a computer pro'ram t$at functions and it;s
operated %3 means of a computer8 wit$ t$e purpose of supportin' or improvin' t$e
software user;s wor) In ot$er words8 it is t$e su%class of computer directl3 and
t$orou'$l3 to as) t$at t$e user wis$es to perform T$e software source code is in t$e
pu%lic domain T$is permits users to use8 c$an'e and improve t$e software and to
redistri%ute it in modified or unmodified forms

,$# MEANIN" O' PER-ASI-E COMPUTIN"
T$e idea t$at tec$nolo'3 is movin' %e3ond t$e personal computer to ever3da3
devices wit$ em%edded tec$nolo'3 and connectivit3 as computin' devices %ecome
pro'ressivel3 smaller and more powerful Also called ubiquitous computing8
pervasive computin' is t$e result of computer tec$nolo'3 advancin' at e#ponential
speeds8 a trend toward all man1made and some natural products $avin' $ardware and
software
7ervasive computin' 'oes %e3ond t$e realm of personal computers: it is t$e idea t$at
almost an3 device8 from clot$in' to tools to appliances to cars to $ome to t$e $uman
%od3 to 3our coffee mu'8 can %e im%edded wit$ c$ips to connect t$e device to an
