Slide 1: Introduction

Hello everyone,

We would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone present here today. My name is Amirah, and I
am joined by my colleagues Matheus and Dhias. Together, we are here to present Software and
Operating System.

Before we delve into our presentation, allow us to briefly introduce ourselves and our roles within
the group. I am Amirah Aradhana, and I am responsible for [opening]. I brings about software. My
colleague Matheus Bhae responsible for [body/closing] and brings [Operating System/ Difference
between System Software and Operating System] to the team.Finally, we have Dhias Darma, who is
responsible for [body/cloasing], he brings [Operating System/ Difference between System Software
and Operating System].

Together, we have worked diligently to prepare a comprehensive presentation on Software and

Operating System, and we are excited to share our findings and insights with you today. Without
further ado, let's dive into our presentation. Thank you.

Slide 2: What is Software?

 Definition of Software:

Software refers to a set of instructions or programs that enable a computer system to

perform specific tasks. It encompasses all the non-physical components of a computer
system, including programs, applications, and operating systems.

 Importance of Software in Computing:

Software plays a crucial role in computing as it enables users to interact with hardware and
accomplish various tasks efficiently. Without software, computers would be unable to
perform any meaningful functions.

 Types of Software
 1. System software:

System software comprises programs that control and manage the basic operations
of a computer system. It includes the following components:

a. Operating Systems (OS): The operating system is the core software that
manages hardware resources and provides a user interface for interacting
with the computer. Examples include Windows, macOS, and Linux.

b. Device Drivers: Device drivers are software programs that enable the
operating system to communicate with hardware devices such as printers,
graphics cards, and input devices.

c. Utility Programs: Utility programs perform system maintenance tasks such

as disk cleanup, virus scanning, and system optimization.

2. Application software:

Application software is designed to perform specific tasks or applications for end-

users. Examples include:

a. Word Processors: Word processing software, like Microsoft Word and

Google Docs, allows users to create, edit, and format text documents.

b. Web Browsers: Web browsers, such as Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and
Microsoft Edge, enable users to access and navigate the World Wide Web.

c. Games: Gaming software provides entertainment through interactive

gameplay experiences. Examples include popular video games like Fortnite,
Minecraft, and Call of Duty.

Slide 3: What is Operating System?

 Definition of Operating System:

An operating system (OS) is a software program that acts as an intermediary between

computer hardware and user applications. It manages computer hardware resources and
provides a platform for running software programs. The operating system is responsible for
tasks such as managing memory, controlling input and output devices, scheduling tasks, and
providing a user interface.

 Importance of Operating System in Computing:

The operating system is essential for the proper functioning of a computer system and plays
a vital role in computing for several reasons:

1. Resource Management: The operating system manages hardware resources such

as CPU (Central Processing Unit), memory (RAM), disk storage, and peripheral
devices. It allocates resources efficiently among running processes to ensure
smooth operation.
 2. Process Management: The operating system schedules and manages processes or
tasks running on the computer. It controls the execution of programs, multitasking,
and switching between different applications.

3. Memory Management: The operating system manages system memory, allocating

and deallocating memory space to running programs as needed. It ensures that
each program has access to the required memory resources without interfering
with other processes.

4. File System Management: The operating system provides a file system that
organizes and manages files and directories stored on disk storage devices. It
facilitates file creation, deletion, reading, and writing operations.

5. Device Management: The operating system controls input and output (I/O) devices
such as keyboards, mice, monitors, printers, and network adapters. It handles
device communication and provides device drivers to facilitate interaction between
software and hardware components.

 Types of Operating Systems:

There are several types of operating systems, each designed for specific computing
environments and devices. Some common types include:

1. Single-User, Single-Tasking OS: These operating systems support only one user and
allow them to perform one task at a time. Examples include early versions of MS-
DOS.

2. Single-User, Multi-Tasking OS: These operating systems support one user but allow
them to run multiple programs simultaneously. Examples include Microsoft
Windows, macOS, and various flavors of Linux.

3. Multi-User OS: These operating systems support multiple users concurrently,

allowing them to share system resources and run programs simultaneously.
Examples include UNIX and Linux server editions.

4. Real-Time OS: Real-time operating systems are designed for applications that
require precise and predictable timing, such as embedded systems and control
systems in industrial settings.

5. Mobile OS: Mobile operating systems are designed for smartphones, tablets, and
other mobile devices. Examples include Android, iOS, and Windows Mobile.

Slide 4: Difference between System Software and Operating System

System software and operating system are two related concepts but are not the same thing. Here
are some of the main differences:

 Scope: Operating system is a type of system software, but system software is not limited to
operating system only. System software includes various other programs that help to manage
and run the computer system, such as device drivers, language translators, utility programs,
and more.

 Function: Operating system is the main program that manages and controls all the other
software and hardware components of the computer. It provides a platform for other
 software applications to run on top of it. System software, on the other hand, provides tools
and services to help developers create and manage software applications.

 Importance: Operating system is an essential component of any computer system. Without

an operating system, a computer cannot function. System software, on the other hand, is
important but not essential. Some applications can run without system software, but they
may not be able to utilize the full power of the computer system.

 Complexity: Operating systems are usually more complex than other types of system
software. They have to manage hardware resources, provide security, and support various
software applications. System software, on the other hand, can be relatively simple in
comparison, depending on its purpose.

Slide 5: Closing

The rapid advancements in software and operating systems have profoundly transformed the ways
we interact with technology. From seamless user experiences to enhanced productivity, these
innovations have revolutionised our digital landscape, empowering us to achieve more in our
personal and professional lives. Software and operating systems are the main components in the
world of information technology. A deep understanding of definitions, types, and the comparison
between the two will help us utilize technology more effectively and efficiently.

As we draw our presentation to a close, we hope that you now have a deeper understanding of
software and operating systems and their vital roles in the world of computing. Thank you, and have
a wonderful day!
