Assignment 1 / task 2 : software application domain matrix.

Domain	Characteristic	Example Software
System Software	•       Generally, programs written to service other programs. •       Heavy interaction with computer hardware. •       Heavy usage by multiple users. •       Concurrent operation that requires scheduling. •       Resource sharing and sophisticated process management. •       Complex data structures. •       Multiple external interfaces.	•       OS – MS Windows, Linux Ubuntu. •       Drivers – printer driver. •       Networking software - wireless networking software. •       Telecommunication software – messaging system such as sms, mms. •       Compilers – Borland C++, Turbo C.
Application Software	•      Used to control business functins in real life time •       Also called end-user programs. •      Control business functions in real-time •       Applications in this area process business.	•       Point-of-sale (POS). •       Media players. •       Spreadsheets- Microsoft Excel. •       Word processors- Microsoft Word. •       Web Browsers- Mozilla Firefox.
Engineering/ Scientific Software	•      From automotive stress analysis to space orbital dynamics •       Number of crunching algorithm Ranges from astronomy to volcanology	•       Flight simulator •       computer-aided design (CAD). •       CAT scans. •       DNA analyses. •       Computer-aided Engineering (CAE).
Embedded Software	•      Used to implement and control features and functions for the end user and for the system itself. Embedded software can peform limited and esoteric functions or provide significant function and control capibility •       Its main role is to interact with the physical world. •       Designed to do some specific task, rather than be a general-purpose computer for multiple tasks. •     Performs limited and esoteric functions	•       Software to control robots’ movement. •       Consumer electronics-personal digital assistants (PDAs). •       Medical equipment   for vital signs monitoring- electronic stethoscopes. •       large stationary installations. •       controlling nuclear power plants.
Production-line Software	•       Address mass customer markets •      Focus on a limited and esoteric market place Provide a specific capability for use by many different customers •       Utilize multiple binding times.	•       Microsoft Word. •       Microsoft Excel. •       Microsoft Powerpoint. •       Microsoft Outlook. •       Automobile Development.
WebApps	•       They are evolving into sophisticated computing environments that not only provide standalone features •       It has the convenience of using a web browser as a client. •       Intergrated with corporate database and business application Set of linked hypertext files that present information using text and limited graphics •       Integrate easily into other server-side web procedures.	•       UNITEN Online Application System. •       Blogspot. •       Facebook. •       Myspace. •       Hotmail.
AI Software	•            Knowledge-based systems render their evaluation somewhat their different than conventional algorithmic software •            Problems that are not amenable to computation or straightforward analysis •             Learning system Computer changes how it functions or reacts to situations based on feedback. •             Neural network Computer system which simulate the human brain function.	•       Expert system – Diagnostic Medical   expert system •      Computer perception •      Voice recognition system •      Speech synthesizer •      Blackboard system
