3. THE WORD COMPUTER
according to a set of instructions.
the first electronic computers were developed in
the mid-20th century (1940–1945)
Modern computers based on integrated circuits
are
millions to billions of times more capable
that the early machines, and
occupy a fraction of space
10/24/2013
A computer is a machine that manipulates data
4. WHAT IS COMPUTER SOFTWARE?
10/24/2013
Computer software, or just software, is the
collection of computer programs and related data
that provide the instructions telling a computer
what to do and how to do it.
We can also say software refers to one or more
computer programs and data held in the storage
of the computer for some purposes.
5. TYPES OF SOFTWARE
10/24/2013
System software provides the basic functions
for computer usage and helps run
the computer hardware and system. It includes a
combination of the following:
device drivers
operating systems
servers
utilities
window systems
6. PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE
10/24/2013
Programming software usually provides tools
to assist a programmer in writing computer
programs, and software using different
programming languages in a more convenient
way. The tools include:
compilers
debuggers
interpreters
linkers
7. APPLICATION SOFTWARE
10/24/2013
Application software is developed for some
certain purpose, which either can be a certain
program or a collection of some programs
Application software allows end users to
accomplish one or more specific (not directly
computer development related) tasks
Typical applications include:
industrial automation
business software
medical software
molecular modeling software
spreadsheet
8. APPLICATION SOFTWARE CLASSIFICATION
10/24/2013
An application suite consists of multiple
applications bundled together. They usually have
related functions, features and user interfaces,
and may be able to interact with each other
E.g. Microsoft Office, OpenOffice.org
o Enterprise software addresses the needs of
organization processes and data flow, often in a
large distributed environment. (Examples
include financial systems
9. APPLICATION SOFTWARE CLASSIFICATION
Educational software is related to content access software,
but has the content and/or features adapted for use in by
educators or students..
Simulation software are computer software for simulation
of physical or abstract systems for either research, training
or entertainment purposes.
Product engineering software is used in developing
hardware and software products. This includes computer
aided design (CAD), computer aided engineering (CAE),
computer language editing and compiling tools, Integrated
Development Environments, and Application Programmer
Interfaces.

10. THE USE OF COMPUTER APPLICATION SOFTWARE IN
VARIOUS FIELDS:10/24/2013
Banks use computers application: For MICR (Magnetic Ink Character Recognition).
For EFTPOS (Electronic Fund Transfer at Point
Of Sale).
For EDI (Electronic Data Interchange).
To administer the credit and debit card systems.
To combat credit and debit card crime

12. PACKAGES AVAILABLE IN BANKING
10/24/2013
The IT Packages and services available in India
can be broadly classified into the following 5 types:
Stand- alone branch-level packages.
Multi-branch solutions.
Foreign Packages.
Packages for specialized niche areas.

13. TO HELP SOLVE CRIME THE POLICE USE:
10/24/2013
The Police National Computer (PNC) keeps
computerized records (sorted into indexes) of stolen
and suspect vehicles, vehicle owners, the names of
convicted, wanted, or missing people, the names of
disqualified drivers, fingerprints, and DNA
obtained from people who have convicted of a
crime.
Databases to handle information gathered during
major investigations.
3D modeling programs to recreate crimes.
Centrally
controlled and monitored CCTV
Security cameras.
14. TRAFFIC LIGHT CONTROL SOFTWARE : -
The normal function of traffic
lights requires sophisticated control
and coordination to ensure that traffic
moves as smoothly and safely as
possible and that pedestrians are
protected when they cross the roads
A variety of different control systems
are used to accomplish this, ranging
from simple clockwork mechanisms to
sophisticated computerized control and
coordination systems that self-adjust to
minimize delay to people using the
road.

16. BUSINESS APPLICATION
SOFTWARE
Business software is generally any software program that
helps a business increase productivity or measure their
productivity. The term covers a large variation of uses
within the business environment, and can be categorized
by using a small, medium and large matrix:
10/24/2013
17. THE USAGE OF SOFTWARE ACCORDING TO
BUSINESS
10/24/2013
The small business market generally consists of
home accounting software, and office suites such
as Microsoft Office
The medium size, or SME, has a broader range of
software applications, ranging from accounting,
groupware, customer relationship management,
human resources software
The last segment covers enterprise level software
applications, such as those in the fields of
enterprise resource planning, enterprise content
management (ECM), business process
management (BPM) and product lifecycle
management.
18. TYPES OF BUSINESS APPLICATION SOFTWARE
TOOLS
Digital Dashboards - Also known as Business Intelligence
Dashboards, Enterprise Dashboards, or Executive
Dashboards, these are visually-based summaries of
business data that show at-a-glance understanding of
conditions through metrics and Key Performance
Indicators
Reporting software -generates aggregated views of data to
keep the management informed about the state of their
business.
Online Analytical Processing -commonly known
as OLAP (including HOLAP, ROLAP and MOLAP) - a
capability of some management, decision support, and
executive information systems that supports interactive
examination of large amounts of data

In medicine computers are used:
To keep patients’ records up-todate.
To monitor patients who are in
intensive care.
To produce images or scans of parts
of the body (e.g. ultra-sound scans,
CAT [Computerized Axial
Tomography) scans that produces a
3D image of the inside of a patient’s
body).
20. TYPES OF MEDICAL SOFTWARE
10/24/2013
Monitors
o heart rate, blood pressure, breathing rate, use software to

10/24/2013
The music industry uses computers:
To digitally record music.
To produce electronic music using synthesizers.
To ‘sample’ existing recordings.
To speed up the production of new recordings (it
is much easier to record each element of a
recording separately and then blend them
together than trying to do it all at the same
time).
23. COMPUTER APPLICATION IN SPORTS
In sports computers are used wildly in
conjunction with video cameras. These are used
to record the motion of all the sports men. 3D
programs are used later on to help the trainers
see there movements and could improve there
styles of playing.

pays money it owes
General ledger—the company's "books"
Billing—where the company produces invoices to
clients/customers
Stock/Inventory—where the company keeps control of its

attempts to collect overdue bills (sometimes part
of accounts receivable)
Electronic payment processing
Expense—where employee business-related
expenses are entered
Inquiries—where the company looks up
information on screen without any edits or

28. COMPUTERS IN EDUCATION
10/24/2013
Since the 1980s, computers have been widely available in
schools, libraries, and a growing percentage of U.S.
households. In fact, the percentage of U.S. public schools
that had computers grew from 77.7% in the academic year
1984-85 to 97.5% in 1993-94.
29. CONT’D
10/24/2013
There is no single application that is universal to all
classrooms. In some settings, students use computers
for simple word processing--that is, to type reports
and other documents and to print out the results.
This application allows students to revise and edit
easily
Another application of computers in classrooms is for
so-called computer-aided instruction (CAI).
Interactive programs provide practice in such basic
skills as spelling, math computation, and word
recognition.
