TITLE: The Latest Open Source Software Available and The

Latest Development in ICT

1.0 Open source

Open Source Software (oss) is defined as computer software for which the source code and

certain other rights normally reserved for copyright holders are provided under a software

license that meets the Open Source Definition or that is in the public domain. This permits

users to use, change, and improve the software, and tore distribute it in modified or

unmodified forms.

MEANING OF HARDWARE

with a computer. Since a computer's primary language is binary, devices are necessary to

convert our input into that language. The binary code coming out of the computer must also

be translated into something usable for the operator. A computer's hardware consists of the

physical components necessary to operate and interact.

MEANING OF SOFTWARE

Software means computer instructions or data. Anything that can be stored electronically is

software, in contrast to storage devices and display devices which are called hardware.

Software is often divided into two categories:

(a) System software: Includes the operating system and all the utilities that enables

the computer to function.

(b) Application software

Aplication Software: is a software anybody can develop it for a particular work.

Example in a glossary store we can have a application software for accounts, stock list

but it cannot be used anywhere other than it.

Application Software

Includes programs that do real work users. For examples, word proccessors, spreadsheets,

and database management system fall under category of application software.

THE LATEST OPEN SOURCE OPERATING SYSTEM (OS)

2.1 MEANING OF OPEN SOURCE OS

Open Source Operating System is the most important program that runs on a computer that

is free to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified or

unmodified forms. Every general-purpose computer must have an operating system to run

other programs. Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the

keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the

disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers.

2.2 EXAMPLE OF OPEN SOURCE OS

(i) KUBUNTU LINUX

Kubuntu is an official derivative of the Ubuntu operating system which uses the KDE

Plasma Desktop instead of the Unity graphical environment. As part of the Ubuntu project,

Kubuntu uses the same underlying systems, every package in Kubuntu shares the same

repositories as Ubuntu, and it is released regularly on the same schedule as Ubuntu. It is

possible to install both the KDE Plasma Desktop (kubuntu-desktop) and the Unity desktop

(ubuntu-desktop) on the same machine.

A user friendly operating system based on KDE, the K desktop Environment .With a

predictable 6 month release cycle and part of the Ubuntu project, Kubuntu is the GNU/Linux

distribution for everyone. Improved desktop, updated applications and increased usability

features are just a few of the surprises with this latest release.

Haiku

Haiku is a free and open-source operating system compatible with the now discontinued

BeOS. Its development began in 2001, and the operating system became self-hosting in 2008.

The first alpha release was made in September 2009, and the most recent was November

2012.

Haiku is supported by Haiku, Inc., a non-profit organization based in Rochester, New York,

founded in 2003 by former project leader Michael Phipps

Haiku began as the OpenBeOS project in 2001, the year that Be, Inc. was bought by Palm,

Inc. and BeOS development was discontinued; the focus of the project was to support the

BeOS user community by creating an open-source, backward-compatible replacement for

BeOS. The first project by OpenBeOS was a community-created "stop-gap" update for BeOS

5.0.3 in 2002. In 2003, the non-profit organization Haiku, Inc. was registered in Rochester,

New York, to financially support development, and in 2004, after a notification of

infringement of Palm's trademark of the BeOS name was sent to OpenBeOS, the project was

renamed Haiku. However, development would only reach its first milestone in September

2009 with the release of Haiku R1/Alpha 1.

3.0 THE LATEST OPEN SOURCE APPLICATION SOFTWARE

3.1 MEANING OF OPEN SOURCE APPLICATION SOFTWARE

Open Source Application Software includes database programs, word processors, and

spreadsheets and others. It is free to use, change, and improve the software and to redistribute

it in modified or unmodified forms.

3.2 EXAMPLE OF OPEN SOURCE APPLICATION SOFTWARE

WEB BROWSER

A web browser is a software application for retrieving, presenting, and traversing information

resources on the World Wide Web. An information resource is identified by a Uniform

Resource Identifier (URI) and may be a web page, image, video, or other piece of content.

Hyperlinks present in resources enable users easily to navigate their browsers to related

resources. The major web browsers are Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome,

Apple Safari, and Opera.

4.0 THE LATEST DEVELOPMENT IN ICT

4.1 Hardware

Computer hardware (usually simply called hardware when a computing context is implicit) is

the collection of physical elements that constitutes a computer system. Computer hardware is

the physical parts or components of a computer, such as the monitor, mouse, keyboard,

computer data storage, hard disk drive (HDD), system unit (graphic cards, sound cards,

memory, motherboard and chips), and so on, all of which are physical objects that can be

touched (that is, they are tangible). In contrast, software is instructions that can be stored and

run by hardware.

4.2 Software

Software is any set of machine-readable instructions that directs a computer's processor to perform specific operations. A combination of hardware and software forms a usable computing system

Computer software or simply software is any set of machine-readable instructions that directs

a computer's processor to perform specific operations. Computer software contrasts with

computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers.

5.0 PERVASIVE COMPUTING

5.1 MEANING OF PERVASIVE COMPUTING

Pervasive computing (also called ubiquitous computing) is the growing trend towards

embedding microprocessors in everyday objects so they can communicate information.

The words pervasive and ubiquitous mean "existing everywhere." Pervasive computing

devices are completely connected and constantly available. Pervasive computing relies

on the convergence of wireless technologies, advanced electronics and the Internet. The

goal of researchers working in pervasive computing is to create smart products that

communicate.

5.2 EXAMPLE OF PERVASIVE COMPUTING

5. 2. 1 SMART TV

Smart TV, which is also sometimes referred to as "Connected TV" or "Hybrid TV", (not to be

confused with Internet TV, Web TV, or LG Electronics‘s upcoming "SMART TV" branded

Net Cast Entertainment Access devices), is the phrase used to describe the current trend of

integration of the internet and Web 2.0 features into modern television sets and set-top boxes,

as well as the technological convergence between computers and these television sets /set-top

boxes.

These new devices most often also have a much higher focus on online interactive media,

Internet TV, over-the-top content, as well as on-demand streaming media, and less focus on

traditional broadcast media like previous generations of television sets and set-top boxes

always have had. The technology that enables Smart TVs is not only incorporated into

television sets, but also devices such as set-top boxes, Blu-ray players, game consoles, and

other companion devices. These devices allow viewers to search and find videos, movies,

photos and other content on the web, on a local cable TV channel, on a satellite TV channel,

or stored on a local hard drive.

5.2.2 GPS

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-based global navigation satellite system

(GNSS) that provides location and time information in all weather, anywhere on or near the

Earth, where there is an unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS satellites. It is

maintained by the United States government and is freely accessible by anyone with a GPS

receiver. The GPS project was developed in 1973 to overcome the limitations of previous

navigation systems, integrating ideas from several predecessors, including a number of

classified engineering design studies from the 1960s. GPS was created and realized by the

U.S .Department of Defense (USDOD) and was originally run with 24 satellites. It became

fully operational in 1994.

6.0 CONCLUSION

As a conclusion, open Source can be used by anyone and because it has no copyright claims,

so users are free to use, change, and improve the software, and to redistribute it in modified

or unmodified forms. Pervasive Computing is to make our lives easier because we can

interact with computers. Besides that, we can easily give the computer commands and the

computer will grant your wish.
