vvdIntroduction
Open-source software (OSS) is computer software with its source
code made available with a license in which the copyright holder provides
the rights to study, change, and distribute the software to anyone and for any
purpose.
Computer hardware (or simply hardware in computing contexts) 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), graphic cards, sound cards, memory (RAM), motherboard,
and so on, all of which are tangible physical objects. By contrast,
software is instructions that can be stored and run by hardware.
Organized information in the form of operating systems, utilities, programs,
and applications that enable computers to work.

2.1 Meaning of Open Source Operating System
An operating system is a set of programs containing instructions
that coordinate all the activities among computer hardware
resources. Most operating system perform similar function that
includes starting a computer, provide a user interface, managing
program, managing memory and configuring devices. Some
operating system also allows user to control a network and
administer security.

2.2 Examples of Open Source Operating System

2.2.1 OpenSolaris

Open Solaris is a discontinued, open source computer operating

system based on Solaris created by Sun Microsystems. It was also the
name of the project initiated by Sun to build a developer and user
community around the software. After the acquisition of Sun
Microsystems in 2010, Oracle decided to discontinue open
development of the core software, and replaced the Open Solaris
distribution model with the proprietary Solaris Express.

2.2.2 FreeBSD

 FreeBSD is a free Unix-like operating system descended
from Research Unix via the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD).
Although for legal reasons FreeBSD cannot use the Unix trademark, it
is a direct descendant of BSD, which was historically also called "BSD
Unix" or "Berkeley Unix". The first version of FreeBSD was released
in 1993, and today FreeBSD is the most widely used open-source BSD
distribution, accounting for more than three-quarters of all installed
systems running open-source BSD derivatives.

3.1 Meaning of Open Source Application Software
Open source application software is computer software that is available in
source code form for which the source code and certain other rights normally
reserved for copyright holders are provided under a software license that
permits users to study, change, and improve the software. Some open source
application software is available within the public domain. Open source
application software is very often developed in a public and collaborative
manner. Open source application software is the most prominent example of
open source development and often compared to user-generated content or
open content movements. The term open source application software
originated as part of a marketing campaign for free application software.
3.2 Examples of Open Source Application Software

3.2.1 Spreadsheet

A spreadsheet is an interactive computer application for organization,

analysis and storage of data in tabular form. Spreadsheets are developed as
computerized simulations of paper accounting worksheets. The program
operates on data entered in cells of a table. Each cell may contain either
numeric or text data, or the results of formulas that automatically calculate
and display a value based on the contents of other cells. Spreadsheet users
may adjust any stored value and observe the effects on calculated values.
This makes the spreadsheet useful for "what-if" analysis since many cases
can be rapidly investigated without manual recalculation. Modern
spreadsheet software can have multiple interacting sheets, and can display
data either as text and numerals, or in graphical form.

 3.2.2 Aeronautical flight simulator

A flight simulator is a device that artificially re-creates aircraft flight and the
environment in which it flies, for pilot training, design, or other purposes. It
includes replicating the equations that govern how aircraft fly, how they
react to applications of flight controls, the effects of other aircraft systems,
and how the aircraft reacts to external factors such as air density, turbulence,
wind shear, cloud, precipitation, etc. Flight simulation is used for a variety of
reasons, including flight training (mainly of pilots), the design and
development of the aircraft itself, and research into aircraft characteristics
and control handling qualities.

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

7
 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 unobtru
sively. The products are connected to the Internet and the data they generate
is easily available.
5.2 Examples Of Pervasive Computing

5.2.1 VR

The age of virtual reality is upon us (again) with a torrent of devices

and content launching throughout 2016.There has been a buzz around
virtual reality (VR) for the past few years. Some of this has come
from the lengthy development of devices like Oculus Rift, but also
through a growing interest in what we'll be able to get VR to do in
the modern era.

The idea of VR isn't new. It's been circulating in the tech space for a
number of years, but recently, the technology has broken through
some of the long-standing barriers. Enabling access has helped, with
devices like Google's Cardboard opening the door for anyone with a
smartphone, right up to demonstrating what a fully-fledged premium
system like HTC Vive will be capable of. We now have the power in
home computers for lifelike virtual environments and this makes it a
8
 much more exciting time for VR.

So, without further ado, we've listed some of the top VR

systems available. Their prices range dramatically, and some haven't
actually been officially launched yet, but they're all worth being
aware of, as you'll be seeing a lot more of VR in 2016.

5.2.2 Gary Hamel

The wearables business is gaining momentum and is one of the most exciting
markets of the digital age. We at Koru decided to share some of the key
trends we believe will emerge this year. To quote Gary Hamel, a hero of
mine: todays niche markets are tomorrows mass markets.

6.0 Conclusion
Open Source can be used by anyone and because it has no copyright claims, so
users are free touse, 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.
