INTRODUCTION
Open-source software (OSS) 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, improve and at times also to distribute the software. Some open source licenses meet the requirements of the Open Source Definition. Some open source software is available within the public domain. Open source software is very often developed in a public, collaborative manner. Open-source software is the most prominent example of open-source development and often compared to (technically defined) user-generated content or (legally defined) open content movements. Computer software, or just software, is a 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. In other words software is a set of programs, procedures.

THE LATEST OPEN SOURCE OPERATING SYSTEM (OS) MEANING OF OPEN SOURCE OS
Open-source means that you can get the source code of the software for free (source code is the code of the program written in a certain programing language). Operating system is the software that you use to operate your PC (like Windows or Linux). Operating system can be any Linux or UNIX flavour, but important thing is File system. ZFS is best suite for storage, so snapshot, writable clone and replication is free. Most of the storage company used to charge too much money as snapshop/clone and replication license. ZFS is very simple and convenient. You can use any operating system under vmware or Virtual box that support ZFS so you can manage your logical devices on top of physical devices. You don't need to purchase any hardware or software to manage your storage.

Mac OS X
Mac OS X is a line of partially proprietary graphical operating systems developed, marketed, and sold by Apple Inc., the latest of which is pre-loaded on all currently shipping Macintosh computers. Mac OS X is the successor to the original Mac OS, which had been Apple's primary operating system since 1984. Unlike its predecessor, Mac OS
X is a UNIX operating system built on technology that had been developed at NeXT through the second half of the 1980s and up until Apple purchased the company in early 1997. The operating system was first released in 1999 as Mac OS X Server 1.0, with a desktop-oriented version (Mac OS X v10.0) following in March 2001. Since then, six more distinct "client" and "server" editions of Mac OS X have been released, the most recent being Mac OS X v10.6, which was first made available on August 28, 2009. Releases of Mac OS X are named after big cats; the current version of Mac OS X is "Snow Leopard". The server edition, Mac OS X Server, is architecturally identical to its desktop counterpart but usually runs on Apple's line of Macintosh server hardware. Mac OS X Server includes work group management and administration software tools that provide simplified access to key network services, including a mail transfer agent, a Samba server, an LDAP server, a domain name server, and other.

THE LATEST OPEN SOURCE APPLICATION SOFTWARE 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. Open source licenses often meet the requirements of the Open Source Definition. Some open source application software is available within the public domain. Open source application software is very often developed in a public, 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.

Audacity
Audacity is a free software, cross-platform digital audio editor and recording application. It is available for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and BSD. Audacity was created by Dominic Mazzoni while he was a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University. Mazzoni now works at Google, but is still the main developer and maintainer of Audacity, with help from many others around the world. The latest release of Audacity is 1.3.13, a beta, released on 11 April 2011. As of 29 October 2010, it was the 10th most popular download from SourceForge.net, with 72 million downloads. Audacity won the SourceForge.net 2007 Community Choice Award for Best Project for Multimedia.

Pervasive computing is the trend towards increasingly ubiquitous (another name for the movement is ubiquitous computing), connected computing devices in the environment, a trend
being brought about by a convergence of advanced electronic - and particularly, wireless technologies and the Internet. Pervasive computing devices are not personal computers as we tend to think of them, but very tiny - even invisible - devices, either mobile or embedded in almost any type of object imaginable, including cars, tools, appliances, clothing and various consumer goods - all communicating through increasingly interconnected networks.

Healthcare
Pervasive computing offers opportunities for future healthcare provision in the UK, both for treating and managing disease, and for patient administration. For instance, remote sensors and monitoring technology might allow the continuous capture and analysis of patients physiological data. Medical staff could be immediately alerted to any detected irregularities. Data collection on this scale could also provide for more accurate pattern/trend analysis of longterm conditions such as heart disease, diabetes and epilepsy. Wearable sensors may offer greater patient mobility and freedom within hospitals and save both time and money by reducing the need for repeated and intrusive testing.
Domiciliary care
Over the next 20 years there will be a rise in the proportion of people over 65 years old in most developed countries. In the UK the over-65s will increase from 20% to 40% of the total population by 2025. These people may increasingly require care from a diminishing working population. PCS may help address the consequences of this imbalance. Improved methods for monitoring health and wellbeing could allow people to live longer in their own homes. Sensors embedded in items of clothing, for example, might allow constant monitoring of heart rates,
body-mass index, blood pressure and other physiological variables. Further sensors embedded throughout the home could detect movement and fluctuations within the ambient environment (such as temperature change) to alert care-workers to any irregularities. Visual displays or voice messages could also have the potential to remind people to take medications, while video telephones could provide personal contact with friends, family and careers.
