CATEGORIES OF SOFTWARE


As we know, inside the computer there are two main constituent components, which are what we currently know as hardware and software. Hardware is a collection of hardware devices or physical compilers of computers including the computer case, monitor, keyboard, mouse, motherbpard, etc. While software is a computer device that is related to documents that tell the computer what to do or how to do something, for example such as applications, operating systems, etc. while in this short article we will briefly discuss about categories of software. First, the software itself can be separated into three large category according to its popularity, namely: application software, computer programming tools, and system software. In each of these categories there are many types of software that are more specialized, but will not be discussed further in this article.
Application software is composed of programs that are designed to make user productivity more and/or help with personal tasks. Examples of applications are for graphic, multimedia, web page designers, software education, etc. essentially the application is designed to solve computer user problems and allows users to control the computers. Picture 1.1 shows an examples of an application software.

Secondly there is a computer programming tools, which is a programming tool that can be a utility or software that can help the development of software in editing, maintaining, or even performing specific programming tasks. An example is usually a stand-alone utility that can do certain things in each phase of programming such as a debugger that helps programmers resolve bugs in the program's source code and other examples such as GUI development tools, compilers, linkers, and others.
The last one is a system software which is a computer program designed to run computer’s hardware and application programs. System software handled detailed problems behind the screen that users do not need to worry about. . The OS or Operating System is the best example of a system software. OS is a basic system on a device and sometimes becomes the main focus in choosing a computer device. Some of OS examples are Android, IOS, etc. The system software also include system utilities such as disk defragmeter and system restore, as well as development tools such as compilers and debuggers.

RFM in Business Strategy

RFM Analysis For Successful Customer Segmentation Analysis RFM in Big Data RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) analysis is a proven marketing model for behavior based customer segmentation. It groups customers based on their transaction history – how recently, how often and how much did they buy. RFM helps divide customers into various categories or clusters to identify customers who are more likely to respond to promotions and also for future personalization services. RFM analysis evaluates which customers are of highest and lowest value to an organization based on purchase recency, frequency, and monetary value, in order to reasonably predict which customers are more likely to make purchases again in the future. What are Recency, Frequency and Monetary? ·         Recency      : How much time has elapsed since a customer’s last activity or transaction with the brand. ·     ...

Artifical Neural Network

Artificial Neural Network  is a computational model based on the structure and functions of biological neural networks. Information that flows through the network affects the  a neural network changes or learns, based on that input and output. So the point is  to create a computational system that could solve problems like a human brain. The Neural Networks was founded by  Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts in 1943. Then it was upgraded with AI (Artificial Intelligence) in 1975 by Kunijiko Fukushima called Artificial Neural Network (ANN) .   Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts Today  Neural Networks are important in information age, because help society to solve complex problems in real life condition. They can learn from model the relationships between inputs and outputs that are nonlinear and complex; make generalizations and inferences; reveal hidden relationships, patterns and predictions (such as financial time series data) and varianc...
