1.0 Introduction 1.1Meaning of software Computer software, or just software, is any set of machine-readable instructions (most often in the form of a computer program) that directs a computer's processor to perform specific operations. The term is used to contrast with computer hardware, the physical objects (processor and related devices) that carry out the instructions. Hardware and software require each other; neither has any value without the other. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software 1.2 Meaning of hardware Hardware is a comprehensive term for all of the physical parts of a computer, as distinguished from the data it contains or operates on, and the software that provides instructions for the hardware to accomplish tasks. The boundary between hardware and software is slightly blurry - firmware is software that is "built-in" to the hardware, but such firmware is usually the province of computer programmers and computer engineers in any case and not an issue that computer users need to concern themselves with. http://www.openprojects.org/hardware-definition.htm 1.3 Meaning of operating system The operating system is the most important program that runs on a computer. 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. http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/O/operating_system.html

2.0 The Latest Open Source Operating System(OS) 2.1 Meaning of Open Source Operating System An open source (OS) operating system is a set of programs that schedule tasks, allocates storage and presents a default interface to the user between applications. But this OS is free, users have the right to use, modify and redistribute the software for better interoperability. http://ictspm.smkhamzah.edu.my/articles.php?article_id=25 2.2 Examples of open source operating system 2.2.1 Syllable The CMS that builds our websites was used on Syllable Server so far, but now it has been ported to Syllable Desktop. This was done by porting it to REBOL 3. The screenshot shows Desktop building its own website in static batch mode and synchronizing it with Amazon S3.This screenshot shows Webster previewing the built site as local files. Building the websites on Syllable Server is around 35% faster with REBOL 3 than with REBOL 2. A few longstanding problems in our Russian website and documentation were fixed because REBOL 3 now understands Unicode.

2.2.2 Ubuntu Ubuntu is an operating system based on the Linux kernel and the Linux distribution Debian, with Unity as its default desktop environment. It is distributed as free and open source software. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system)
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. http://kerjakursusict2011.blogspot.com/2011/06/kerja-kursus-ict-2011.html 3.2 Examples of open source application software 3.2.1 KOffice A free, integrated office suite for KDE, the K Desktop Environment. KOffice is an integrated office suite for the KDE (K Desktop Environment) consisting of several applications like for examples a word processor (KWord) and a spread sheet (KSpread). Based on the KParts component model, KOffice offers a lot of interoperability between all its components. For example, you can embed every KOffice component into another component (for example a 6
KSpreadtable into your KWord document.) KOffice is an open-source project and completely free. All licenses are GPL- compatible, mostly GPL or LGPL version 2. Apart exceptions, libraries and filters are mostly LGPL, while applications are LGPL or GPL. http://forum.engkabang.net/index.php?topic=420.0
3.2.2 NeoOffice NeoOffice is an office suite for the OS X operating system. It is a fork of the free/open source OpenOffice that implements nearly all of the features of the corresponding OpenOffice.org version for the Apple PC, including a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation program, and graphics program. It is ported by Planamesa Software, and uses Java technology to integrate OpenOffice.org originally developed for Solaris and Linux with the Aqua interface of Mac OS X. The latest version of NeoOffice is: 3.3 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NeoOffice

5.0 Pervasive computing 5.1 Meaning of pervasive computing 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 unobtrusively. The products are connected to the Internet and the data they generate is easily available. http://searchnetworking.techtarget.com/definition/pervasive-computing 5.3 Examples of pervasive computing 5.3.1 RUGGED RUKUS SOLAR SPEAKER This tough, lightweight, splash-proof Bluetooth speaker is about six inches squared. So it's small enough to travel with, yet features a large enough solar panel to keep the music going all day. It fully charges in less than five hours in direct sunlight, or just a couple hours via AC power. When the sun goes down and you're not near an outlet, its battery can keep blasting tunes for another eight hoursless, depending on how much you conveniently use it to supply power to your thirsty mobile devices. http://www.fodors.com/news/best-new-travel-tech-for-2013-6387.html

6.0 Conclusion All in all, open source can be used by anyone because it has no copyright claim, so the user is free to use, modify, and improve the software and redistribute it. Pervasive computing is to make our lives easier because we can interact with computers. In addition, we can give instructions to the computer and the computer will be in accordance with our requirements in accordance with what we have set in it.
