SUMMARY OF COMPUTER APPLICATIONS

SURNAMES AND NAMES: ALVAREZ VALDIVIA, TATIANA VANIA


Computer applications are a type of computer project created as a tool to allow a user to
perform one or more types of work.
CHARACTERISTICS
Computer applications
> This usually results in a computer solution for the automation of specific, but somewhat
difficult, tasks.
> Some advanced applications often promise greater power because they are exclusively
designed to solve a specific problem.
> Others, called integrated software packages, provide less power but instead contain
various applications, such as a word processing, spreadsheet, and database program.
Currently, with the automation of mobile devices, the term app has been developed, a computer
application for mobile devices or tablets with an agglomeration of functionalities. From games to
applications to perform common tasks.
DIFFERENT TYPES OF COMPUTER APPLICATIONS
1) Industrial or business software: software designed primarily for use in industrial
sectors in a very specific market.
2) General Purpose Software: Software used by a wide range of organizations and home
users with different intentions.
3) Local applications : Program specially stored on the hard drive (Hard Drive) of a
computer, as we can see this application can basically only be run on that computer
where it is stored.
4) Network Application: It is primarily designed to run over a network. It has two base
components. One running remotely and another running locally.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN COMPUTER APPLICATION PROGRAMS AND SYSTEMS
The difference between application programs and system programs is that system programs
propose reinforcement to the user to establish certain relationships with the computer, while
many application programs are programs that help the user to execute the named activities.
Application programmers, unlike system programmers, do not need to have a thorough
understanding of the internal mode of activity of the hardware. Programs must be completely
independent of specific hardware.
COMPUTER APPLICATION SOFTWARE
Computer application software is software that can make the computer help the user to carry
out typical common tasks, such as processing accounting or writing a text.
INDUSTRIAL COMPUTER APPLICATIONS
These can occupy a very significant place in manufacturing methods. In the industry to inspect
tasks where precision and speed of response is very essential. To inspect robots that execute
automatic assembly or movement procedures, etc.
TECHNICAL-SCIENTIFIC COMPUTER APPLICATIONS
Computers are manipulated as tools to perform tasks. They participate in the preparation of
atmospheric prophecies, environmental control, circulation, telephones, artificial satellites, air
navigation, etc.
MEDICAL COMPUTER APPLICATIONS
In medicine it goes from the beginning of the hospital inspection of patients to the exploration
and progress of unknown techniques to treat diseases and patients. In the application of clinical
analysis, maintenance of medical records, etc.
MILITARY COMPUTER APPLICATIONS
In the tactical field, automated radar methods, computerized missile management, military
satellite espionage, management of telegraph systems, defense and security systems, etc. are
highlighted.
EDUCATIONAL COMPUTER APPLICATIONS
In the training field, they consist of two points of view: one, the need to include computing as an
element in technical studies, because the computer is a fundamental tool in all areas, it is
necessary that every trained individual possess the necessary knowledge to the benefit of it. The
other as a complement to the training of students through computer-assisted teaching techniques.
