foundation for running application
software.
Examples:
Operating Systems (OS): Windows,
macOS, Linux.
Device Drivers: Software that allows
hardware to communicate with the
OS.
Utility Software: Maintenance
programs like antivirus and disk
cleaners.
FUNCTIONS OF SYSTEM
SOFTWARE

RESOURCE MANAGEMENT: HARDWARE COMMUNICATION: SECURITY AND MAINTENANCE:


ALLOCATES CPU, MEMORY, AND MANAGES INTERACTIONS PROVIDES FEATURES LIKE USER
STORAGE TO DIFFERENT TASKS. BETWEEN HARDWARE AUTHENTICATION, SYSTEM
COMPONENTS AND SOFTWARE. UPDATES, AND VIRUS
PROTECTION.
IMPORTANCE OF SYSTEM SOFTWARE

Foundation for Applications: Without system software,


applications wouldn’t have the platform to run on and would be
unable to interact with hardware.
System Stability and Efficiency: By managing resources, system
software ensures that the computer operates smoothly, avoiding
conflicts between programs and optimizing performance.
Security: System software helps protect the computer from viruses,
malware, and unauthorized access, ensuring data security.
FUTURE OF SYSTEM SOFTWARE

Artificial Intelligence Integratin: More


operating systems and utilities are
incorporating AI for predictive maintenance
and performance optimization.
Cloud-Based Operating Systems: With
the rise of cloud computing, operating
systems may rely more on cloud
infrastructure to manage resources and
applications.
Increased Security Features: As cyber
threats grow, future system software will
place a greater focus on security features,
