Introduction
1.1 What is the meaning of Open Source
❖ Open source is a philosophy, or pragmatic methodology that promotes free redistribution
and access to an end product's design and implementation details.
❖ Open source refers to a program in which the source code is available to the general public for
use and/or modification from its original design.
❖ Open source code is typically created as a collaborative effort in which programmers improve
upon the code and share the changes within the community.
1.2 What is Open Source Software
❖ Open-source software is software whose source code is published and made available to the
public, enabling anyone to copy, modify and redistribute the source code without paying
royalties or fees.
❖ Examples: Blender, a 3D graphics editor, Mozilla Firefox, a web browser ,etc.
1.3 What is Open Source Hardware
❖ Open source hardware consists of physical artifacts of technology designed and offered by
the open design movement. Both free and open-source software (FOSS) as well as open
source hardware is created by this open source culture movement and applies a like concept
to a variety of components.
❖ Example: Beagle Board – a single-board computer based on low-power Texas Instruments
processors, using the ARM Cortex-A8 core, running Angstrom Linux.
2. The latest Open Source Operating System
2.1 What is Open Source Operating System
❖ An operating system (OS) is a collection of software that manages computer
hardware resources and provides common services for computer programs.
❖ The operating system is a vital component of the system software in a computer system.
❖ Application programs usually require an operating system to function.
2.2 Examples Of Open Source Operating System
❖ Linux
is a Unix-like computer operating system assembled under the model of free and open
source software development and distribution. The defining component of Linux is the Linux
kernel, an operating system kernel first released 5 October 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Since the
main supporting user space system tools and libraries originated in the GNU Project, initiated
in 1983 by Richard Stallman, the Free Software Foundation prefers the name GNU/Linux.
❖ Ubuntu
is a Debian-based Linux operating system, with Unity as its default desktop
environment (GNOMEwas the previous desktop environment). According
to some metrics, Ubuntu is the most popular desktop Linux distribution. The Ubuntu project is
publicly committed to the principles of open source development; people are encouraged to use
free software, study how it works, improve upon it, and distribute it.
3.0 The Latest Open Source Application Software
3.1 What is Open Source Application Software
❖ Application software is all the computer software that causes a computer to perform useful
tasks beyond the running of the computer itself. A specific instance of such software is called
a software application, application or app.
❖ Many application programs deal principally with documents. Applications may
be bundled with the computer and its system software or published separately, and can be
coded as university projects.
❖ Application software applies the power of a particular computing platform or system software
to a particular purpose.
3.2 Examples Of Latest Open Source Application Software
❖ Open Office 3.4
Apache OpenOffice (AOO) is an open-source office productivity
software suite. It descends from OpenOffice.org (OOo), which was an
open-sourced version of the earlier StarOffice. OpenOffice contains
a word processor (Writer), a spreadsheet (Calc), a presentation application (Impress),
a drawing application (Draw), aformula editor (Math), and a database management application
(Base).OpenOffice's default file format is the OpenDocument Format (ODF), an ISO/IEC standard. It
can also read a wide variety of other file formats, with particular
attention to
those from Microsoft Office.
❖ Ashampoo Office
Ashampoo Office 2010 is a productivity suite that offers a word processor, a program for editing
spreadsheets, and a program for creating and running presentations. These basic applications are
compatible with Microsoft Office 2007 and OpenOffice, which means that they will be able to read,
and also edit Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents.

5.0 Pervasive Computing
5.1 Meaning of Pervasive Computing
The idea that technology is moving beyond the personal computer to everyday devices
with embedded technology and connectivity as computing devices become progressively smaller and
more powerful. Also called ubiquitous computing, pervasive computing is the result of computer
technology advancing at exponential speeds -- a trend toward all man-made and some natural
products having hardware and software. Pervasive computing goes beyond the realm of personal
computers: it is the idea that almost any device, from clothing to tools to appliances to cars to homes
to the human body to your coffee mug, can be imbedded with chips to connect the device to an
infinite network of other devices. The goal of pervasive computing, which combines current network
technologies with wireless computing, voice recognition, Internet capability and artificial intelligence,
is to create an environment where the connectivity of devices is embedded in such a way that the
connectivity is unobtrusive and always available.
5.2 Examples
❖ 4G
In telecommunications, 4G is the fourth generation of mobile phone mobile
communication technology standards. It is a successor of the third generation (3G) standards.
A 4G system providesmobile ultra-broadband Internet access, for example to laptops
with USB wireless modems, to smartphones, and to other mobile devices. Conceivable
applications include amended mobile webaccess, IP telephony, gaming services, highdefinition mobile TV, video conferencing, 3D television and Cloud Computing.
Two 4G candidate systems are commercially deployed: the Mobile WiMAX standard (at first
in South Korea in 2006), and the first-release Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard (in Oslo,
Norway and Stockholm, Sweden since 2009).
❖ Touch ‘n Go
smart card is used by Malaysian toll expressway and highway operators as the sole electronic
payment system (EPS). The credit card sized smartcard made of
plastic with Philips' MIFARE microchip technology embedded in it.
The Touch 'n Go systems are designed to process up to 800 vehicles per hour to ease the
queue congestion at toll plazas and if used together withSmartTAG (a non-stop electronic toll
collection system), will be able to process up to 1,200 vehicles per hour.
6.0 Conclusion
With all the advancements of technology and communication, the world has become a better and
easier place for people to live in. These advancements will help in futher improving the life of people
and be a stepping stone for more technological breakthroughs to come. It is once said that man or
humans will never be satisfied with what they have, that means that improvements in technology will
never stop and will push people to do more.
