  Introduction to Computer System Software and Operating Systems 1. Introduction to System Software System software is a type of computer program designed to manage hardware and provide a platform for running application software. It acts as an intermediary between the computer hardware and the user applications, ensuring smooth and efficient operation of the system. Types of System Software: Operating Systems (OS): The most essential software that manages computer hardware and software resources. Utility Programs: Software designed to help in system maintenance and optimization (e.g., antivirus, disk cleanup tools). Device Drivers: Programs that allow the operating system to communicate with hardware components (e.g., printer drivers, graphics card drivers). Firmware: Low-level software embedded in hardware components, providing essential control functions. 2. What is an Operating System? An Operating System (OS) is the primary system software that manages all the hardware a...

In a  peer-to-peer (P2P) network , there is no central server. Instead, each device (or "peer") in the network can act as both a client and a server, directly sharing resources with other peers. This means each device can request resources from and provide resources to other devices on the network. Key Features of Peer-to-Peer Networks Decentralized Structure : Unlike client-server networks, where a central server manages resources, P2P networks are decentralized. Every peer has equal authority, meaning there’s no single point of control. Direct Communication : Peers communicate directly with each other, sharing resources like files, applications, or network bandwidth without needing an intermediary server. Resource Sharing : In a P2P network, resources such as files, processing power, and storage space are shared among the devices, making it highly collaborative. Each peer contributes part of its resources, benefiting the entire network. How Peer-to-Peer Networks Work In a P...
