  3. What is a Software System ? • Software that enables and improves many applications. • Enable and improve the system by making it: • easier to build • more secure • faster • lower power • more predictable in timing • more reliable • more scalable

  4. Some Target Applications • medical informatics • biological databases • web servers • web browsing • mobile users • embedded systems • multiplayer games • collaborative design tools • video conferencing • data search and discovery • scientific computing

  5. Some New Capabilities • Increase battery life on your laptop (Shin, Flinn) • Collaborate securely over the Internet (Prakash) • Query probabilistic data in protein databases (Jagadish) • Keep laptop data secret even if it’s stolen (Noble) • Understand and model Internet (Jamin) • Repel denial-of-service attacks (Jahanian) • Efficiently track mobile users and provide location-based notification (Patel) • Detect intruders and track their actions (Chen)
