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

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

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 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)
