Components of Software Systems

A 'Component' is a single piece of code. In fact, a Component is a  small coded unit. 'Software Systems' are designed using coding practices. Such 'Software Systems' are made up of many such pieces of 'Components'. 


In a 'Software System', a 'Component' has a well-defined role. It is fitted in the 'Software System' to perform that role. 


Many 'Components' compose a 'Software System'. The 'Software System' can work successfully only when all the 'Components' ( pieces ) are doing their assigned tasks properly. Faulty 'Components' can be replaced.


In a 'Software System', a 'Component' has to participate. A 'Component' has a well-defined function. It  performs when required. 


A 'Component' is designed to work on its own.  It is armed with the code that can fulfill the task it is supposed to do.


A 'Software System' is powerful. Such a System is empowered by well-designed 'Components'. The power of a 'Software System' is the collective excellence of the total components.


The 'Software System' has a broad function. As compared to a 'Software System', a 'Component' is less capable.


The concept of 'Component' strengthens the idea of division of labour. Division of labour has proven that efficiency can be improved if specialized 'Components' are designed. Specialized 'Components' do a good job. 


Let us imagine that the concept of 'Components' wasn't with us. Let us say that there was a large body of code. This large size code if instructed to perform a variety of tasks would not be able to do justice. Justice with all the jobs that 'Software System' was supposed to do would not have been possible without assembling the 'Components'. It is because developing a big size software module is still not the choice of Software Developers. Frankly, a large size code has more chances of failure. 


Specialist 'Components' perform very well. As 'Components' are specialists the risks involved are less.The chance of failure of a 'Software System' based on 'Components' is minimal.

Local-Area Networks

Local-Area Networks ( LANs ) are restricted to a small area. Such Networks may be established within a building. Computers that are part of Local-Area Networks are Personal Computers ( PCs ) or microcomputers. These Computers are connected to each other. Simple communication lines connect these Pers Networks bring people together. When people join  hands teamwork becomes possible. The structural composition of LANs simplifies teamwork. In other words, LAN hardware supports teams having similar processing requirements. LAN Computers readily support personalization of tasks allocated to professionals.  Office staff can work together and share information. This improves the efficiency of the entire workforce. It has been noted that here all the Networked Computers are Personal Computers. They are of equal capacity. Mostly LAN users have similar tasks. If situations allow, a user is independent to access any Computer to serve his purpose. LAN users can exercise the option of secu...

Computers - An Introduction

Computers are man made machines. They are made to work very fast. Working fast they can solve  big and small problems.  Modern science has given us these computers. They are very popular. Computers affect and change lives. They keep us happy.The happiness grows. Computers are quick and smart. Great problem solvers and simplifiers are our computers. They can do our work without stopping. Focus is on doing only what is needed. Not needed, not done.  Computers are  life-less servants. They cannot think or make decisions on their own. They are empowered to work. They are given each and every thing so that they carry out our orders. Orders are respected by computers. The manner in which computers work is wholly dependent on man.  The quality of service provided by computers is remarkable. They are loved by human beings. Computers are known for smart and quick service. Computers do not give wrong results. Correct answers are always given. Questions which are difficult...

Euclid's Algorithm

The Greatest Common Divisor ( GCD ) of  two numbers is a number. The number ( GCD ) causes division of the two numbers. This number ( GCD ) is the greatest number that is possible. This divisor partially forms the two numbers. Adding  the divisor successively may result in formation of the two numbers. One can note that when the divisor is the greatest, the division of the dividend is the sharpest. The division operation is very effective. When the Greatest Common Divisor of two numbers is considered, we think of a number that can cause division of both the numbers. Here the two numbers are unequal. The Greatest Common Divisor causes divisions of the two numbers differently. This is clear from the two different quotient values.  The GCD value is very interesting to note. It relates very well with the two numbers. The GCD of two even numbers is also an even number. The GCD of two odd numbers is an odd number. So, we can say that GCD is an abstraction of the two numbers in ...
