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 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)
