Questions and Answers

What differentiates a real-time system from an interactive system?

  • Real-time systems can exceed response time without issues, while interactive systems cannot.
  • Real-time systems do not need to respond quickly, while interactive systems must respond immediately.
  • Real-time systems focus on management decision making, while interactive systems focus on number crunching algorithms.
  • Real-time systems must respond within strict time constraints, while interactive systems have no time constraints. (correct)

    • What is the main focus of business software applications?

  • Restructuring existing data for business operations (correct)
  • Conducting system simulations
  • Automating manufacturing processes
  • Performing number crunching algorithms

    • Which area has been traditionally characterized by 'number crunching' algorithms?

  • System Software
  • Engineering and Scientific Software (correct)
  • Operating System Components
  • Business Software

    • What types of applications are moving away from conventional numerical algorithms in the engineering/scientific area?
