Item 1: Introduction to Development Applications
1. Computer Software
When we talk about computers, we must refer to both the computer hardware and computer software. The hardware is the set of physical elements that make up a computer. Software is defined as a computer software package that is able to interpret and execute properly. Depending on your role, you may develop programs that fall under software control, treatment, and diagnosis.
- Control software is a set of programs, usually managed by

Chapter 4: Forecasting Accuracy
Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD)
Mean Absolute Deviation (MAD) is a metric used to evaluate the accuracy of forecasting. It represents the average of the absolute differences between forecasted values and actual values, providing a measure of overall forecast error.
Calculating MAD
| Quarter | Actual Tonnage Unloaded | Forecast with a = 0.10 | Forecast with a = 0.50 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 180 | 175 | |
| 2 | 168 | 175.50 = 175.00 + 0.10 (180 – 175) | |
| 3 | 159 | 174.75 = 175.50 + 0.10 (168 – 175.50) | |
| 4 | 175 | 173.18 = 174.75 + 0.10 (159 |
Multilevel Feedback Queues and Process Management
Planning Processor Queues: Multi-Level Feedback
Provide a structure to achieve the following objectives:
- Encourage shorter works.
- Encourage work limited by input/output to optimize the use of devices for input/output.
- Determine the nature of the work as quickly as possible and plan the work (process) accordingly.
A new process enters the ready list at the end of the upper tail. It moves through the FIFO queue until the CPU. If the job ends or leaves the CPU to wait for the completion of an input/output

Structural Systems
- Wall System (Longitudinal, Transverse, and Bidirectional): Load-bearing walls can be longitudinal, transverse, or bidirectional. Longitudinal walls run along the length of the building, while transverse walls run perpendicular to the length.
- Skeletal System (Column and Beam Frames): Includes columns and beams. It is suitable for multi-story buildings and allows for great flexibility in interior design.
- Combined System: Mixes elements of walls and columns. Used to optimize the benefits
