The software system is a system of intercommunization components based on software that forms part of a computer system (a combination of hardware and software). This " consists of a number of separate programs, configuration files, which are used to manage these programs, the system documentation, which describes the system structure, and the user documentation, which explains how to use the system".
While a computer program is a set of instructions (source, or object coude) the software system has more components such as specifications, test results, end-user documentation, maintenance records, etc.

Ikhtisar
The term "software system" should be distinguished from the terms "computer program" and "software". The term computer program generally refers to a set of instructions (source, or object code) that perform a specific task. However, the software system generally refers to a more thorough concept with more components such as specifications, test results, end-user documentation, maintenance records, etc.
The use of term software systems at times associated with the application of systems theory approach in the context of software engineering. The software system consists of several separate computer programs and associated configuration files, documentation, etc., that operate together. This concept is used in large and complex software studies, due to its focus on the component software and their interactions . This is also related to the field of software architecture.
The software system is an active area of ââresearch for groups interested in software engineering in particular and system engineering in general. Academic journals such as Journal of Systems and Software (published by Elsevier) are dedicated to this subject.
The ACM Software System Award is an annual award that respects people or organizations to develop software systems that have lasting influence, reflected in contributions to concepts, in commercial receipts, or both " It has been awarded by the Association for Computing Machines (ACM) since 1983, with cash prizes sponsored by IBM.

Category
The main categories of software systems include those based on application software, programming software and system software, although the difference is sometimes difficult. Examples of software systems include operating systems, computer reservation systems, air traffic control systems, military command and control systems, telecommunications networks, content management systems, database management systems, expert systems, embedded systems, etc.
