  "definition": "1. A hardware/software system implemented to satisfy a particular set of requirements. In this context, an application incorporates a system used to satisfy a subset of requirements related to the verification or identification of an end user’s identity so that the end user’s identifier can be used to facilitate the end user’s interaction with the system.\n\n2. A software program hosted by an information system.\n\n3. the system, functional area, or problem to which information technology isapplied. The application includes related manual procedures as well as automated procedures. Payroll, accounting, and management information systems are examples of applications.\n\n4.
