  • ...
  • It can range from being a Single-Goal Goal-Directed Software System to being a Multi-Goal Goal-Directed Software System, depending on its goal-directed complexity level.
  • It can range from being a Static-Goal Goal-Directed Software System to being a Dynamic-Goal Goal-Directed Software System, depending on its goal-directed adaptation capability.
  • It can range from being a Explicit-Goal Goal-Directed Software System to being an Implicit-Goal Goal-Directed Software System, depending on its goal-directed specification method.
  • It can range from being a Short-Term Goal-Directed Software System to being a Long-Term Goal-Directed Software System, depending on its goal-directed temporal scope.
  • It can range from being a Deterministic Goal-Directed Software System to being a Probabilistic Goal-Directed Software System, depending on its goal-directed achievement certainty.
  • ...
  • It can integrate with Goal-Directed Planning Systems for goal-directed strategy development.
  • It can utilize Goal-Directed Monitoring Frameworks for goal-directed progress tracking.
  • It can employ Goal-Directed Optimization Algorithms for goal-directed performance enhancement.
