It can be in either location, depending on your head pressure ie a circ on the head or "pump away" will circulate water better in upper floors. If the system is in a 2 or 3 story house using standard baseboard, then having the circulator in either position wont matter. Most all manufacturers are shipping and or directing installers to pump away...circulator on the supply....

How does a forced-air heating system work?

Room air is drawn into the return air ducts and proceeds to a squirlcage or "sirocco" fan. The air is then discharged into the furnace's heat exchanger where the hot flue gases from the fire are cooled by the air and the air is warmed. This warm air is then forced through the heating supply ducts and up through the warm air registers in each room. Forced air systems can also include a humidifier, to add moisture to the air, filters to clean the air. and special filters to remove odors or ultra-violet lamps to sanitize the air.

What ways can object oriented systems be considered cure to the software crisis?

It isn't clear what you mean by the "software crisis". The benefits of object oriented systems are usually in the re-use of code (not having to write the same type of code over and over again), which leads to a better ROI (return on investment). This means you can leverage what you already have done to get a product to market faster.

Where in a room should vents be placed for central air conditioning?

In my opinion where the supply vents are located is not as important as where the return air vents are located. the supply vents should be located towards the outer walls if possible. the return air vents should be located towards the center of the dwelling if possible. every effort should be made to get the return air vents as high as possible on the wall , if not in the ceiling.Remember you are trying to get the warm air back to the a-coil so it can be pumped outside through the refrigeration lines to the condensing unit. if the ductwork is used for heating also you should put some return air vents down low to get the cool air to the furnace. This is my personal opinion and may not be everyones.
