Founded in 1946, the IEEE Computer Society is a professional organization for computing professionals. Based in Washington, DC, it's the largest of IEEE’s 38 societies organized under the IEEE Technical Activities Board. The IEEE Computer Society is dedicated to advancing the theory, practice, and ...
(1) A course of action to be taken to perform a given task.~(2) A written description of a course of action as in (1); for example, a documented test procedure.~(3) A portion of a computer program that is named and that performs a specific action.
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) A dacument that specifies the design that production copies of a system or component must implement. Note: For software, this document describes the as-built version of the software.~(2) A document that describes the characteristics of a planned or existing product for consideration by potential customers or users.
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) A defined objective or characteristic action of a system or component. For example, a system may have inventory control as its primary function.~(2) A software module that performs a specific action, is invoked by the appearance of its name in an expression, may receive input values, and returns a single value.
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) A device or storage area used to store data temporarily to compensate for differences in rates of data flow, time of occurrence of events, or amounts of data that can be handled by the devices or processes involved in the transfer or use of the data.~(2) A routine that accomplishes the objectives in (1).~(3) To allocate, schedule, or use devices or storage areas as in (1).
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) A display of some aspect of a computer program's execution state, usually the contents of internal storage or registers. Types include change dump, dynamic dump, memory dump, postmortem dump, selective dump, snapshot dump; static dump.~(2) A display of the contents of a file or device.~(3) To copy the contents of internal storage to an external medium.~(4) To produce a display or copy as in (I), (2), or (3).
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) A finite set of well-defined rules for the solution of a problem in a finite number of steps; for example, a complete specification of a sequence of arithmetic operations for evaluating sine x to a given precision.~(2) Any sequence of operations for performing a specific task.
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) A fixed-length segment of data or of a computer program treated as a unit in storage allocation.~(2) In a virtual storage system, a fixed-length segment of data or of a computer program that has a virtual address and is transferred as a unit between main and auxiliary storage.~(3) A screenful of information on a video display terminal.
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) A formal technique used to prove mathematically that a computer program satisfies its specified requirements.~(2) A proof that results from applying the technique in (1).
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) A group of adjacent binary digits operated upon as a unit and usually shorter than a computer word (frequently connotes a group of eight bits).~(2) An element of computer storage that can hold a group of bits as in (1).
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) A medium, and the information recorded on it, that generally has permanence and can be read by a person or a machine. Examples in software engineering include project plans, specifications, test plans, user manuals.~(2) To create a document as in (1).~(3) To add comments to a computer program.
