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) The addresses that a computer program can access. Note: In some systems, this may be the set of physical storage locations that a program can access, disjoint from other programs, together with the set of virtual addresses referring to those storage locations, which may be accessible by other programs.~(2) The number of memory locations that a central processing unit can address.
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) The application of a systematic, disciplined, quantifiable approach to the development, operation, and maintenance of software; that is, the application of engineering to software.~(2) The study of approaches as in (1).
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) The complete set of computer programs, procedures, and possibly associated documentation and data designated for delivery to a user.~(2) Any of the individual items in (1).
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) The degree to which a system, component, or process meets specified requirements.~(2) The degree to which a system, component, or process meets customer or user needs or expectations.
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) The difference between a computed, observed, or measured value or condition and the true, specified, or theoretically correct value or condition. For example, a difference of 30 meters between a computed result and the correct result.~(2) An incorrect step, process, or data definition. For example, an incorrect instruction in a computer program.~(3) An incorrect result. For example, a computed result of 12 when the correct result is 10.~(4) A human action that produces an incorrect result. For example, an incorrect action on the part of a programmer or operator. Note: While all four definitions are commonly used, one distinction assigns definition 1to the word "error," definition 2 to the word "fault," definition 3 to the word "failure," and definition 4 to the word "mistake."
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) The instant at which a computer program begins to execute.~(2) The period of time during which a computer program is executing.~(3) See: execution time.
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) The number and arrangement of address fields in a computer instruction.~(2) The number and arrangement of elements within an address, such as the elements needed to identify a particular channel, device, disk sector, and record in magnetic disk storage.
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) The period of time in the software development cycle during which the user needs are described and evaluated through documentation (for example, statement of needs, advance planning report, project initiation memo, feasibility studies, system definition, documentation, regulations, procedures, or policies relevant to the project).~(2) The initial phase of a software development project, in which the user needs are described and evaluated through documentation (for example, statement of needs, advance planning report, project initiation memo, feasibility studies, system definition, documentation, regulations, procedures, or policies relevant to the project).
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) The process of decomposing a system into a hierarchy of modules.~(2) The process of removing a function from a module and placing it into a module of its own.
Industry:Computer; Software
(1) The process of distributing requirements, resources, or other entities among the components of a system or program.~(2) The result of the distribution in (1).
