Computing

← Back to Domain-Specific Abstractions by Domain

6 domain-specific abstractions whose origin domain is Computing.

  • Bandwidth Management — The policy-controlled measurement, classification, scheduling, shaping, policing, and feedback of network traffic so finite link capacity is allocated among flows while meeting declared service objectives.
  • Classless Inter-Domain Routing — An Internet addressing and routing architecture that represents contiguous IP address blocks by arbitrary-length prefixes, enabling hierarchical allocation, longest-prefix forwarding, and route aggregation beyond fixed address classes.
  • Desktop Metaphor — A graphical-interface conceptual model that maps files, folders, documents, tools, windows, and disposal onto familiar office-desktop objects so users can predict digital actions by analogy.
  • Interface (computing) — A specified shared boundary through which hardware, software or human components exchange information and invoke services while hiding internal implementation.
  • Internet Bot — A persistent software actor that executes a delegated task policy through Internet-facing identities and client interfaces, converting repeated human interactions into a stateful, scalable observe-select-act loop.
  • Random seed — The initial state value supplied to a pseudorandom generator so that it deterministically produces a reproducible sequence.
