3、A No part of this document may be reproduced in any form, in an electronic retrieval system or otherwise, without the prior written permission of the publisher. IEEE Standards documents are developed within the Technical Committees of the IEEE Societies and the Standards Coordinating Committees of t
4、he IEEE Standards Board. Members of the committees serve voluntarily and without compensation. They are not necessar- ily members of the Institute. The standards developed within IEEE represent a consensus of the broad expertise on the subject within the Institute as well as those activities outside
5、 of IEEE which have expressed an interest in participating in the development of the standard. Use of an IEEE Standard is wholly voluntary. The existence of an IEEE Standard does not imply that there are no other ways to produce, test, measure, purchase, market, or provide other goods and services r
6、elated to the scope of the IEEE Standard. Furthermore, the viewpoint expressed at the time a standard is approved and issued is subject to change brought about through developments in the state of the art and comments received from users of the standard. Every IEEE Standard is subjected to review at
7、 least once every five years for revision or reaffirmation. When a document is more than five years old, and has not been reaffirmed, it is reasonable to conclude that its contents, al- though still of some value, do not wholly reflect the present state of the art. Users are cautioned to check to de
8、termine that they have the latest edition of any IEEE Standard. Comments for revision of IEEE Standards are welcome from any interested party, regardless of membership affiliation with IEEE. Suggestions for changes in documents should be in the form of a pro- posed change of text, together with appr
9、opriate supporting comments. Interpretations: Occasionally questions may arise regarding the meaning of portions of standards as they relate to specific applica- tions. When the need for interpretations is brought to the attention of IEEE, the Institute will initiate action to prepare appropriate re
10、- sponses. Since IEEE Standards represent a consensus of all con- cerned interests, it is important to ensure that any interpretation has also received the concurrence of a balance of interests. For this reason IEEE and the members of its technical committees are not able to provide an instant respo
11、nse to interpretation requests except in those cases where the matter has previously received formal consideration. Comments on standards and requests for interpretations should be addressed to: Secretary, IEEE Standards Board 345 East 47th street New York, NY 10017 USA IEEE Standards documents are
12、adopted by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers without regard to whether their adoption may involve patents on articles, materials, or processes. Such adop- tion does not assume any liability to any patent owner, nor does it assume any obligation whatever to parties adopting the st
13、andards documents. (This Foreword is not a part of the IEEE Standard Computer Dictionary: Compilation of IEEE Standard Computer Glossaries.) The computer field is continuing to expand. New terms are being generated and new meanings are being adopted for existing terms. The IEEE Computer Dictionary p
14、roject was undertaken to document this vocabulary. Its purpose is to identify terms currently in use in the computer field and to establish standard definitions for these terms. The dictionary is intended to serve as a useful reference for those in the computer field and for those who come into cont
15、act with computers either through their work or in their everyday lives. The dictionary is being developed as a series of subject-area glossaries, each approved and published as it is completed. This edition of the dictionary contains all terms and definitions from the glossaries published to date.
16、The IEEE designations and subject matter of these glossaries are as follows: IEEE Std 1084 l610.11-1986 Mathematics of Computing Terminology IEEE Std 610.2-1987 Computer Applications Terminology IEEE Std 610.3-1989 Modeling and Simulation Terminology IEEE Std 610.4-1990 Image Processing and Pattern
17、Recognition Terminology IEEE Std 610.5-1990 Data Management Terminology IEEE Std 610.12 7291-1990 Software Engineering Terminology The remaining glossaries in the series are listed below. Future editions of the dictionary will contain terms and definitions from those glossaries that have been publis
18、hed at the time of dictionary compilation.

19、omputation Terminology Computer Languages Terminology Every effort has been made to use definitions from established standards in this dictionary. When existing standards were found to be incomplete, unclear, or inconsistent with other entries in the dictionary, however, new, revised, or composite d
20、efinitions have been developed.
