  2. Communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication

    Communication studies, also referred to as communication science, is the academic discipline studying communication. It is closely related to semiotics, with one difference being that communication studies focuses more on technical questions of how messages are sent, received, and processed.

  3. Glossary of computer science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_computer_science

    Also simply application or app. Computer software designed to perform a group of coordinated functions, tasks, or activities for the benefit of the user. Common examples of applications include word processors, spreadsheets, accounting applications, web browsers, media players, aeronautical flight simulators, console games, and photo editors. This contrasts with system software, which is ...

  4. Inter-process communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inter-process_communication

    In computer science, inter-process communication (IPC), also spelled interprocess communication, are the mechanisms provided by an operating system for processes to manage shared data. Typically, applications can use IPC, categorized as clients and servers , where the client requests data and the server responds to client requests. [ 1 ]

  5. Technical communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technical_communication

    Technical communication (or Tech Comm) is communication of technical subject matter such as engineering, science, or technology content. The largest part of it tends to be technical writing, though importantly it often requires aspects of visual communication (which in turn sometimes entails technical drawing, requiring more specialized training).

  6. Communication complexity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_complexity

    In theoretical computer science, communication complexity studies the amount of communication required to solve a problem when the input to the problem is distributed among two or more parties. The study of communication complexity was first introduced by Andrew Yao in 1979, while studying the problem of computation distributed among several ...

  7. Communication protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communication_protocol

    The nature of communication, the actual data exchanged and any state-dependent behaviors, is defined by these specifications. In digital computing systems, the rules can be expressed by algorithms and data structures. Protocols are to communication what algorithms or programming languages are to computations. [3] [4]

  8. Digital literacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_literacy

    It is a combination of both technical and cognitive abilities in using information and communication technologies to create, evaluate, and share information. [1] While digital literacy initially focused on digital skills and stand-alone computers, the advent of the internet and social media use has shifted some of its focus to mobile devices.

  9. Computer science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science

    Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation. [1] [2] [3] Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to applied disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software).
