  2. Transparency (human–computer interaction) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transparency_(human...

    The term transparent is widely used in computing marketing in substitution of the term invisible, since the term invisible has a bad connotation (usually seen as something that the user can't see, and has no control over) while the term transparent has a good connotation (usually associated with not hiding anything).

  3. Opaque data type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opaque_data_type

    In computer science, an opaque data type is a data type whose concrete data structure is not defined in an interface. This enforces information hiding, since its values can only be manipulated by calling subroutines that have access to the missing information. The concrete representation of the type is hidden from its users, and the visible ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithmic_transparency

    Current research around algorithmic transparency interested in both societal effects of accessing remote services running algorithms., [4] as well as mathematical and computer science approaches that can be used to achieve algorithmic transparency [5] In the United States, the Federal Trade Commission's Bureau of Consumer Protection studies how ...

  5. Referential transparency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referential_transparency

    In analytic philosophy and computer science, referential transparency and referential opacity are properties of linguistic constructions, [a] and by extension of languages. A linguistic construction is called referentially transparent when for any expression built from it, replacing a subexpression with another one that denotes the same value [b] does not change the value of the expression.

    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 ...

  7. Arrow (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_(computer_science)

    In computer science, arrows or bolts are a type class used in programming to describe computations in a pure and declarative fashion. First proposed by computer scientist John Hughes as a generalization of monads, arrows provide a referentially transparent way of expressing relationships between logical steps in a computation. [1]

  8. Process (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_(computing)

    While a computer program is a passive collection of instructions typically stored in a file on disk, a process is the execution of those instructions after being loaded from the disk into memory. Several processes may be associated with the same program; for example, opening up several instances of the same program often results in more than ...

    Through this process, open science has been increasingly structured over a consisting set of ethical principles: "novel open science practices have developed in tandem with novel organising forms of conducting and sharing research through open repositories, open physical labs, and transdisciplinary research platforms.
