  2. Work breakdown structure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Work_breakdown_structure

    A work-breakdown structure (WBS) [2] in project management and systems engineering is a deliverable -oriented breakdown of a project into smaller components. A work breakdown structure is a key project management element that organizes the team's work into manageable sections. The Project Management Body of Knowledge defines the work-breakdown ...

  3. Sewage treatment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sewage_treatment

    The term sewage treatment plant (STP) (or sewage treatment works) is nowadays often replaced with the term wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). [7] [8] Strictly speaking, the latter is a broader term that can also refer to industrial wastewater treatment. The terms water recycling center or water reclamation plants are also in use as synonyms.

  4. Spanning Tree Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanning_Tree_Protocol

    The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a network protocol that builds a loop-free logical topology for Ethernet networks. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results from them. Spanning tree also allows a network design to include backup links providing fault tolerance if an active link fails.

    Work (1) is the amount of effort applied to produce a deliverable or to accomplish a task, (2) is everything required or supplied to complete a construction project. Work breakdown structure (WBS) - a deliverable oriented decomposition of a project into smaller components. It defines and groups a project's discrete work elements in a way that ...

  8. Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_Spanning_Tree...

    The Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) and algorithm, provides both simple and full connectivity assigned to any given virtual LAN (VLAN) throughout a bridged local area network. MSTP uses bridge protocol data unit (BPDUs) to exchange information between spanning-tree compatible devices, to prevent loops in each Multiple Spanning Tree ...

  9. Waterfall model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Waterfall_model

    Waterfall model. The waterfall model is a breakdown of development activities into linear sequential phases, meaning they are passed down onto each other, where each phase depends on the deliverables of the previous one and corresponds to a specialization of tasks. [1] The approach is typical for certain areas of engineering design.
