  2. Conway's law - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conway's_law

    An example of the impact of Conway's Law can be found in the design of some organization websites. Nigel Bevan stated in a 1997 paper, regarding usability issues in websites: "Organizations often produce web sites with a content and structure which mirrors the internal concerns of the organization rather than the needs of the users of the site ...

  3. Coupling (computer programming) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_(computer...

    Whether loosely or tightly coupled, a system's performance is often reduced by message and parameter creation, transmission, translation (e.g. marshaling) and message interpretation (which might be a reference to a string, array or data structure), which require less overhead than creating a complicated message such as a SOAP message. Longer ...

  4. Multiprocessing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiprocessing

    A Linux Beowulf cluster is an example of a loosely coupled system. Tightly coupled systems perform better and are physically smaller than loosely coupled systems, but have historically required greater initial investments and may depreciate rapidly; nodes in a loosely coupled system are usually inexpensive commodity computers and can be ...

  5. Crossword abbreviations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossword_abbreviations

    Taking this one stage further, the clue word can hint at the word or words to be abbreviated rather than giving the word itself. For example: "About" for C or CA (for "circa"), or RE. "Say" for EG, used to mean "for example". More obscure clue words of this variety include: "Model" for T, referring to the Model T.

  6. Loose coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loose_coupling

    In computing and systems design, a loosely coupled system is one in which components are weakly associated (have breakable relationships) with each other, and thus ...

    Additionally, the organization must both interpret the information and coordinate that information to "make it meaningful for the members of the organization and its goals." [ 12 ] In order to construct meaning from these messages in their environment, the organization must reduce equivocality, while committing to an interpretation of the ...

  9. Resonant inductive coupling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonant_inductive_coupling

    Ls and Lr are coupled by small coupling coefficient, k, usually below 0.2. Non-resonant coupled inductors, such as typical transformers, work on the principle of a primary coil generating a magnetic field and a secondary coil subtending as much as possible of that field so that the power passing through the secondary is as close as possible to ...
