  2. Process (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    The process state is changed back to "waiting" when the process no longer needs to wait (in a blocked state). Once the process finishes execution, or is terminated by the operating system, it is no longer needed. The process is removed instantly or is moved to the "terminated" state. When removed, it just waits to be removed from main memory ...

  3. Function model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_model

    In systems engineering, software engineering, and computer science, a function model or functional model is a structured representation of the functions (activities, actions, processes, operations) within the modeled system or subject area. [1] Example of a function model of the process of "Maintain Reparable Spares" in IDEF0 notation.

  4. Stream processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stream_processing

    In computer science, stream processing (also known as event stream processing, data stream processing, or distributed stream processing) is a programming paradigm which views streams, or sequences of events in time, as the central input and output objects of computation.

  5. Function (computer programming) - Wikipedia

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

    A function definition starts with the name of the type of value that it returns or void to indicate that it does not return a value. This is followed by the function name, formal arguments in parentheses, and body lines in braces. In C++, a function declared in a class (as non-static) is called a member function or method.

  6. Task (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    A unit of work representing one of the steps in a process. A unit of work to be accomplished by a device or process. A process and the procedures that run the process. A set of actions designed to achieve a particular result. A task is performed on a set of targets on a specific schedule. A unit of computation.

  7. Process management (computing) - Wikipedia

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

    First, assume that a user process wishes to invoke a particular target system function. For the system call approach, the user process uses the trap instruction. The idea is that the system call should appear to be an ordinary procedure call to the application program; the OS provides a library of user functions with names corresponding to each ...

  8. Computational statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_statistics

    Computational statistics, or statistical computing, is the study which is the intersection of statistics and computer science, and refers to the statistical methods that are enabled by using computational methods. It is the area of computational science (or scientific computing) specific to the mathematical science of statistics. This area is ...

  9. Data processing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_processing

    In science and engineering, the terms data processing and information systems are considered too broad, and the term data processing is typically used for the initial stage followed by a data analysis in the second stage of the overall data handling.
