Sometimes referred to as “Big Blue” IBM is a multinational corporation headquartered in Armonk, New York. It manufactures computer hardware and software and provides information technology and services.
(1) A mechanism by which a secure proxy data channel can be established between two computers.<br />(2) A client/server architecture that transports TCP/IP traffic through a secure gateway. A SOCKS server performs many of the same services that a proxy server does.
Industry:Software
(1) A mechanism for connecting two unlike parts or machines, or for electrically or physically connecting a device to a computer or to another device.<br />(2) A set of software modules that communicate with an integration broker and with applications or technologies to perform tasks such as executing application logic and exchanging data.<br />(3) A transparent, intermediary software component that allows two other software components to communicate with one another.
Industry:Software
(1) A mechanism for describing and constraining the content of XML files by indicating which elements are allowed and in which combinations. XML schemas are an alternative to document type definitions (DTDs) and can be used to extend functionality in the areas of data typing, inheritance, and presentation.<br />(2) A means for defining the structure, content, and semantics of XML documents as defined by a World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) recommendation.
Industry:Software
(1) A mechanism on a pointing device, such as a mouse, used to request or start an action.<br />(2) A graphic that executes an action when clicked.
Industry:Software
(1) A mechanism that can be used to create new data types. A UDT can extend the capabilities of the built-in data types and capture the unique semantics of user data.<br />(2) See distinct type.
Industry:Software
(1) A mechanism that is used to synchronise one or more jobs.<br />(2) An indicator used to control access to a file. For example, in a multiuser application, a semaphore is a flag that prevents simultaneous access to a file.<br />(3) In UNIX systems, a general method of communication between two processes that extends the features of signals.<br />(4) An object used by multi-threaded applications for signalling purposes and for controlling access to serially reusable resources. Processes can be locked to a resource with semaphores if the processes follow certain programming conventions.
Industry:Software
(1) A media access method that monitors another station's transmissions. If the data station detects another signal during transmission, it stops transmitting, sends a jam signal, then waits for a variable time before trying again.<br />(2) A class of medium access procedures that allows multiple stations to access the medium at will, without explicit prior coordination, and avoids contention by way of carrier sense and deference. Contention is resolved by way of collision detection and transmission.
Industry:Software
(1) A member file in an object library.<br />(2) A file that contains compiled code.
Industry:Software
(1) A character string that specifies the properties and property values for a query. You can create the query string in an application and pass it to the query.<br />(2) An input parameter that specifies the statistical data to be retrieved.
Industry:Software
(1) A member of a set of similar programmes or packages and, in DB2 for z/OS, similar DBRMs or LOBs.<br />(2) A separately licenced programme that usually has significant new code or new function.<br />(3) An object that implements a particular revision of an element. The versions of an element are organised into a version tree structure. See also checked-out version.
