  2. Systems modeling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_modeling

    Systems modeling or system modeling is the interdisciplinary study of the use of models to conceptualize and construct systems in business and IT development. [2] A common type of systems modeling is function modeling, with specific techniques such as the Functional Flow Block Diagram and IDEF0. These models can be extended using functional ...

  3. Network throughput - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_throughput

    Network throughput (or just throughput, when in context) refers to the rate of message delivery over a communication channel, such as Ethernet or packet radio, in a communication network. The data that these messages contain may be delivered over physical or logical links, or through network nodes. Throughput is usually measured in bits per ...

  4. Discrete-event simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete-event_simulation

    A discrete-event simulation (DES) models the operation of a system as a (discrete) sequence of events in time. Each event occurs at a particular instant in time and marks a change of state in the system. [1] Between consecutive events, no change in the system is assumed to occur; thus the simulation time can directly jump to the occurrence time ...

  5. Systems engineering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_engineering

    Product Systems Engineering (PSE) is the traditional systems engineering focused on the design of physical systems consisting of hardware and software. Enterprise Systems Engineering (ESE) pertains to the view of enterprises, that is, organizations or combinations of organizations, as systems. Service Systems Engineering (SSE) has to do with ...

  6. Computer-aided manufacturing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-aided_manufacturing

    Computer-aided manufacturing. CAD model and CNC machined part. Computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) also known as computer-aided modeling or computer-aided machining[1][2][3] is the use of software to control machine tools in the manufacturing of work pieces. [4][5][6][7][8] This is not the only definition for CAM, but it is the most common. [4]

  7. Computer science - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_science

    Computer science is the study of computation, information, and automation. [1][2][3] Computer science spans theoretical disciplines (such as algorithms, theory of computation, and information theory) to applied disciplines (including the design and implementation of hardware and software). [4][5][6] Algorithms and data structures are central to ...

  8. Computer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer

    A computer is a machine that can be programmed to automatically carry out sequences of arithmetic or logical operations (computation). Modern digital electronic computers can perform generic sets of operations known as programs. These programs enable computers to perform a wide range of tasks. The term computer system may refer to a nominally ...

  9. Desktop environment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment

    Desktop environment. In computing, a desktop environment (DE) is an implementation of the desktop metaphor made of a bundle of programs running on top of a computer operating system that share a common graphical user interface (GUI), sometimes described as a graphical shell. The desktop environment was seen mostly on personal computers until ...
