  2. Computer simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_simulation

    Computer simulation is the process of mathematical modelling, performed on a computer, which is designed to predict the behaviour of, or the outcome of, a real-world or physical system. The reliability of some mathematical models can be determined by comparing their results to the real-world outcomes they aim to predict.

  3. Digital data - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_data

    The actual precise time is analog data. Digital data, in information theory and information systems, is information represented as a string of discrete symbols, each of which can take on one of only a finite number of values from some alphabet, such as letters or digits. An example is a text document, which consists of a string of alphanumeric ...

  4. Digital twin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_twin

    A digital twin is a digital model of an intended or actual real-world physical product, system, or process (a physical twin) that serves as the effectively indistinguishable digital counterpart of it for practical purposes, such as simulation, integration, testing, monitoring, and maintenance. [1] [2] [3] The digital twin is the underlying ...

  5. Digital elevation model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_elevation_model

    A digital elevation model ( DEM) or digital surface model ( DSM) is a 3D computer graphics representation of elevation data to represent terrain or overlaying objects, commonly of a planet, moon, or asteroid. A "global DEM" refers to a discrete global grid. DEMs are used often in geographic information systems (GIS), and are the most common ...

  6. Digitization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digitization

    Digitization. Digitization [1] is the process of converting information into a digital (i.e. computer-readable) format. [2] The result is the representation of an object, image, sound, document, or signal (usually an analog signal) obtained by generating a series of numbers that describe a discrete set of points or samples. [3]

  7. Data communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_communication

    Data communication. Data communication, including data transmission and data reception, is the transfer of data, transmitted and received over a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication channel. Examples of such channels are copper wires, optical fibers, wireless communication using radio spectrum, storage media and computer buses.

  8. Digital footprint - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_footprint

    Active digital footprints are deliberate, as they are posted or shared information willingly. They can also be stored in a variety of ways depending on the situation. A digital footprint can be stored when a user logs into a site and makes a post or change; the registered name is connected to the edit in an online environment. Examples of ...

  9. Plant-based digital data storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant-based_digital_data...

    Plant-based digital data storage is a futuristic view that proposes storing digital data in plants and seeds. [1] [2] The first practical implication showed the possibility of using plants as storage media for digital data. New approaches for data archiving are required due to the constant increase in digital data production and the lack of a ...
