  2. Computer configuration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_configuration

    Computer configuration. In communications or computer systems, a configuration of a system refers to the arrangement of each of its functional units, according to their nature, number and chief characteristics. Often, configuration pertains to the choice of hardware, software, firmware, and documentation. Along with its architecture, the ...

  3. Configuration (geometry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_(geometry)

    The projective dual of a configuration (p γ ℓ π) is a (ℓ π p γ) configuration in which the roles of "point" and "line" are exchanged. Types of configurations therefore come in dual pairs, except when taking the dual results in an isomorphic configuration. These exceptions are called self-dual configurations and in such cases p = ℓ.

  4. Configuration management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_management

    Configuration management ( CM) is a systems engineering process for establishing and maintaining consistency of a product's performance, functional, and physical attributes with its requirements, design, and operational information throughout its life. [1] [2] The CM process is widely used by military engineering organizations to manage changes ...

  5. Configuration design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_design

    Configuration design is a kind of design where a fixed set of predefined components that can be interfaced (connected) in predefined ways is given, and an assembly (i.e. designed artifact) of components selected from this fixed set is sought that satisfies a set of requirements and obeys a set of constraints. The associated design configuration ...

  6. Network architecture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_architecture

    Network architecture. Network architecture is the design of a computer network. It is a framework for the specification of a network's physical components and their functional organization and configuration, its operational principles and procedures, as well as communication protocols used. In telecommunication, the specification of a network ...

  7. Configuration file - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_file

    Configuration files and operating systems Unix and Unix-like operating systems. Across Unix-like operating systems many different configuration-file formats exist, with each application or service potentially having a unique format, but there is a strong tradition of them being in human-editable plain text, and a simple key–value pair format is common.

  8. Configuration item - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Configuration_item

    The term configuration item ( CI) refers to the fundamental structural unit of a configuration management system. [1] Examples of CIs include individual hardware or software components. The configuration-management system oversees the life of the CIs through a combination of processes and tools by implementing and enabling the fundamental ...

  9. Generalized coordinates - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalized_coordinates

    t. e. In analytical mechanics, generalized coordinates are a set of parameters used to represent the state of a system in a configuration space. These parameters must uniquely define the configuration of the system relative to a reference state. [1] The generalized velocities are the time derivatives of the generalized coordinates of the system.
