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 ...
In addition to standardizing the understanding of Configuration Management (CM), EIA-649 provides a rational basis upon which to apply good judgment in both planning for and executing CM across the enterprise. The knowledge contained in EIA-649 is intended to assist in establishing, performing, and/or evaluating CM systems.
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 ...
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 ...
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.
STANAG 4427 is NATO’s agreement on how to do configuration management on defense systems. Edition 1 was originally promulgated in 1997 and updated with Edition 2 in 2007. The first iteration of the Standardization Agreement was entitled Introduction of Allied Configuration Management Publications (ACMPs), and it called on ratifying nations to ...
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.
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 ...
