  2. End-user computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-user_computing

    End-user computing ( EUC) refers to systems in which non-programmers can create working applications. [1] EUC is a group of approaches to computing that aim to better integrate end users into the computing environment. These approaches attempt to realize the potential for high-end computing to perform problem-solving in a trustworthy manner.

  3. End-user development - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-user_development

    End-User Development can be defined as a set of methods, techniques, and tools that allow users of software systems, who are acting as non-professional software developers, at some point to create, modify or extend a software artifact. Ko et al. propose the following definition: [13]

  4. End user - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_user

    End user. In product development, an end user (sometimes end-user) [a] is a person who ultimately uses or is intended to ultimately use a product. [1] [2] [3] The end user stands in contrast to users who support or maintain the product, [4] such as sysops, system administrators, database administrators, [5] information technology (IT) experts ...

  5. Human–computer interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human–computer_interaction

    A computer monitor provides a visual interface between the machine and the user. Human–computer interaction ( HCI) is research in the design and the use of computer technology, which focuses on the interfaces between people ( users) and computers. HCI researchers observe the ways humans interact with computers and design technologies that ...

  6. User (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_(computing)

    t. e. A user is a person who utilizes a computer or network service. A user often has a user account and is identified to the system by a username (or user name ). [a] Some software products provide services to other systems and have no direct end users .

  7. Edge computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edge_computing

    Edge computing is a distributed computing model that brings computation and data storage closer to the sources of data. This often makes applications faster. [1] More broadly, it refers to any design that pushes computation physically closer to a user, so as to reduce the latency compared to when an application runs on a single data centre.

  8. History of personal computers - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_personal_computers

    The history of the personal computer as a mass-market consumer electronic device began with the microcomputer revolution of the 1970s. A personal computer is one intended for interactive individual use, as opposed to a mainframe computer where the end user's requests are filtered through operating staff, or a time-sharing system in which one large processor is shared by many individuals.

  9. Systems analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Systems_analysis

    t. e. Systems analysis is "the process of studying a procedure or business to identify its goal and purposes and create systems and procedures that will efficiently achieve them". Another view sees systems analysis as a problem-solving technique that breaks a system down into its component pieces and analyses how well those parts work and ...
