Synopsis

This dictionary brings together entries in several areas of information technology, information systems and computer science. It covers the core areas of data processing, including applications to office equipment, telecommunications, broadcasting, printing and publishing, and computer integrated manufacturing. There is a wide range of technical definitions from the base technologies of integrated circuits to sophisticated items like optical disks. Also listed are key programming terms, concepts from data processing and systems development, and newer technologies such as optical filing and document image processing. The book provides clear and simple definitions of a number of key terms which are then related to the more complex concepts that occur elsewhere in the text.
