1. ALGOL : Algorithimic Language is basically a portable for scientific computations and was first introduced with ALGOL 58.


2. ARTIFACTS : They are distortions in an image that are produced by the image sensors of the optical system.


3. AMBER : It is often referred as orange,in computer it is referred to indicate a temporary or ongoing error.


4. BIT : It is basic unit of computers .It has two values 1 & 0 only.


5. BYTE : Combination of 8 Bits.


6. BAND WIDTH : The total maximum capacity of network or modem connection. The modem band width is generally measured in BPS .


7. BROADBAND: It is also referred as wideband transmission. Broadband refers to telecommunication that provide a variety or channels of data over a single communication medium.


8. CDN : Content Distribution Network (CDN) is also known as mirroring. It consists of multiple sites around the world taht all contain the same information .

It is unnecessary because no single website can handle simultaneous requests from several hundred million users.

9. Bridge : It is a computer bridge which is a device to connect two local area networks (LAN).


10. Buffer : It is a memory which refers to temporary shortage of memory at the time of data processing.


11. CLUSTER : When referring to hard disk drive a cluster is a managed section by the computer operating system that change sizes depending upon the size of hard disk drive .


12. DATA BASE : It is general collection of data shared by a variety of users. In particular it has following features.
Redundancy of data is eliminated. This is an important point in.


13. DEBUGGING: It is a process of riding a computer programme of logical or syntactical errors.


14. DIGITAL ZOOM : It is a magnification of an image by internal image processing algorithm.


15. EBCDIC : Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code developed by IBM is a type of coding method.


16. ECHELON : It is a code name of a global spy system designed to capture and analyze virtually every phone call,fax, E-mail ,telex message.


17. EDGE: Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution is a radio based high speed mobile data standard. It allows the data transmission speeds upto 384 kbps to be achieved when all eight time slots are used.


18. FIREWALL : It is a software /hardware that limits outside network access to a computer or computer hardware that permanently resolve the issue.


19. GATE WAY : It refers to a network . A gateway is an address used as entry point.


20. GUI : Graphical User Interface uses icons and menus to carry out commands such as opening files ,delete files , move files etc..


21. NIBBLE : Combination of four bits .


22. PROTOCOL : It is also known as access method,it is a standard used to define a method of exchanging data over a computer network or through the internet.


23. RTOS : Real Time Operating System is an operating system that guarantees a certain capability with in a specified time constrained.


24. RATS /BACK DOORS : Remote Administration Tools is a method of controllilng remote machines using the IP Address.
