A method of sharing data among IMS systems so that multiple application programs can access and update data concurrently between multiple IMS subsystems. See also database-level sharing, data sharing.
Industry:Software
A method of storing information on magneto-optic media using a laser and magnetic read/write heads. A laser is used to heat a small spot on the media that the write head alters magnetically. The ability to focus the laser tightly increases the data density over standard magnetic media. MO disks are erasable and rewritable.
Industry:Software
A method of tokenization that uses Unicode character properties to distinguish between token and separator characters.
Industry:Software
A method of transmitting many channels of data over a smaller number of physical connections by multiplexing the data into timeslots, and demultiplexing at the receiving end. In this document one such channel can be considered to be a half-duplex unidirectional stream of 64 kilobits per second.
Industry:Software
A method that is implemented entirely by using a subset of SQL statements and SQL PL statements. See also method, routine.
