The ROM contains the control program and constant, and the RAM is used to store intermediate data generated during execution of the control function. The key feature of this system differentiating it from the classic computer applications is the presence of sensors and effectors as the input/output system.

DEF

A specification that documents the design of a system or system component; for example, a software configuration item. Typical contents include system or component algorithms, control logic, data structures, data set-use information, input/output formats, and interface descriptions.

CONT

A designer will try to understand a design problem that has been assigned to him by writing a design specification. The specifications relate to technical systems that do not exist at that time. Other specifications relate to existing systems, for instance manufacturing specifications, test specifications, operation specifications....

OBS

See also "requirements specifications".

OBS

As a rule when "specification" is used in the singular, the writer is referring to the document; when it is used in the plural, "specifications" means the statements included in the document.

OBS

Subject field(s)
  • Operating Systems (Software)
  • Storage Media (Data Processing)
CONT

Basically, CP/M [Control Program for Microcomputers] is divided into four parts BIOS [basic input/output system], BDOS, CCP [console command processor] and TPA [transient program area]. BDOS stands for basic disk-operating system. As the words imply, BDOS deals directly with the disks themselves. It may be thought of as a directory or guide to what is stored on the disks, and where. BDOS is your computer's electronic file clerk, organizing the information given it so that once it has been filed away on the disks, the computer can find it again when it is needed.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Systèmes d'exploitation (Logiciels)
  • Supports d'information (Informatique)
OBS

On retrouve le plus souvent l'acronyme anglais «BDOS» dans les textes français pour désigner cette notion.

Record 8 2002-01-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
CONT

The MCE is a set of specilized control equipment which controls the operation of the on-orbit Mobile Servicing System(MSS) external components and is physically installed into the United States On-orbit Segment(USOS). The Space Station will be equipped with two sets of MCE, operable from the U. S. Laboratory(USL). One set of MCE can be configured for Cupola operations by relocating the crew input and output devices to the Cupola(the core processing electronics will remain in the USL).

OBS

MSS control equipment; MCE: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

Record 9 1990-01-10

English

Subject field(s)
  • Artificial Intelligence
CONT

Just as the cell doctrine has proved central in biology, and germ theory is pivotal in the area of disease, so the concept of physical symbol system is deemed by Simon and Newell and their colleagues at Carnegie-Mellon as the core doctrine in the area of computer science. Proceeding in Boolean spirit, the job of the theorist is to identify that set of processes which operates on symbolic expressions in order to produce other expressions that create, modify, reproduce, and/or transform symbolic structures. A physical symbol system is necessary and sufficient to carry out intelligent actions; and, conversely, any system that exhibits general intelligence will prove upon analysis to be a physical symbol system. Such a system consists of a control, a memory, a set of operations, and input and output : its input consists of objects in certain locations; its processes are operations upon the input; its output is the modification or re-creation of objects in certain locations.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Intelligence artificielle
DEF

Jeu d'entités (formes physiques) qui peuvent se manifester comme composantes d'un autre type d'entité (expression, structure de symboles). A chaque instant, le système contient un assemblage de ces structures et un ensemble de processus pour produire d'autres structures par création, modification, reproduction ou élimination. Dans le temps, le système est une machine qui produit un assemblage évolutif de structures de symboles. Selon l'hypothèse fondamentale de l'intelligence artificielle (Newell et Simons), cet assemblage possède les moyens nécessaires et suffisants pour une action intelligente.
