A Dictionary of Computer Science
Previously named A Dictionary of Computing, this
bestselling dictionary has been renamed A Dictionary of Computer Science, and
fully revised by a team of computer specialists, making it the most up-to-date
and authoritative guide to computing available. Containing over 6,500 entries
and with expanded coverage of multimedia, computer applications, networking,
and personal computer science, it is a comprehensive reference work
encompassing all aspects of the subject and is as valuable for home and office
users as it is indispensable for students of computer science. Terms are
defined in a jargon-free and concise manner with helpful examples where
relevant. The dictionary contains approximately 150 new entries including cloud
computing, cross-site scripting, iPad, semantic attack, smartphone, and virtual
learning environment. Recommended web links for many entries, accessible via
the Dictionary of Computer Science companion website, provide valuable further
information and the appendices include useful resources such as generic domain
names, file extensions, and the Greek alphabet. This dictionary is suitable for
anyone who uses computers, and is ideal for students of computer science and
the related fields of IT, maths, physics, media communications, electronic
engineering, and natural sciences.
