Sometimes referred to as “Big Blue” IBM is a multinational corporation headquartered in Armonk, New York. It manufactures computer hardware and software and provides information technology and services.
(1) In object-oriented programming, a special method used to initialize an object.<br />(2) A special C++ class member function that has the same name as the class and is used to create an object of that class.<br />(3) An XQuery expression that creates XML structures within a query. See also computed constructor, constructor function, direct constructor.
Industry:Software
(1) An object that represents a stable configuration for one or more components. A baseline identifies activities and one version of every element that is visible in one or more components.<br />(2) A reviewed and approved release of artifacts that constitutes an agreed basis for further evolution or development and that can be changed only through a formal procedure, such as change management and configuration control. See also release.<br />(3) A snapshot of the approved project plan and budget, used for comparison purposes as a project progresses.<br />(4) A snapshot of a configuration item (CI) or a set of configuration items (CIs) frozen at a point in time for a particular purpose. A baseline will often be recorded to ensure that the infrastructure can be restored to a trusted state should a change fail or the CI need to be built again. A baseline will also be established for the roll out of new CIs and for use in a disaster recovery situation.
Industry:Software
(1) In object-oriented programming, an operation that an object can perform. An object can have many methods. See also operation.<br />(2) In object-oriented design or programming, the software that implements the behavior specified by an operation.<br />(3) See member function.<br />(4) In Java programming, a function that is defined in a class. (Sun)<br />(5) A database object that encapsulates procedural logic to provide behavior for a structured type. A method can be implemented as an SQL method or an external method. See also structured type, external method, SQL method, routine.<br />(6) A way to implement a function on a class.
Industry:Software
(1) An object that supports an asynchronous notification server within a single Java virtual machine. Using an event source, the event listener object can be registered and used to implement any interface.<br />(2) An application that uses an event emitter to send events to the event server. See also event server, event emitter.
Industry:Software
(1) In object-oriented programming, pertaining to a class member that is accessible to all classes.<br />(2) In the Java programming language, pertains to a method or variable that can be accessed by elements residing in other classes. (Sun)
Industry:Software
(1) An object that the system program uses to store the information needed to perform some system functions. Internal objects cannot be displayed by a user. For example, you cannot use a display command (like the Display Library (DSPLIB) command) to display internal objects. See also external object.<br />(2) A structured field that can be included as part of a resource or a print job (data set or file), but that cannot be accessed separately.
Industry:Software
(1) In object-oriented programming, state information associated with an object.<br />(2) A type of performance data that consists of response times that are collected every time the transaction is detected. See also hourly average data.
Industry:Software
(1) An object whose state can be preserved beyond the ending of the process that created it. Typically, persistent objects are stored in files.<br />(2) An object that exists after the process or thread that created it has ceased to exist.
Industry:Software
(1) In Open System Interface (OSI), a multipart hierarchical name that can be used to identify OSI objects globally. The distinguished name of an object is formed from the sequence of its relative distinguished names (RDNs) and the name of its superior object.<br />(2) The name that uniquely identifies an entry in a directory. A distinguished name is made up of attribute:value pairs, separated by commas.<br />(3) A set of name-value pairs (such as CN=person's name and C=country or region) that uniquely identifies an entity in a digital certificate.
Industry:Software
(1) A string of repeated, adjacent characters or symbols. See also run-length encoding.<br />(2) To cause a program, utility, or other machine function to be performed.
