`
`Advanced Digital Network
`
`Advanced Digital Network :1. A dedicated line ser-
`vice capable of transmitting data. video. and other
`digital signals with exceptional reliability. offered as
`a premier service by communications companies.
`Usually Advanced Digital Network refers to speeds
`at or above 56 kilobits per second (Kbps). See also
`dedicated line.
`
`Advanced Interactive Executive :1. See AIX.
`Advanced Mobile Phone Service in. See AMPS.
`
`Advanced Power Management in. An application
`programming interface developed by Microsoft and
`Intel to monitor and conserve power on a PC—based
`system, particularly a battery-pOWered laptop com-
`puter, by enabling programs to communicate their
`power requirements so that the system can route
`power away from unused hardware components.
`Acronym: APM. See also application programming
`interface.
`
`Advanced Program-to-Program Communication 1:.
`See APPC.
`
`Advanced Research Projects Agency Network it.

`
`Advanced RISC :1. Short for Advanced Reduced
`Instruction Set Computing. A specification for a
`RISC microchip architecture and system environ-
`ment designed by MIPS Computer Systems to pro—
`vide binary compatibility amoug software
`applications. See also RISC.
`Advanced RISC Computing Specification in. The
`minimum hardware requirements enabling a RISC-
`based system to comply with the Advanced Comput-
`ing Environment standard. See also Advanced RISC.
`Advanced SCSI Programming Interface :1. An inter-
`face specification developed by Adaptec. Inc., for
`sending commands to SCSI host adapters. The inter-
`face provides an abstraction layer that insulates the
`programmer from considerations of the particular
`host adapter used. Acronym: ASP]. See also adapter.

`
`Advanced Streaming Format n. An open file format
`specification for streaming multimedia files contain-
`ing text, graphics, sound, video. and animation. ASF
`does not define the format for any media streams
`within the file. Rather. it defines a standardized, ex»
`tensible file “container" that is not dependent on a
`particular operating system or communication proto-
`col. or on a particular method {such as HTML or
`
`
`
`MPEG-4) used to compose the data stream in the
`file. An ASF file consists of three objects: a Header
`object containing information about the file itself; a
`Data object containing the media streams; and an
`optional Index object that can help support random
`access to data within the file. The ASF specification
`has been submitted to the ISO (International Stan-
`dards Organization) for consideration. Acronym:
`ASF. See also streaming.
`

`which the player becomes a character in a narrative.
`In order to complete the game. the player must solve
`problems and avoid or overcome attacks and other
`forms of interference from the game‘s environment
`and other characters. The first adventure game was
`called "Adventure." It was developed in 1976 by Will
`Crowther of Bolt. Baranelr & Newman. See also role-
`playing game.
`AE n. Acronym for application entity. In the ISOr‘OSI
`reference model, one of the two software parties in-

`Computing in the United States (FOCUS) in 1990.
`AFK adv. Acronym for away from keyboard. A

`
`AGP n. Acronym for Accelerated Graphics Port. A
`high-performance bus specification designed for fast.
`high—quality display of 3-D and video images. Devel-
`oped by Intel Corporation, AGP uses a dedicated
`point—tOApoint connection between the graphics con«
`troller and main system memory. This connection
`enables AGP-capable display adapters and compat-
`ible chip sets to transfer video data directly between
`system memory and adapter memory. to display im—
`ages more quickly and smoothly than they can be
`diSplayed when the information must be transferred
`over the system‘s primary (PCI) bus. AGP also al—
`lows for storing complex image elements such as
`texture maps in system memory and thus reduces the
`need for large amounts of memory on the adapter
`itself. AGP runs at 66 MHz—twice as fast as the PCI
`bus—and can support data transfer speeds of up to
`533 Mb per second. See also PCI local bus.
`
`AI :1. See artificial intelligence.
`.aiff n. The file extension that identifies audio files in
`
`Ihe sound format originally used on Apple and Sili-
`con Graphics (SGI) computers.
`
`AlFF n. The sound format originally used on Apple
`and Silicon Graphics (SGI) computers. AlIFF stores
`waveform files in an 8-bit monaural format. See also
`waveform.
`
`ALX n. Acronym for Advanced Interactive Executive.
`A version of the UNIX operating system developed
`and maintained by IBM for its UNIX workstations
`and PCs.
`
`alarm a. A visual or auditory signal from a computer
`alerting the user to an error or hazardous situation.
`
`alert a. 1. In many operating systems with GUls
`(graphical user interfaces), an audible or visual alarm
`that signals an error or represents a warning of some
`sort. See also alert box. 2. In prograrruning. an asyn-
`chronous notification sent by one thread to another.
`
`The alert interrupts the recipient thread at defined
`points in its execution and causes it to execute an
`asynchronous procedure call. See also asynchronous
`procedure call, thread (definition 1).
`
`alert box :1. An on-screen box. in a GUI (graphical
`user interface), that is used to deliver a message or
`warning. Compare dialog box.
`
`ALGOL \al‘gal. al’géil\ n. Acronym for Algorithmic
`Language. The first structured procedural program-
`ming language. developed in the late 1950s and once
`widely used in Europe.
`
`algorithm :1. A finite sequence of steps for solving a
`logical or mathematical problem or performing a
`task.
`‘
`
`algorithmic language a. A programming language,
`such as Ada, Basic, C, or Pascal. that uses algorithms
`for problem solving.
`
`Algorithmic Language a. See ALGOL.
`
`alias rt. 1. An alternative label for some object, such
`as a file or data collection. 2. A name used to direct
`
`e-mail messages to a person or group of people on a
`network. 3. A false signal that results from the digiti—
`zation of an analog audio sample.
`
`aliasing n. In computer graphicsI the jagged appear—
`ance of curves or diagonal lines on a display screen,
`which is caused by low screen resolution. See the
`illustration.
`
`Alluring. The lower resolution oftlte image on the right
`reveals the aliasng efiect
`
`aliasing bug n. A class of subtle programming errors
`that can arise in code that performs dynamic alloca—
`tion. If several pointers address the same chunk of
`storage. the program may free the storage using one
`of the pointers, but then attempt to use another one
`(an alias). which would no longer be pointing to the
`desired data. This bug is avoidable by the use of allo-
`cation strategies that never use more than one copy
`of a pointer to allocated core memory, or by the use
`of higher-level languages. such as LISP. which em-
`ploy a garbage collection feature. Also called stale
`pointer bug. See also alias, dynamic allocation. gar—
`bage collection.
