Articles under development
There are the top-level articles under development for this course (more to be added):
Collaborative filtering [r]: The use of software algorithms for narrowing down a large set of choices by using collaboration among multiple agents, viewpoints, and data sources. [e]
(Group 2)
- Distributed version control [r]: Newer revision control systems for some of the most important open source projects (e.g., the Linux kernel, Qt, Ruby on Rails). [e]
(Group 5)
- HTML5 [r]: HTML5 is the next generation hypertext markup language standard published by the World Wide Web Consortium to provide new ways of presenting content on the World Wide Web that include transition effects, animation, video, and more. [e]
(Group 4)
Java concurrency package [r]: A library supporting threading and parallel programming in the Java programming language. [e]
(Group 1)
- Multi-touch_interface [r]: Set of interaction techniques which allow computer or mobile users to control graphical user interface with more than one finger at either application or system level. [e]
(Group 6)
- NoSQL [r]: A number of non-relational distributed database architectures, usually that store data as key-value pairs. [e]
(Group 8)
- Recommendation system [r]: A software program which attempts to narrow down selections for users based on their expressed preferences, past behavior, or other data which can be mined about the user. [e]
(Group 2)
- Semantic web [r]: Tim Berners-Lee's concept of a "web of knowledge", whereby web-based document contents would be annotated and classified so that computers can parse the classifications and provide search results based on the semantic information (what the content means), rather than simply on matching of text strings. [e]
(Group 9)
- Virtual server [r]: Instances of server software hosted simultaneously on a single computer along with other instances of the same, or different, server operating systems. [e]
(Group 3)
