ATIS is the leading technical planning and standards development organization committed to the rapid development of global, market-driven standards for the information, entertainment and communications industry.
A sequence of contiguous bits (usually 8) considered as a unit. Note: In pre-1970 literature, "byte" referred to a variable-length bit string. Since that time, the usage has changed so that now it almost always refers to an 8-bit string. This usage predominates in computer and data transmission literature; when so used, the term is synonymous with "octet. "
Industry:Telecommunications
A sequence of data elements, such as bits or characters, considered as a whole.
Industry:Telecommunications
A sequence of digitally encoded signals used to represent information in transmission.
Industry:Telecommunications
A sequence of events used to disconnect a call and return to the ready state. 2. Removal of data from an information system (IS,) its storage devices, and other peripheral devices with storage capacity, in such a way that the data may not be reconstructed using common system capabilities (i.e., keyboard strokes); however, the data may be reconstructed using laboratory methods. Cleared media may be reused at the same classification level or at a higher level. Overwriting is one method of clearing.
Industry:Telecommunications
A sequence of instructions together with any associated data necessary to perform a call.
Industry:Telecommunications
A sequence of microinstructions that are in special storage where they can be dynamically accessed to perform various functions.
Industry:Telecommunications
A sequence of microinstructions that is fixed in storage that is not program-addressable, and that performs specific processing functions.
Industry:Telecommunications
A sequence of operations in which operations are executed out of time coincidence with any event. 2. An operation that occurs without a regular or predictable time relationship to a specified event; e.g., the calling of an error diagnostic routine that may receive control at any time during the execution of a computer program. Synonym asynchronous working.
Industry:Telecommunications
A sequence of operations that is performed to reset a previously running system, after an unintentional shutdown. Synonym warm start. 2. In computer operations, the restarting of equipment, after a sudden shutdown, that allows reuse of previously retained initialized input data, retained programs, and retained output queues. Note 1: A warm restart may be needed after a program failure. Note 2: A warm start or restart cannot occur if initial data, programs, and files are not retained after closedown. Synonyms hot boot, warm boot.
