This document contains an alphabetically arranged glossary of common computer
related terms. There is further information on many of the concepts introduced
here available in other ACCC Documents.
Please see also internet.com's PC
Webopedia for a wealth of information about most anything to do with personal
computing, FYI
18/RFC 1983: Internet Users' Glossary for additional Internet and computer
communications related terms, The
World Wide Web Acronym and Abbreviation Server for the obvious, and the
IBM HELP
Glossary of Computer Related Terms for an astonishing glossary with the
emphasis on IBM and CMS related terms. There's more, too, see the list in Acronyms,
Glossaries, and Dictionaries.
[Editor's Note: As a means of sharing information, the ACCC
exchanges newsletters with many other colleges, universities and research
institutions. Many of the definitions in this glossary are adapted from
articles published in these outside newsletters. Too many of these resources
have been used to cite each one individually, but without the information
they contain, this glossary would be very much less complete. Their collective
input is gratefully acknowledged. Also, Internetworking Terms and Acronyms,
a small book produced and distributed by Cisco Systems, Inc., was used
as the source of the definitions of a number of the networking terms, and
Webster's New World Dictionary of Computer Terms was used to check
or clarify many additional definitions.]
