| computing device | dispositivo de computação (A piece of equipment that is used for running programs) |
| distributed computing | computação distribuída (A form of information processing in which work is performed by separate computers linked through a communications network. Distributed processing is usually categorized as either plain distributed processing or true distributed processing. Plain distributed processing shares the workload among computers that can communicate with one another. True distributed processing has separate computers perform different tasks in such a way that their combined work can contribute to a larger goal. The latter type of processing requires a highly structured environment that allows hardware and software to communicate, share resources, and exchange information freely) |
| Distributed Computing Environment | Distributed Computing Environment (A set of standards from the Open Group (formerly the Open Software Foundation) for development of distributed applications that can operate on more than one platform. One of two types of hardware connected by an RS-232-C serial connection, the other being a Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) device. A DCE is an intermediary device that often transforms input from a DTE before sending it to a recipient. A modem, for example, is a DCE that modulates data from a microcomputer (DTE) and sends it along a telephone connection) |
| pay-as-you-go computing | computação pré-paga (A model in which a solution provider offers a computer to the customer for a low initial payment, and the customer adds time to the computer by purchasing blocks of computer usage time. Once an agreed-upon amount of usage time is purchased, the customer has unlimited access to the computer and no longer needs to pay for computer usage time) |
| Prepaid Computing Essentials | Informações gerais sobre computação pré-paga (A printed card that includes important information about using and getting support for prepaid computing. A Prepaid Computing Essentials card is included with each new prepaid computer) |
| social computing | informática social (An area of computer science concerned with creating or recreating social conventions and social contexts online through the use of software and technology) |
| subscription computing | computação por assinatura (An approach in which telephone and internet service providers offer PCs to their customers, who then have the ability to pay for them over time through their monthly bill) |
| Trusted Computing Group | Trusted Computing Group (The organization that sets standards for Trusted Platform Module (TPM) use and interface) |
