Company Profile:
Sun Microsystems is a multinational vendor of computers, computer software and hardware, and information technology services.
In a bus-connected multiprocessor system, processes or threads communicate through a global memory shared by all processors. This shared data segment is placed in the address space of the cooperating processes between their private data and stack segments. Subsequent tasks spawned by fork() copy all but the shared data segment in their address space. Shared memory requires program language extensions and library routines to support the model.
Industry:Computer
A deployable unit that consists of one or more Web components, other resources, and a Web application deployment descriptor contained in a hierarchy of directories and files in a standard Web application format.
Industry:Computer
If the total function applied to the data can be divided into distinct processing phases, different portions of data can flow along from phase to phase; such as a compiler with phases for lexical analysis, parsing, type checking, code generation and so on. As soon as the first program or module has passed the lexical analysis phase, it can be passed on to the parsing phase while the lexical analyzer starts on the second program or module. See also array processing, vector processing.
Industry:Computer
A deployable unit that consists of one or more enterprise beans and an EJB deployment descriptor.
Industry:Computer
Hosts and manages distributed logic and supports services, such as: high performance data access, transaction management, distribution state and session management, request brokering, dynamic load balancing and fault tolerance. The application server is frequently viewed as part of a n-tier architecture, consisting of a web server, application server, integration server and database server, etc.

Generic term for parts of the AC input, circuit breaker and filter in the power supply.
Industry:Computer
A declarative way to annotate the intended protection of Web content. A security constraint consists of a Web resource collection, an authorization constraint, and a user data constraint.
Industry:Computer
Generating the code needed to process a well-defined portion of XML data.
Industry:Computer
A database-inspired method for specifying constraints on XML documents using an XML-based language. Schemas address deficiencies in DTDs, such as the inability to put constraints on the kinds of data that can occur in a particular field. Because schemas are founded on XML, they are hierarchical. Thus it is easier to create an unambiguous specification, and it is possible to determine the scope over which a comment is meant to apply.
