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.
1. Physical equipment as opposed to programs, procedures, rules, and associated documentation. 2. The generic term dealing with physical items as distinguished from its capability or function such as equipment, tools, implements, instruments, devices, sets, fittings, trimmings, assemblies, subassemblies, components, and parts. The term is often used in regard to the stage of development, as in the passage of a device or component from the design stage into the hardware stage as the finished object. 3. In data automation, the physical equipment or devices forming a computer and peripheral components. 4. Physical equipment used in data processing as opposed to programs, procedures, rules, and associated documentation.

1. Pertaining to, or characteristic of, a computer program consisting of (a) many relatively small, simple programs (subroutines,) and (b) one monitor program, the function of which is to coordinate the exchange of data among the subroutines. Note: Subroutines designed under this concept may be stored in object libraries, and used by other computer programmers with similar functional requirements. 2. Pertaining to, or characteristic of, data to be processed by object-oriented programs. Note 1: Each data object in an object-oriented program may have multiple attributes associated with it. For example, if a data object were defined as a person, several appropriate attributes might be the person's birth date, social security number, and eye color. Note 2: The data and its attributes are considered as one object as they pass between subroutines. Note 3: Objects with similar attributes are considered as a particular class of objects. For example, "people" would be one class of objects and "automobiles" could be another, because the objects in the "automobiles" class are likely to have a completely different set of attributes associated with them.

1. Pertaining to the relationship of two or more repetitive signals that have simultaneous occurrences of significant instants. Note: "Isochronous" and "anisochronous" pertain to characteristics. "Synchronous" and "asynchronous" pertain to relationships. 2. Pertaining to synchronism.
Industry:Telecommunications
1. Pertaining to the delay introduced, by automated data processing, between the occurrence of an event and the use of the processed data, e.g., for display or feedback and control purposes. Note 1: For example, a near-real-time display depicts an event or situation as it existed at the current time less the processing time. Note 2: The distinction between near real time and real time is somewhat nebulous and must be defined for the situation at hand. 2. Pertaining to the timeliness of data or information which has been delayed by the time required for electronic communication and automatic data processing. This implies that there are no significant delays.
Industry:Telecommunications
1. Pertaining to packets that are delivered to the wrong network as the result of bogus routing entries. 2. A packet that has a completely bogus (nonregistered or ill-formed) Internet address.
Industry:Telecommunications
1. Pertaining to communication with a data processing facility from a remote location or facility through a data link. 2. A PABX service feature that allows a user at a remote location to access by telephone PABX features, such as access to wide area telephone service (WATS) lines. Note: For remote access, individual authorization codes are usually required.
Industry:Telecommunications
1. Pertaining to an arrangement or sequencing of networks, circuits, or links, in which the output terminals of one network, circuit, or link are connected directly to the input terminals of another network, circuit, or link. Note: For example, concatenated microwave links constitute a tandem connection. 2. A switching system in the message network that establishes trunk-to-trunk connections. Tandems may be further identified as local tandems, LATA tandems, or access tandems.
Industry:Telecommunications
1. Permission for a subject to access a particular object for a specific type of operation. Note: An example of an access right is the permission for a process to read a file but not write to it. 2. Authorization of access. Notes: A Access rights may be more or less explicit, both in the granularity of definition of subjects and objects used in implementing the security policy and in authorization of different types of access (eg read, write, execute,) Within a given context (for example within an Electronic Security Environment or a database) access rights exist insofar as they are not denied. See also: Need-to-Know, Least Privilege.
Industry:Telecommunications
1. Operations performed in converting encrypted messages to plain text without initial knowledge of the crypto-algorithm and/or key employed in the encryption. 2. The study of encrypted texts. 3. The analysis of a cryptographic system and/or its inputs and outputs to derive confidential variables and/or sensitive data including cleartext.
