Theories of urban planningPlanning theory is the body of scientific concepts, definitions, behavioral relationships, and assumptions that define the body of knowledge of urban planning. There are nine procedural theories of planning that remain the principal theories of planning procedure today: the Rational-Comprehensive approach, the Incremental approach, the Transformative Incremental (TI) approach, the Transactive approach, the Communicative approach, the Advocacy approach, the Equity approach, the Radical approach, and the Humanist or Phenomenological approach.
Target audienceA target audience is the intended audience or readership of a publication, advertisement, or other message catered specifically to said intended audience. In marketing and advertising, it is a particular group of consumer within the predetermined target market, identified as the targets or recipients for a particular advertisement or message. Businesses that have a wide target market will focus on a specific target audience for certain messages to send, such as The Body Shops Mother's Day advertisements, which were aimed at the children and spouses of women, rather than the whole market which would have included the women themselves.
Performance engineeringPerformance engineering encompasses the techniques applied during a systems development life cycle to ensure the non-functional requirements for performance (such as throughput, latency, or memory usage) will be met. It may be alternatively referred to as systems performance engineering within systems engineering, and software performance engineering or application performance engineering within software engineering.
Performances (informatique)En informatique, les performances énoncent les indications chiffrées mesurant les possibilités maximales ou optimales d'un matériel, d'un logiciel, d'un système ou d'un procédé technique pour exécuter une tâche donnée. Selon le contexte, les performances incluent les mesures suivantes : Un faible temps de réponse pour effectuer une tâche donnée Un débit élevé (vitesse d'exécution d'une tâche) L'efficience : faible utilisation des ressources informatiques : processeur, mémoire, stockage, réseau, consommation électrique, etc.
