Business process model and notationBusiness Process Model and Notation (BPMN en anglais), c'est-à-dire « modèle de procédé d'affaire et notation », est une méthode de modélisation de processus d'affaires pour décrire les chaînes de valeur et les activités métier d'une organisation sous forme d'une représentation graphique. Elle constitue la norme internationale . BPMN a été développé au départ par la Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI), et est maintenu par l'Object Management Group (OMG) depuis la fusion de ces deux Consortium en juin 2005.
Business requirementsBusiness requirements, also known as stakeholder requirements specifications (StRS), describe the characteristics of a proposed system from the viewpoint of the system's end user like a CONOPS. Products, systems, software, and processes are ways of how to deliver, satisfy, or meet business requirements. Consequently, business requirements are often discussed in the context of developing or procuring software or other systems. Three main reasons for such discussions: A common practice is to refer to objectives, or expected benefits, as 'business requirements.
Exigence (ingénierie)Une est, dans le domaine de l'ingénierie, un besoin, une nécessité, une attente auquel un produit ou un service doit répondre ou une contrainte qu'il doit satisfaire. L'exigence peut être exprimée par une partie prenante (utilisateur, client, commercial, analyste de marchés, gestionnaire de produits, etc.) ou déterminée par les processus d'ingénierie et en particulier les activités d'études. L'approche commune à tous les domaines d'ingénierie est de définir les besoins, d'envisager des solutions, et de livrer la solution la plus appropriée.
Software requirements specificationA software requirements specification (SRS) is a description of a software system to be developed. It is modeled after the business requirements specification (CONOPS). The software requirements specification lays out functional and non-functional requirements, and it may include a set of use cases that describe user interactions that the software must provide to the user for perfect interaction.
Requirements engineeringRequirements engineering (RE) is the process of defining, documenting, and maintaining requirements in the engineering design process. It is a common role in systems engineering and software engineering. The first use of the term requirements engineering was probably in 1964 in the conference paper "Maintenance, Maintainability, and System Requirements Engineering", but it did not come into general use until the late 1990s with the publication of an IEEE Computer Society tutorial in March 1997 and the establishment of a conference series on requirements engineering that has evolved into the International Requirements Engineering Conference.
Non-functional requirementIn systems engineering and requirements engineering, a non-functional requirement (NFR) is a requirement that specifies criteria that can be used to judge the operation of a system, rather than specific behaviours. They are contrasted with functional requirements that define specific behavior or functions. The plan for implementing functional requirements is detailed in the system design. The plan for implementing non-functional requirements is detailed in the system architecture, because they are usually architecturally significant requirements.
Timestamp-based concurrency controlIn computer science, a timestamp-based concurrency control algorithm is a non-lock concurrency control method. It is used in some databases to safely handle transactions, using timestamps. Every timestamp value is unique and accurately represents an instant in time. A higher-valued timestamp occurs later in time than a lower-valued timestamp. A number of different ways have been used to generate timestamp Use the value of the system's clock at the start of a transaction as the timestamp.
Exécution (informatique)En informatique, l'exécution est le processus par lequel un ordinateur ou une machine virtuelle met en œuvre les instructions d'un programme. Les instructions du programme entraînent des séquences d'actions élémentaires sur la machine d'exécution. Les effets qu'entraînent ces actions sont conformes à la sémantique des instructions du programme. Un programme en cours d'exécution est appelé un processus. L’exécution symbolique permet d'explorer les chemins d'exécution possibles d'un programme informatique à partir des symboles contenus dans son code source.
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.
Concurrency (computer science)In computer science, concurrency is the ability of different parts or units of a program, algorithm, or problem to be executed out-of-order or in partial order, without affecting the outcome. This allows for parallel execution of the concurrent units, which can significantly improve overall speed of the execution in multi-processor and multi-core systems. In more technical terms, concurrency refers to the decomposability of a program, algorithm, or problem into order-independent or partially-ordered components or units of computation.
