Topic: Module (computing)


In the News (Mon 21 Dec 09)

  
  Module - Computing Reference - eLook.org
Modules are usually compiled seperately (in compiled languages) and provide an abstraction or information hiding mechanism so that a module's implementation can be changed without requiring any change to other modules.
In this respect they are similar to objects in an object-oriented language, though a module may contain many procedures and/or functions which would correspond to many objects.
A module often has its own name space for identifiers so the same identifier may be used to mean different things in different modules.

 Faculty of Computing Sciences and Engineering
Four of the taught modules are common to both courses (the semester 1 modules, for full-time students).
The module is delivered through a programme of taught sessions and directed learning, which is completed immediately prior to the commencement of the taught course.
As well the specific topics covered on this module, students will also reinforce their understanding of fundamental programming techniques that are applicable to programming languages other than Java.

 Three-tier (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In computing, Three-tier is a client-server architecture in which the user interface, functional process logic ("business rules"), data storage and data access are developed and maintained as independent modules, most often on separate platforms.
Typically, the user interface runs on a desktop PC or workstation and uses a standard graphical user interface, functional process logic may consist of one or more separate modules running on a workstation server or application server, and an RDBMS on a database server or mainframe contains the data storage logic.
This article was originally based on material from the Free On-line Dictionary of Computing, which is licensed under the GFDL.

The module will provide students with an understanding of the practical techniques of problem solving (well-defined and ill-defined problems, and techniques available), giving an overview of the areas within computing where problem solving is appropriate and examples of applications within these areas.
The module assumes that those students taking the module are already familiar with at least one programming language but it is not intended solely for those who wish to specialise in systems or technical programming.
On successful completion of the module students will be able to design and implement simple graphic software and have an understanding of the various graphics hardware components, software libraries and standards which are of increasing relevance in the current and next generations of modern computer systems.
