	Transparency (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In human-computer interaction, computer transparency is an aspect of user friendliness which prevents the user from worrying about technical details (like installation, updating, downloading or device drivers).
		In computing and networking, a software that supports different logical actions through the same user or application interface is transparent.
		Transparency means that any form distributed system should hide its distributed nature from its users, appearing and functioning as a normal centralized system.

		Moreover, a scheme for mobile computing should be sufficiently flexible with respect to its capabilities of re-distributing the burden associated with supporting mobile computing between various entities within an internet.
		Performance transparency Performance transparency implies that an application doesn't change its performance characteristics as the segment the host running an application is in, changes its attachment points.
		A restricted case of performance transparency may be defined by requiring that an application doesn't change its performance characteristics as the segment the running application is in, changes its attachment points, provided that the subnetworks associated with the attachment points have comparable performance characteristics.

	Towards an information infrastructure for the grid
		For the promise of grid computing to be fulfilled, not only must we harness and virtualize multiple computing resources, but we must also abstract and hide the diversity and distribution of these various information sources to provide applications with a single, powerful virtual-information store for their virtual computer.
		This transparency protects the user from the details of how data are stored and accessed by the actual source systems, including the language or programming interface supported by the data source (and the dialect the source supports), how the data are physically stored, whether the data are partitioned, or the networking protocols used.
		This service can provide only limited transparency; typically, users would be aware of exactly what operating system they are using and maybe even what disk drive their file is on (think of Microsoft Windows**).

		The use of computers and information technology is bringing about dramatic changes in education, research, and the everyday conduct of university business, and we need to make sure that this technology is available to all members of the campus community equitably.
		We also recommend (III) that the campus develop computer and information literacy standards for all students and provide the necessary training so that all students will be able to meet these standards, and (IV) that all students be given a permanent computer account that will stay with them for their entire campus career.
		The principles of ubiquity, adaptability, transparency and accountability appear to be motivated by a desire to ensure that all members of UC Berkeley academic community are provided the opportunity to participate in the emerging era of electronic communication and information.

		Its purpose is to provide a worldwide system of shareable computing and storage resources that can together be brought to bear to solve the common problem of extracting physics results from about a Petabyte of measured and simulated data (c.2003).
		The goal of the system is to provide a large degree of transparency to the user who makes requests for datasets (collections) of relevant data and submits jobs that execute monte-carlo simulation, reconstruction or analysis programs on available computing resources.
		Transparency in storage and delivery of data is currently in a more advanced state than transparency in the submission of jobs.

	Referential transparency - Computing Reference - eLook.org (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		An expression E is referentially transparent if any subexpression and its value (the result of evaluating it) can be interchanged without changing the value of E. This is not the case if the value of an expression depends on global state which can change value.
		Referentially transparent programs are more amenable to formal methods and easier to reason about because the meaning of an expression depends only on the meaning of its subexpressions and not on the order of evaluation or side-effects of other expressions.
		We can stretch the concept of referential transparency to include input and output if we consider the whole program to be a function from its input to its output.

		PhD thesis, Computing Laboratory, University of Kent at Canterbury, University of Kent at Canterbury, Canterbury, Kent., March 1997.
		The best way to tackle this problem is to provide 'evolution transparency' to give the affected components the illusion that the service does not change.
		With a prototype implementation on ANSAware together with an analysis of its mechanism, the evolution transparency support proves useful; clients are given the flexibility to defer their own evolution, and type substitutability is also extended from syntactic to functional compatibility.

		Due to that, ubiquitous computing has become a major issue both for research and for application development.
		Ubiquitous computing opens up the perspective of total information availability in the information society -- in a short period of time the technical prerequisites seem to be available such that every person might receive any information at every location.
		Ubiquitous computing does not only open up the scope of being informed but also bears the danger to increase the problem of information overflow.

		Moreover, the administrator rarely have the luxury of fully controlling the processes running on these computers, and she has to wait on updating the system until the computers are all idle (perhaps having to wait for the users to give their permission).
		It is unrealistic to assume that the computers do not crash or become unavailable in a distributed system, nor is it practical to wait endlessly for the computers to become ready to be updated.
		The concept of transparency can be applied to various aspects of a distributed system: location transparency, migration transparency, replication transparency, concurrency transparency, and parallelism transparency.

	BSP wants transparency in computing credit card rates (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		THE Philippine central bank is set to issue next month a set of guidelines to banks and other groups engaged in the credit card business that will require issuers to detail their charges in compliance with the principle of truth in lending.
		This requirement, along with several others that seek more transparency and higher credit evaluation standards, will form part of new and tighter credit card guidelines, according to the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP).
		Once the guidelines are implemented, Espenilla said credit card holders must be able to compute for themselves the cost of their borrowing as the credit card issuer must detail the cost in a manner a regular client can understand.

	Is Transparency the Killer Virtue? \| Linux Journal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		In his memo (link above), Bill says, "Trustworthy Computing is computing that is as available, reliable and secure as electricity, water services and telephony." We should note that all those services are pure infrastructure whose workings are mostly transparent.
		By contrast, Apple has moved ahead of the curve by taking advantage of foundational transparencies everywhere it can find them: BSD (borrowed for Darwin, the open-source form of UNIX on which OS X is built), 802.11b, Jabber, ZeroConf, FireWire and everything else it can either create and share or borrow to help ubiquitize.
		I don't think that transparent quality of open source means much for enterprise use.
