Editorial Reviews

This reference is intended for those who need to find their way past the imposing barriers built of acronyms and abbreviations, which are often used as "normal" vocabulary in technical publications and other contexts. The scope encompasses computer and communication hardware and software, communication networks, the Internet and the World wide Web, and automatic control, as well as ICT-related techniques, solutions, products, process, and activities. Included along with technical terms are relevant organizations, conferences, symposia, and workshops. This new edition contains close to 35,000 terms; about 10,000 terms have been added, and those that have become obsolete have been deleted. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
