Encyclopedia of Computer Science and Technology bridges the gap between scanty "computer glossaries" with brief definitions and dense multivolume compendiums geared to the scientific and engineering communities. It features more than 400 cross-referenced entries (each with its own further reading sources) that detail a topic's significance and development in computer science or technology and its relation other topics. To articulate the main themes of the reference and to aid the reader in managing time, the introduction features a complete listing of the entries grouped into specific categories, including fundamental ideas of computing, development of computers, computer architecture, personal computer components, computer languages, operating systems, software development and engineering, graphics and multimedia, and the World Wide Web.
The encyclopedia also includes four helpful appendixes - bibliographies and Web resources, a chronology of discoveries in computer science or technology, a selection of significant awards, and computer-related organizations - as well as an extensive index.
Encyclopedia of Compuier Science and Technology is an indispensable resource that will meet the specific demands of students, interested laypeople, and computer professionals who need accurate and straightforward information.
