51Markov chain — A simple two state Markov chain. A Markov chain, named for Andrey Markov, is a mathematical system that undergoes transitions from one state to another, between a finite or countable number of possible states. It is a random process characterized …
52Automata-based programming (Shalyto's approach) — Automata Based Programming is a programming technology [1] . Its defining characteristic is the use of finite state machines to describe program behavior. The transition graphs of a state machines are used in all stages of software development… …
53Counter — This article is about the term counter used in electronics and computing. For other uses, see Counter (disambiguation). In digital logic and computing, a counter is a device which stores (and sometimes displays) the number of times a particular… …

55Adventure game — An adventure game is a type of video game characterized by investigation, exploration, puzzle solving, interaction with game characters, and a focus on narrative rather than reflex based challenges. The term originates from the 1970s game… …
56State (computer science) — In computer science and automata theory, a state is a unique configuration of information in a program or machine. It is a concept that occasionally extends into some forms of systems programming such as lexers and parsers. Whether the automaton… …
57Channel I/O — In computer science, channel I/O is a generic term that refers to a high performance input/output (I/O) architecture that is implemented in various forms on a number of computer architectures, especially on mainframe computers. In the past they… …
58Regular expression — In computing, a regular expression provides a concise and flexible means for matching (specifying and recognizing) strings of text, such as particular characters, words, or patterns of characters. Abbreviations for regular expression include… …
59Kahn process networks — ( KPNs , or process networks ) is a distributed model of computation ( MoC ) where a group of deterministic sequential processes are communicating through unbounded FIFO channels. The resulting process network exhibits deterministic behavior that …
60Numerically controlled oscillator — A numerically controlled oscillator (NCO) is a digital signal generator which creates a synchronous (i.e. clocked), discrete time, discrete valued representation of a waveform, usually sinusoidal.[1] NCOs are often used in conjunction with a… …
