Abstract

The word: “computing”, which is traditionally understood as calculation, has been broadened to include “… automatic data processing, batch processing, data capture, data processing, data retrieval, electronic data processing, number crunching (colloq.), system analysis, system engineering.” (Anonymous 1986). All these activities are connected with the collecting, processing, and storing of information concerning systems.
