This glossary contains the words people can use in a job related to Computer Science.
Algorithm
noun
A process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or other problem-solving operations, especially by a computer.
Example: Consideration of the User Interface e.g. 1 e.g. 2 e.g. 3 Outline a basic solution ALGORITHM Refining the ALGORITHM & pseudocode To describe a program, as its name indicates it, a basic ALGORITHM is a sort of a very simplified version of the complete program. Each step of the ALGORITHM may also contain some "sub-steps" or sub-sub-sub steps that need to be explained and refined.
fr: Algorithme
Artificial Intelligence
noun
a branch of computer science that enables machines and computer systems to simulate human intelligence, including learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and perception.
Example: The science of creating machines which can solve problems and reason like humans is usually referred to as ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
fr: Intelligence artificielle
Blockchain
noun
A blockchain is a decentralized, distributed, and public digital ledger used to record transactions across many computers, ensuring the data cannot be altered retroactively.
Example: In fully associative cache, a BLOCKCHAIN can be placed anywhere and is indexed by content.
fr: Blockchain
Cloud Computing
noun
Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.
Example: Since the CLOUD COMPUTING is not convective, as established by the stable atmospheric conditions and field observations, it must be formed by frontal mechanisms.
fr: nuage informatique
Cybersecurity
noun
the practice of protecting systems, networks, programs, devices, and data from digital attacks, unauthorized access, or damage.
Example: The government, corporations, and private citizens are all learning to put up defences against the threat of a CYBERSECURITY attack.
fr: cybersécurité
Database
noun
A structured set of data held in a computer, especially one that is accessible in various ways.
Example: If there are no items in the DATABASE, the program should just tell the user that there are no items available.
fr: Base de données
Encryption
noun
the process of converting information or data into a code, especially to prevent unauthorized access.
Example: The Web site is protected by SSL ENCRYPTION.
fr: Cryptage
Firewall
noun
a network security system—available in hardware or software form—that monitors, filters, and controls incoming and outgoing traffic based on established security rules.
Example: This is the place for a FIREWALL. FIREWALL is one of the ways to make our computer secure.
fr: Pare-feu
Java
noun
Java is a widely used, high-level, object-oriented programming language and platform
Example: Pixel shape was to be investigated using the graphics programming language OpenGL in conjunction with the language JAVA.
fr: Java
Machine Learning
noun
a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables systems to automatically learn, improve, and make predictions from data without being explicitly programmed.
Example: There are many advantages of neural networks such as MACHINE LEARNING, generalization, adaptation and fault tolerance.
fr: apprentissage automatique
Network
noun
group of interconnected devices—such as computers, servers, and, printers—that communicate with each other to share resources and exchange data.
Example: I recommend a detailed precedence NETWORK analysis combined should be conducted with a parallel resource allocation approach.
fr: Réseau
Operating System
noun
essential system software that acts as an interface between user applications and computer hardware, managing resources like the CPU, memory, and storage.
Example: Inside a closed document file there could be the author's name, their OPERATING SYSTEM, maybe even passages of text that were deleted [23]
.
fr: Système opérateur
Server
noun
A computer or computer program that manages access to a centralized resource or service in a network.

fr: Serveur
Source code
noun
Source code is the fundamental, human-readable set of instructions written by programmers in languages like Python, Java, or C++ to define how software functions.
Example: Stallman wanted to see software produced that was 'free' from restrictive licences agreements and protected from modification of its SOURCE CODE - not necessarily free from cost.
fr: Code source
Virtual Reality
noun
a computer-generated, 3D environment that simulates a realistic, interactive experience using headsets, controllers, and motion tracking.
Example: Most VIRTUAL REALITY environments are primarily visual experiences, displayed on a computer.
