information retrieval
recherche f de l'information

Information selection. Part of computing technology that allows for quick access to an organized data file. In the past, finding data took a long time, allowing the user to think and plan.
With immediate information selection these days, one has to plan the search path before starting, as pages of information appear quickly.

information systems
systems mpl informatiques

Information systems. A data communications system consisting of an independent computer network connected to other computer networks, whether local, remote, or between different countries. One of its great advantages is its ability to transfer data quickly between different locations using fiber optics and/or microwave relays. This system can be used to create integration between computer-aided design (CAD) in the office and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) in the factory.

Computer-controlled industrial processes
Computer-aided design
Integrated information services system
Robots production line
Audio-video e-mail conferences
Order documents, supply and delivery
Electronic data exchange

Examples: At Japanese automobile companies, a customer can choose a car seat from over 200 designs. The details are entered into a computer and passed to the factory where computers control the industrial processes and robots. The entire process, from design to delivery, can be completed in two hours.

Such computer-integrated systems can lead to completely customized products at mass production prices. A broadband information system can allow the transmission of voice, video (fax), data and e-mail. Most countries are working toward a fully integrated services digital network (ISDN) telephone system. Such systems herald what is called the "information society".

information technology (IT)
information technology

Information technology. Technology for producing, storing and communicating information using computers and microelectronics.

initialize
initialiser

Start. Setting the values ​​of variables at the beginning of the program to remove values ​​set in the previous execution.

For example: setting counters to zero or to their original set.

ink - jet printer
printer for jet d'encre

Inkjet printer A non-impact printer that uses a fine jet of fast-drying ink. The ink is ejected onto the paper and forms features wherever it is. The fine ink dots become charged when ejected by the jet and can then be shaped by a variable electric field. This printer can reach speeds of up to 200 features per second. One of the advantages of the device is that it is not limited to the number of metallic features that can be placed at the printing site. In addition, the program can control character sets and printing styles. It is also possible to print multiple languages ​​on the same printer. By adding more ink tubes, additional colors can be printed.

input device
entry device

Input device. A device that mediates between man and machine,
which enables both programs and data to enter the computer.

Examples include punched cards and punched tape. Also include light pens, keyboards, bar code readers, optical readers, or mark sense readers.

input/output (I/O)
entrée/sortie f

Input/output. Data or information that enters or exits the computer.

instruction
instruction f

A part of a computer program that tells the computer what to do next. For example: print PRINT, or add ADD.

instruction address register (IAR)
instruction address register

Instruction address register. This register stores the addresses of the instructions that the computer must execute. If you were to look inside a program, you would find that it contains the address of the next instruction to be executed.
