Anti-Virus Program |
| A computer
program made to discover and destroy all types of computer viruses. |
|
| Apache |
An open
source web server. Mostly for Unix, Linux and Solaris platforms. |
|
| The most
common web server (or HTTP server) software on the Internet. Apache
is an open-source application originally created from a series of
changes ("patches") made to a web server written at the
National Center for Supercomputing Applications, the same place the
Mosaic web browser was created. |
|
| Apache is
designed as a set of modules, enabling administrators to choose which
features they wish to use and making it easy to add features to meet
specific needs including handling protocols other than the web-standard
HTTP. |
|
| API
(Application Programming Interface) |
| An interface
for letting a program communicate with another program. In web terms:
An interface for letting web browsers or web servers communicate with
other programs. (See also Active-X and Plug-In). |

| Applet |
| A small
Java program that can be embedded in an HTML page. Applets differ
from full-fledged Java applications in that they are not allowed to
access certain resources on the local computer, such as files and
serial devices (modems, printers, etc.), and are prohibited from communicating
with most other computers across a network. The common rule is that
an applet can only make an Internet connection to the computer from
which the applet was sent. |
|
| Application
Server |
| A Server
software that manages one or more other pieces of software in a way
that makes the managed software available over a network, usually
to a Web server. By having a piece of software manage other software
packages it is possible to use resources like memory and database
access more efficiently than if each of the managed packages responded
directly to requests. |
|
| Also called
an appserver. A program that handles all application operations between
users and an organization's backend business applications or databases.
Application servers are typically used for complex transaction-based
applications. To support high-end needs, an application server has
to have built-in redundancy, monitors for high-availability, high-performance
distributed application services and support for complex database
access. |
|
| ARPANet
(Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) |
| The precursor
to the Internet. Developed in the late 60's and early 70's by the
US Department of Defense as an experiment in wide-area-networking
to connect together computers that were each running different system
so that people at one location could use computing resources from
another location. |
