Cache:
Cache memory is a small area of very fast RAM used to speed exchange of
data.
CAD (Computer-Aided Design ):
The application of information technology to elements of the design
process for manufactured, assembled, and constructed products, covering both drafting
applications (in the creation, modification, storage, and production of engineering and
other technical drawings) and modeling (the generation and use of full three-dimensional
models).
CAE (Computer-Aided Engineering):
The application of information technology to elements of the design and
engineering process. It includes all types of performance systems, e.g., heat transfer,
structural, electromagnetic, aeronautics, and acoustic analysis.
CALS (Continuous Acquisition and Life-cycle Support):
CALS is a global strategy to further enterprise integration through the
streamlining of business processes and the application of standards and technologies for
the development, management, exchange, and use of business and technical information.
CAM (Computer-Aided Manufacturing):
The application of information technology to the control and management
of manufacturing processes, normally restricted to the control of machine tools such as
lathes and mills, where the tool is directly controlled by a computer.
CASE (Computer-Aided Software Engineering):
CASE is an umbrella term for a collection of tools and techniques which
are said by their distributors to promise revolutionary gains in analyst and programmer
productivity. The two prominent delivered technologies are application generators and
PC-based workstations that provide graphics-oriented automation of the front end of the
development process.
CE (Concurrent Engineering):
A systematic approach to creating a product design that considers all
elements of the product life cycle from conception of the design to disposal of the
product, and in so doing defines the product, its manufacturing processes, and all other
required life cycle processes such as logistic support.
