Completely updated to cover new technology areas such as mobile and wireless technology and security issues, this new edition of the BCS Glossary remains THE source for ICT and Computing terminology.

The eleventh edition of this well-established authoritative glossary assumes no previous computing knowledge and uses simple language and numerous illustrations to guide and educate the reader.

The glossary explains over 3000 computing terms. Its unique structure links related terms together in such a way that the definitions are always placed in context to help understanding.

Includes over 40 detailed introductions to sections, illustrating how terms may be used in a written context and providing background information on each section.
