Glossary

(ISO) To design, write, and test programs.

(ISO) A sequence of instructions suitable for processing. Processing may include the use of an assembler, a compiler, an interpreter, or another translator to prepare the program for execution. The instructions may include statements and necessary declarations.

(IEEE) A specification language with special constructs and, sometimes, verification protocols, used to develop, analyze, and document a program design.

Project manager in large information technology projects.

(IEEE) A computer program that has been purposely altered from the intended version to evaluate the ability of program test cases to detect the alteration.

Use of pre-packaged supplies across multiple protocols managed by Interactive Response Technology and unique label content.

A programmable logic chip.

A programmable logic chip.

A logic chip that is programmed at the user's site.

A chip which may be programmed by using a PROM programming device. It can be programmed only once. It cannot be erased and reprogrammed. Each of its bit locations is a fusible link. An unprogrammed PROM has all links closed establishing a known state of each bit. Programming the chip consists of sending an electrical current of a specified size through each link which is to be changed to the alternate state. This causes the "fuse to blow", opening that link.

(IEEE) A language used to express computer programs.

(FDA) Written procedures describing coding (programming) style conventions, specifying rules governing the use of individual constructs provided by the programming language, and naming, formatting, and documentation requirements which prevent programming errors, control complexity and promote understandability of the source code.

(IEEE) Analysis to ensure that all portions of the program follow approved programming guidelines.

A mechanical grinding procedure where a coarse grit material is used first and the successive operations use finer and finer grit until the desired surface roughness is achieved.

These are drugs with toxicity or side-effects that outweigh their therapeutic usefulness, so that public health and welfare are protected by prohibiting their production, manufacture, export, import, trade, distribution, supply, possession or use, except in amounts required for medical and scientific research. Prohibited drugs are normally determined by the national or supranational registration/licensing authority.

Document that succinctly encapsulates the headlines of a project.

Control activities used to monitor, report and control cost, schedule, documentation and engineering changes - projects.

Overall project summary that includes an introduction, business case, general project information, organizational chart, roles, responsibilities, project governance, critical issues, procurement and contracting strategy, commissioning and qualification, and handover strategy.

Project manager in large capital engineering projects.

A written plan for the project manager to communicate to the user and other stakeholders the approach to be taken for project execution.

Commencement of activities that begin to define a project.

Project manager for a research and development type project (or Product Leader).
