Architecture and Engineering - 2019
questions and answers
abstraction - correct answer The act of representing essential features while hiding the details to reduce
complexity.
address space - correct answer The portion of computer primary memory to which a program or set of
programs has access, as determined by the underlying hardware.
Agile design - correct answer A design process that emphasizes early delivery of simple functionality,
significant interaction with customers through feedback, and continuous improvement through quick
releases of incremental upgrades.
aging off - correct answer In the context of a speedup cache, aging off is the process of replacing data
that has not been accessed for some specified period with new, more recently accessed data.
checkpoint - correct answer The process of storing a set of data or system state that is in a known
consistent or safe state so that it can be later restored by a rollback operation if the system fails or the
data is corrupted. See also safe state
rollback. - correct answer
complexity - correct answer Refers to the inherent difficulty in accomplishing a computational task such
as sorting a list or establishing the trustworthiness of an entire system.
cybersecurity architecture - correct answer The structured composition of cybersecurity mechanisms
and services to assuredly achieve an overarching set of cybersecurity requirements.
