Gartner delivers technology research to global technology business leaders to make informed decisions on key initiatives.
Event-driven architecture (EDA) is a design paradigm in which a software component executes in response to receiving one or more event notifications. EDA is more loosely coupled than the client/server paradigm because the component that sends the notification doesn’t know the identity of the receiving components at the time of compiling.

Event management (as well as log management and fault management) tools are used to collect, report and help with diagnosis of problems (faults) identified in the environment. This segment also includes IT operations and administration “policy” software, which creates and manages lists of users (in cooperation with security and human resource management system products) and lists of the environment’s elements, determines appropriate access policies to those elements on a per-user or “role” basis, and audits adherence to those policies.
In cooperation with separate security products, event management/fault management products can recognize and trigger a response to breaches in security. Event management tools also collect statistics about events and usage, and they can perform historical trend analysis. System administrators can view analyzed data in near real time and use it to respond to conditions displayed, and to guide the reassigning of resources using separate configuration management (CM) tools.

Nonprofit enterprise whose mission is to produce the telecommunications standards that will be used throughout Europe. Standards developed by ETSI may be adopted by the European Commission as the technical base for directives or regulations. ETSI’s main task is to remove all deviations from global standards and to focus on a defined, European-specific set of requirements. ETSI also ensures interoperability among standards, such as Integrated Services Digital Network, GSM and Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS).
Successor to the EV-DO Rev. 0 standard that increases peak data downlink speed to 3.1 Mbps and peak upload speed to 1.8 Mbps, with reduced latency and QoS features that enable IP-based services, such as voice over IP (VoIP), PTT and video telephony.

Ethernet services deliver network connectivity over short- and long-haul circuits, and termination on fiber and copper local infrastructures. The Metro Ethernet Forum specifies three types of connections: E-Line, which is based on a point-to-point connection (more suited to WAN); E-LAN, which is based on a point-to-multipoint connection; and E-Tree, which is also based on point-to-multipoint connections with reduced provisioning schemes.

A baseband local-area network (LAN) originally developed by Xerox and supported by Intel, Digital Equipment (now Compaq Computer) and Hewlett-Packard. It has a bus topology with carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) access control. Ethernet is not identical to Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.3. Related terms include:
* Ethernet address: 48-bit code for Layer 2 networking maintained by the IEEE and hardwired into network adapters; also called MAC address.
* Ethernet, thick: Ethernet coaxial cable suitable for networks that are medium/large or with widely spaced nodes.
* Ethernet, thin: Ethernet coaxial cable suitable only for small networks with closely connected nodes.

An erasable paper printing system prints information on either treated or plain paper with the capacity to erase the information from the paper, or for the information to disappear from the paper after a certain period, allowing the paper to be reused quickly, simply and often.

E-procurement applications support indirect spending by giving casual users (i.e., employees who are not procurement professionals) a self-service solution for requisitioning and ordering goods and services. Although e-procurement solutions are geared toward indirect spending management by enabling individuals to initiate the requisition process and select purchases, they are occasionally configured for direct materials procurement, when plan-driven inventory replenishment isn’t practical.

Environmental health and safety (EH&S) applications applications are designed to help manufacturers manage employee health, reduce safety incidents, manage their environmental footprint and help to ensure operational continuity. The applications can be broadly divided into several categories: occupational health/industrial hygiene and incident management, product safety and compliance, health and safety applications, environmental monitoring and control and industrial operational risk management.

An entry-level smartphone is a mobile communications device that is closer to an enhanced phone in specification and usage, but because it runs on an open OS it is classified as a smartphone. The device’s primary focus is on voice communication.
Industry:Technology
This is the capability to resolve multiple labels for individuals, products or other noun classes of data into a single resolved entity, and analyze relationships among such resolved entities. Multiple references may result from data entry errors, inconsistency due to multiple systems for entering data, intentional falsification of information, or the creation of false identities. Entity resolution and analysis (ER&A) leverages many aspects of data integration, master data management (MDM) and data quality management, and eventually becomes instrumental in the success of each of these practices. Additionally, all four of these disciplines (that is, data integration, MDM, data quality management and ER&A) make up a significant portion of the implementation which takes place under enterprise information management.
