Gartner delivers technology research to global technology business leaders to make informed decisions on key initiatives.
OMA-defined specification for the delivery of PTT walkie-talkie services over a packet radio network, typically GPRS.
Industry:Technology
Software that automates the delivery of information to users. In contrast, the Web is a “pull” environment that requires a user to seek information.
In a “push” environment, information is sent to a person proactively, through a Web browser, e-mail, or even voice mail or a pager. In business, push technology can be used for the conveyance of time-sensitive information, like changes in commodity pricing or the introduction of promotional programs to a sales force. Enterprises can employ push technology to communicate externally with their clients or internally with their employees over a network.
Industry:Technology
A method of encoding information based on variations of the duration of carrier pulses. Also called pulse duration modulation (PDM).
Industry:Technology
A digital technique that involves sampling an analog signal at regular intervals and coding the measured amplitude into a series of binary values, which are transmitted by modulation of a pulsed, or intermittent, carrier. It is the standard technique in telecommunications transmission.
Industry:Technology
The encoding of information in a signal based on the fluctuation of carrier waves. The amplitude of the pulse carrier is varied in accordance with successive samples of the modulating signal.
Industry:Technology
Also called “follow-me printing,” pull printing allows for a print job to be sent to a pull-printing server, which delivers the print job to the printer. This frees up the user’s computer for other tasks and reduces network traffic. Word-processing documents and even Web pages (referred to as Web pull printing) can be pull-printed without having the file opened on the user’s computer. The user sends the document’s location to the pull-printing server for processing.
Industry:Technology
All activities being undertaken within the lean enterprise according to and at the rate of the actual demand requirements of the end consumer.
Industry:Technology
Processes that acquire or receive messages from source applications and publish these messages on a systemwide bulletin board or, in alternative terminology, put them on a software bus where all other processes can “see” them. Application processes generally indicate which messages they are interested in by supplying one or more rules to the integration broker (IB). Also described as a software bus architecture.
Industry:Technology
A communication pattern in which information sources “publish” (i.e., send) information to a somewhat intelligent middleware infrastructure, and information consumers “subscribe” by specifying what kind of information they want to receive from the infrastructure. The middleware must be able to physically transport messages from one or more publishers to one or more subscribers. It also must be smart enough to find the proper destinations by matching each message to subscription criteria. This model naturally supports one-to-many or many-to-many communication — in contrast to either message passing or message queuing, both of which mostly (but not entirely) aim at one-to-one communication.
