- Ergonomics
- The study of how machines can be made to fit humans better. One of the main conclusions of this research in the computer area is that individuals need to be able to adjust input (and output) devices to their own preferences.
- Dual-key encryption
- A method of encrypting a message that requires two keys: one to encrypt and one to decrypt. One of the keys is a public key that is available to anyone. The other key is private and must never be revealed to other people. RSA is a popular dual-key encryption system. Dual-key systems can also be used to authenticate the users.
- Enterprise network
- A network that connects multiple subnetworks across an entire firm. Often, the networks use different protocols and different computer types, which complicates transmitting messages.
- Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
- An integrated computer system running on top of a DBMS. It is designed to collect and organized data from all operations in an organization. Existing systems are strong in accounting, purchasing, and HRM.
- Dynamic integration
- A means of linking data from multiple documents. One compound document (or container) can hold data objects created by other software. As the original data is changed, it is automatically updated in the container document. See also Static integration.
- Encryption
- A method of modifying the original information according to some code, so that it can only be read if the user knows the decryption key. It is used to safely transmit data between computers.
- End-user development
- Managers and workers are to develop their own small systems using database management systems, spreadsheets, and other high-level tools.
- Electronic data interchange (EDI)
- Exchanging transaction data with entities outside the control of your firm. Private connections can be established directly between two firms. Public networks are also being formed where one provider collects data and routes it to the appropriate client.
- Electronic mail, or messages that are transmitted from one computer user to another. Networks transfer messages between the computers. Users can send or retrieve messages at any time. The computer holds the message until the recipient checks in.
- EBCDIC: Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code
- A method of numbering characters so they can be processed by machines. Used exclusively by large IBM and compatible computers. See also ASCII.
- Dynamic data exchange
- An early method of linking data from multiple sources with the Windows operating system. The software packages literally send messages to other software packages, which enables them to combine and update data. See also dynamic integration and Object Linking and Embedding (OLE).
