For other terms and definitions, see the IBM Terminology website. Numerics 31-bit storage addressing An addressing structure introduced with the MVS/XA operating system that supports addressing up to 2 GB of real and virtual memory, in addition to the prior support for 24-bit addressing.

ABR See area border router. abstract syntax A data specification that includes all distinctions that are needed in data transmissions, but that omits (abstracts) other details such as those that depend on specific computer architectures. See also Abstract Syntax Notation One, Basic Encoding Rules. Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN.1) 1. The international standard for defining the syntax of information data. It defines a number of simple data types and specifies a notation for referencing these types and for specifying values of these types. The ASN.1 notations can be applied whenever it is necessary to define the © Copyright IBM Corporation 2013 © IBM Corporation 2000, 2013 1 abstract syntax of information without constraining in any way how the information is encoded for transmission.

MULTIMEDIA- The literal meaning of multimedia. Multi − it means more than one Medium − it is singular and it means intermediary or mean Media − it is plural and it means conveying the information Likewise, Multimedia is the field of Computer Science that integrates different forms of information and represents in the form of audio, video, and animation along with the traditional media, i.e., text, graphics/drawings, images, etc. MULTIMEDIA COMPONENTS- Following are the major components of a multimedia computer system − Text- It contains alphanumeric and some other special characters. Keyboard is usually used for input of text; however, there are some internal (inbuilt) features to include such text. Graphics- It is technology to generate, represent, process, manipulate, and display pictures. It is one of the most important components of multimedia application. The development of graphics is supported by a different software. Animation- Computer animation is a modern technology, which helps in creating, developing, sequencing, and displaying a set of images (technically known as ‘frames’). Animation gives visual effects or motion very similar to that of a video file (see image given below). Audio- This technology records, synthesizes, and plays audio (sound).
