BOUNDARY -is the border of an area or the limit-something that indicates or fixes a limit or extent CONSTRAIN -is a restriction or limitation -to hold back by -To keep within close bounds INTERFACE - is the place at which independent and often unrelated systems meet and act on or communicate with each other -The point of interaction or communication between a computer and any other entity, such as a printer or human operator. -The word was applied to other interactions as well—between departments in an organization, for example, or between fields of study. Shortly thereafter interface developed a use as a verb, but it never really caught on outside its niche in the computer world, where it still thrives. -a surface forming a common boundary of two bodies -the place at which independent and often unrelated systems meet and act on or communicate with each other INTERRELATIONSHIP -is to bring into mutual relation or to have mutual relationship -mutual or reciprocal relation or relatedness; "interrelationships of animal structure and function" -the greatest possible degree of something; "what he did was beyond the bounds of acceptable behavior"; "to the limit of his ability" ** they are different depending on their uses, or how it is applied. Do you find this valuable? |

Interfaces related to...computer science - the communication boundaries between two entities such as a piece of software or a user java - abstract types which are used in specifying these(interfaces) in the generic sense that classes must implement network - points of interconnection between user terminals and private or public networks human machine - people interact with the system(a particular machine, device, computer program or other complex tools) Boundary - encloses a space or an abstract concept It may also be related to... cricket - the border of the field in this sport topology - the set of points in the closure but not the interior of a subset of a topological space thermodynamic - the edge of this system across which heat, mass or work can flow landscape - the divide between areas of differing land use Constraints related to... mathematics - conditions that a solution to an optimization problem must satisfy information theory - refer to the degree of statistical dependence between or among variables Interrelationships - having relationships in which each person or thing depends on or is affected by the others Do you find this valuable? |

1. Boundary-the line or plane indicating the limit or extent of something 2.Constraints-Limiting or restraining conditions or factors such as policy considerations, time limitations, environmental factors, and budgetary and other resource limitations. 3.Interface-Method or piece of equipment for interconnecting units or systems which may not be directly compatible. 4.Interrelations- A logical or natural association between two or more things: connection, correlation, interconnection, interdependence, link, linkage, relation, relationship, tie-in. Informal hookup. Do you find this valuable? |
