SCALABILITY
The ability to easilyscale processingenvironments to meet rapidly growing demand and requirements.

SCALING
Theprocessof growing and developingdistributed applications, expanding and maximizing theirlifecycles, for the least possible amount of work, money, delays, and trouble, in trying to meet rapidly growing demand and requirements.

SCHEDULE
Period-based hierarchicalrelations, typically From anOwner Toabehavior resource.DNAOSschedules or time-basedresourcesrepresent the highest business priority resourceArchetype. Accordingly, they are typically modeled with aredbackground. DNAOS schedule resources support advancedschedulingandwork-flowpatterns. Mosttransaction documents, likeinvoicesandtimesheetsare also schedule or time-interval documents, reporting worked done for a period, for aparty.

SCHEDULING
Coordinating withschedule(s)

SCHEMA
A schema is a recursivemetamodel resource archetypedescribing a set ofmetadata rulesthat definemodelconstraints and a what is a valid (e.g. conforming) model. Conceptually, schema is a synonym for metamodel.

SECTION
ADNAOSrecursive content structure tag; common section classes include volume, chapter, page, group and many others; custom ones can be added as required.

SECURITY
Of the many dimensions and aspects of security,DNAOS security servicessupport:authentication,authorization,encryption, andentitlement, includingmembership,rightsandprivileges.

SECURITY CONTROLS
Securitycontrols are typically categorized along two axis: Realm (e.g. Administrative, Technical (e.g. logical), and Physical), and Type (e.g. Directive, Preventive, Deterrent, Detective, Corrective, Compensating, or Recovering).

SECURITY MANAGEMENT
Securitymanagement identifies and classifiesresource(e.g. organization, process) assets (e.g. sub-resources, contributing resources), analyzes and assesses related risk (e.g. threats, vulnerabilities, impacts, values), develops, implements, and documents related policies to mitigate (e.g. low impact and high probability) risk with effective controls (e.g. safeguards), transfer (e.g. insurance) high impact but low probability risk, avoid unnecessary (e.g. high impact, high probability) risk, and accept residual (e.g. low impact and low probability) risk with appropriate contingencies.

SECURITY POLICY
Securitypolicies typically integrate Regulatory Requirements and Best Practices in identifying and clarify security Goals and Objectives, that are used to derive security Standards, Baselines, Procedures, and Guidelines.

SECURITY SERVICES
The 4 mainsecurityservice types are:authentication,authorization,entitlement, andencryption.

SEMIFORMAL
Expressed in a restricted syntax language with defined semantics. See alsoFormal,Informal.

SENDMAIL
ADNAOS resourcefor group or mass email, holding the associated sender, receiver (to, cc, bcc)addresses, subject,message, and attachments.

SENTENCE
Alinguistic objectwhich expresses aproposition. A unit of logical text which is assigned a truth value in aninterpretation. [ISO TC97/SC5/WG3 TR 9007 (1982) and ISO/IEC 24707:2007(E) inspired]

SEPARATION OF CONCERNS
Anarchitecturaldesign and work pattern and approach applicable to most fields and aimed at providing each contributing specialist with an optimal context for his work, by separating processes and tools according to professional or specialized tasks and concerns. Separation of concerns, for example, allows programmers, graphic artists, authors, layout specialists, editors, and publishers to contribute together to build and publish a page ordocument, providing each with an optimal context for each specialized task, without interfering with each others work.

SEQUENCE
An ordered list structure.

SERVICE
A computing operation orprocessprovided for specific purpose(s) to a relatively general audience; thedistributedcomputing industry has recently adopted a service oriented architecture (SOA) as an optimal interconnection and exchange approach to distributedapplicationdesign, yet services have been around for some time, they also take many forms and, indeed, they provide a logical, simple approach to federate computer farms into efficientcollaborativeplatforms.

SERVICE BUS
Aserviceplatform resulting from service oriented design and supporting a service oriented architecture (SOA).

SERVICE PLATFORM
Typically built from aservice bus, theserviceplatform also provides many support services and tools for the environment, theapplications, the developers, theoperators, the administrators, etc.

SESSION
DNAOSsupport and manage sessions of various types, corresponding to the supportedstandard interfaces(ex:HTTP,SOA); DNAOS addentitlement, validation,control,monitor, record,statistics, and automated sessions to each standard's session properties

SIGNAL
A basic elementary non-descriptive communication instance. A primaryevent. Typically a simple acknowledgment, alarm, or trigger

SOA
Acronym forServiceOrientedArchitecture, a distributed environment interconnectionstandardbased on providing and using web services; SOA is also associated with SOAP, UDDI, WSDL, andBPELstandards.

SOLUTION
A integrated combination of hardware, software, andservicesfor resolving real-life computing problems, issues, andapplications.

SPECIAL
Ascheduled bundlewith adiscount.

SQL
Structuredquerylanguage; a relational data-based query language.

STANDARDS
Standards specify compatibility requirements.DNAOSsupported industry standards include:XSLT,XSL,XQuery,XPath,XML,xhtml, XForms, XCal, WSDL, VOIP, UML, UDDI, SSL, SSH,SQL, SOAP,SOA, SMTP,RSS, RMI, REST, RDF, POP, PDF, LDAP, IMAP,JSR-168, JSON, JSP,JMS,JINI, JDBC, JavaScript(ECMA),JavaSpaces,JavaMail,Java,J2EE, ISO8601,HTTP, HTML,CSS,BPEL,ATOM, Ajax, .NET.

STATEMENT
A statement is a simplesentencestating a semanticcommunicationelement.

STATISTICS
DNAOS workflowmanagementservicecan provide complete usage statistics for eachsession,user,application.

STREAM
A continuous information flow. Information resource streams often useXMLto carrymeta-datainformation along with content information. Richmedia(e.g. music, video) information is also typicallystreamedfor performance and flexibility. Information streams are typicallyprocessedthroughparallel transformation pipelines. See alsoXML Streaming.

STREAMING
A high performancework-flowpattern and process for generating informationresource streamsandprocessingthem in dynamicpipelines, without waiting for streams, datasets, or documents to end or arrive completely; see alsoXML Streaming.

STYLESHEET
A declarative program to organize, layout,transform, present information.

SUBJECT
Activeresources.Relationsources are typically referred to as subject (e.g.From) resources, while relation targets are typically referred to asobject(e.g.To) resources.

SUBSCRIPTION
Registered memberscan suscribe to activities including eNewsletters and emailnotifications.

SYNONYM
Differenttermthat refer to the sameresources. [ISO TC97/SC5/WG3 TR 9007 (1982)] inspired.

SYSTEM
Systems are compound (e.g. nested, aggregated)resourcesconsidered (andmodeled) primarily through their inner and outer functions, operations, interactions, processes, contributions, andbehaviors. System is amodeling projection perspective archetype.
