| | Process (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In computing, a process is a running instance of a program, including all variables and other state. |  | | Once computer control software had evolved from Monitor control software, e.g., IBSYS, to Executive control software (by the early '60s, see History of operating systems), it was possible to do multiprogramming. |  | | Instead, the later computer 'monitor-type' control software (known by then also as 'Executive' systems), and early "operating systems," typically allowed execution of part of one program until it was halted by some missing resource (e.g., input), or until some slow operation (e.g., output) had completed. |

| | Modernizing Bridge Safety Inspection with Process Improvement & Mobile Computing |
 | | There are three classes of mobile computers making their presence known in the inspection field; 1) handheld computers, 2) wearable computers, and 3) pen-based tablet computers. |  | | Therefore in developing processes that encompass mobile computing tools, consideration must be given to a tool that minimizes using the inspector’s hands during both inspections and inputs. |  | | Because these computers have high storage capacity and high quality writing recognition, they are well suited for form-based electronic entry of field data, much as current bridge inspections are done. |
