| | Transparency (computing) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | In computing and networking, a software that supports different logical actions through the same user or application interface is transparent. | | | In object-oriented programming, transparency is facilitated through the use of interfaces or header files with different implementations. | | | Migration transparency - Users should not be aware of whether a resource or computing entity possesses the ability to move to a different physical or logical location. |

| | A transparent latch is an electronic data storage device with a data input (D), an enable input (E) and a data output (Q). | | | In computer programming, a referentially transparent function is one that, given the same parameter(s), it always returns the same result. | | | While in mathematics all functions are referentially transparent, in programming this is not always the case. |

| | Referential transparency - Computing Reference - eLook.org |
| | Referentially transparent programs are more amenable to formal methods and easier to reason about because the meaning of an expression depends only on the meaning of its subexpressions and not on the order of evaluation or side-effects of other expressions. | | | We can stretch the concept of referential transparency to include input and output if we consider the whole program to be a function from its input to its output. | | | The program as a whole is referentially transparent because it will always produce the same output when given the same input. |

| | Towards an information infrastructure for the grid |
| | For the promise of grid computing to be fulfilled, not only must we harness and virtualize multiple computing resources, but we must also abstract and hide the diversity and distribution of these various information sources to provide applications with a single, powerful virtual-information store for their virtual computer. | | | The analysis would be both computation- and data-intensive, but the data and computation would be dynamically distributed among multiple nodes on a grid. | | | This transparency protects the user from the details of how data are stored and accessed by the actual source systems, including the language or programming interface supported by the data source (and the dialect the source supports), how the data are physically stored, whether the data are partitioned, or the networking protocols used. |

| | Is Transparency the Killer Virtue? Linux Journal |
| | In his memo (link above), Bill says, "Trustworthy Computing is computing that is as available, reliable and secure as electricity, water services and telephony." We should note that all those services are pure infrastructure whose workings are mostly transparent. | | | Opacity may be a virtue of commercial software and drive its value, but ultimately it disqualifies that software as deep infrastructure. | | | As ESR demonstrated in The Magic Cauldron, it does not make economical sense to open-source non-commodity software (such as applications) and therefore it is likely that transparency of software will not matter much to business. |
