This term refers to the ability of a system to perform a specific task, which may be a production step or operation. The term "adaptability" describes the different ways in which a system can be modified or adjusted to perform a task. There are three main types of adaptability: Reconfiguration: This involves activating a known production module or switching to a different tool to execute a task that has been executed before. In modular production systems, this may involve integrating a temporarily deactivated module or enabling plug and play capabilities. Adaptation: This refers to the ability of a system to perform a task that it has not performed before, but has the physical capability to do so. A solution must be found, often through a problem-solving or learning algorithm, that enables the system to execute the task. Adaptation with system extension: If the system does not have the physical capabilities to perform a task or lacks sufficient capability, an extension of the system may be necessary. This may involve adding a new module or enabling new capabilities through new tooling. It is important to distinguish between the different types of adaptation capabilities, as the scope of the adaptations and the tools required to achieve them vary widely.

Administration to Administration (A2A) refers to the exchange of information, data, or transactions between different public institutions or administrations. This can include electronic data interchange, document transmission, or conducting transactions between government agencies, authorities, or public organizations. The goal of A2A is to improve efficiency and collaboration between institutions by reducing manual effort and promoting automated exchange of information.

Administration to Business (A2B), also known as public institution tendering, is the process in which public institutions, such as government agencies, local governments, or public enterprises, request goods, services, or construction projects from private sector companies. In A2B, the public institution creates a tender that describes the specific requirements, performance characteristics, conditions, and criteria for the desired product or service. The tender is then publicly announced to attract as many potential bidders as possible. Private sector companies then have the opportunity to respond to the tender by submitting a proposal or application that outlines their capabilities, experience, and price proposals. The public institution reviews the received offers and selects the best provider that best meets the requirements.

Administration to Consumer (A2C), also known as job postings by employment agencies, refers to the process in which employment agencies or other public institutions directly target job postings to individual consumers. In the context of Administration to Consumer, the employment agency or public institution creates a list of available job postings that match the requirements and preferences of job seekers. These job postings are then published through various channels such as online platforms, job boards, local offices, or other media to attract the attention of potential applicants. Individual consumers then have the opportunity to respond to the job postings by submitting their applications or resumes to the employment agency or the specified contact person. The employment agency reviews the received applications and, if necessary, conducts selection processes to choose the most suitable candidates for the open positions.

Admission controllers are code that intercepts Kubernetes API server requests before object persistence. They are configurable and can be validating, mutating, or both. They can reject requests, and mutating controllers can modify objects while validating controllers cannot. The Kubernetes documentation has information on admission controllers.

Sophisticated techniques and tools are utilized in advanced analytics, which involve the independent or semi-independent analysis of data or content, exceeding the realm of conventional business intelligence (BI) and enabling the discovery of profound insights, prediction, or suggestion generation. Advanced analytic methodologies encompass data/text mining, machine learning, pattern matching, forecasting, visualization, semantic analysis, sentiment analysis, network and cluster analysis, multivariate statistics, graph analysis, simulation, complex event processing, and neural networks.

An advanced analytics workbench comprises a set of established tools and techniques that enable businesses to attain improved outcomes.

Advanced analytics solutions utilize data-driven tools and techniques to enable accurate prediction of future events and achieve improved business outcomes, along with providing real-time insights.

Advanced Visualization, also known as advanced visual representation, refers to interactive visual displays that assist in comprehending and communicating complex information and relationships. In contrast to simple dashboards, advanced visualizations offer the additional capability of interactively modifying the display, enabling a gradual analysis of various sub-questions. Furthermore, advanced visualizations typically incorporate coordinated multiple views, which allow interconnected aspects of the visualized data to be simultaneously presented and related to each other.

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has been developing the encryption standard Advanced EncryptionStandard (AES) in cooperation with industrial companies for years. This symmetric encryption is intended to replace DES encryption. The AES encryption specifies three different key lengths with 128, 192 and 256 bits. In the case of the 128-bit key, this means 3.4 x 10exp38 possibilities, with the 192-bit key there are 6.2 x 10exp57 possibilities, and with the 256-bit key there are even 1.1 x 10exp77 possibilities. For comparison, the 56-bit DES key offers 7.2 x 10exp16 possibilities.

A computing device equipped with the ability to detect and suitably respond to user emotions and other stimuli is what we refer to as affective computing. This capacity enables the device to gather emotional cues from various sources such as facial expressions, posture, gestures, speech, keystrokes force or rhythm, and even temperature changes of the user's hand on the mouse. All of these cues can signify changes in the user's emotional state, which can then be detected and interpreted by the computer. To accomplish this, a built-in camera captures images of the user, and algorithms are used to process the data into meaningful information. Besides, affective computing applications are exploring technologies such as speech recognition and gesture recognition.

Affinity in Kubernetes consists of rules that provide the scheduler with hints about pod placement. Node affinity and pod-to-pod affinity are the two types of affinity available. Rules are created using Kubernetes labels and selectors defined in pods, and they can be either required or preferred, depending on the level of enforcement desired.

The aggregation layer in Kubernetes allows the installation of additional Kubernetes-style APIs to the cluster. After configuring the API Server to support these APIs, APIService objects can be added to claim URL paths in the Kubernetes API.

Analytical databases (often referred to as data warehouses) belong to the class of relational databases. They are optimized for the OLAP25 application scenario, which is characterized by moderately large amounts of data26, extensive support for the SQL query language and a small to moderate number of users. Analytical databases are not new and are often used in conjunction with Hadoop for big data projects.

A database optimized for supporting business intelligence (BI) and analytical applications, usually incorporated in a data warehouse or data mart, is known as an analytic database. An analytic database, also referred to as an analytical database, is a system that is solely for read-only purposes, housing past data on various business metrics like inventory levels and sales performance. It enables business analysts, executives, and other employees to execute queries and generate reports. This database is routinely updated with the most recent transactional data from an organization's operational systems.
