Glossary

cAdvisor, short for Container Advisor, is a daemon that gathers information about running containers and provides users with insights into their resource usage and performance characteristics. It collects and processes data such as resource isolation parameters, historical usage, histograms, and network statistics for each container, and exports this data by container and machine-wide.

Also known as Higher Education Information Systems or Campus Management IT Systems. These IT systems are designed to support administrative and organizational processes throughout the student life cycle, such as the management of students, courses, and exams.

In a standardized skill ontology, capabilities refer to the specific requirements needed to execute a production step, also known as a BOP operation. These capabilities can be described in varying degrees of detail depending on the specific production step.

According to the ART4DCM-86 - DCM standard, the capacity of a supplier is defined in several ways. The "supplier capacity" refers to the amount of output that a supplier can realistically produce per calendar week and material for a particular customer, taking into account all factors that may affect this capacity. The "supplier maximum capacity," on the other hand, is the absolute maximum amount of output that a supplier can produce per calendar week and material for a specific customer. The difference between the supplier's maximum capacity and their actual capacity is known as the "supplier flex capacity," which represents the amount of flexible capacity that a supplier has available. Finally, the "contractual capacity" is the capacity that is agreed upon in a contract between the supplier and the customer for a specific period, typically converted to a weekly basis.

CAPEX, which stands for "capital expenditures," is an abbreviation used to describe investment spending on long-term assets such as machinery, buildings, initial equipment, replacement parts, and computer systems, among others. CAPEX is a crucial metric for a company's balance sheet. These expenditures increase the capitalized assets, which are depreciated over the long term.

A Capstone project is a culminating project that you undertake upon completing all the courses within a Specialization. These projects come in different formats and are intended to exhibit a high level of proficiency in the subject matter covered in the Specialization.

Higher-level term for various communication technologies in automotive engineering.

Car-sharing refers to the organized communal use of one or more automobiles. Unlike traditional car rentals, car-sharing also allows for short-term renting of vehicles.

LTE technology has a component that allows for the use of multiple frequency bands that are not necessarily adjacent. This feature enables mobile network operators to provide users with large bandwidths even when they only have fragmented frequency bands available.

The functionality of browsing, searching, and filtering services and resources is made possible through the implementation of a specific subclass of Service Offering known as Catalogue service.

An organized list of recommended data space building blocks by the DSSC, detailing the blocks and offering multiple implementation options.

Designates the category of a cable made of twisted copper wires for data transmission. Today, CAT-5 cables for frequencies up to 100 MHz are predominantly encountered. Together with the RJ-45 connectors, they make up the common Ethernet cables.

Assuming it is legally allowed across different jurisdictions, a central data hub obtains subscriptions to and combines data from multiple data lakes.

Data Intelligence Hub

The CPU, or Central Processing Unit, is the primary component of a computer. It is a microprocessor that monitors and manages all computing operations of the computer, stores results and intermediate results, and holds necessary data for computing operations. The CPU is responsible for executing data transfers as well as logical and arithmetic operations.

Certificates are files used to ensure secure access to the Kubernetes cluster. They enable applications in the cluster to securely access the Kubernetes API, verifying that clients have authorization to do so.

Assurance is the act of an independent body providing written confirmation that the relevant Participants, Assets, and Resources fulfill specific requirements.

Trusted third-party entity issuing digital certificates (e.g., x509 certificates); may host services to validate certificates issued

A party with the authority to generate, validate, distribute, and invalidate certificates for public keys.

The organization in charge of certifying components and entities that wish to join the International Data Spaces not only has the authority to approve or reject certification, but also bears the responsibility of managing the Certification Scheme, which includes a list of criteria, and supervising and endorsing Evaluation Facilities. Additionally, this organization must guarantee that the evaluation procedures conducted by these facilities are compatible.

Numerous ongoing projects are dedicated to creating a framework and catalogue that can be used to audit the trustworthiness of AI applications. The primary objective of this initiative is to establish measurable criteria for adherence to ethical principles such as human autonomy and control, fairness, privacy, and transparency, as well as security and safety.

The IDS Certification Scheme 2.0 (the most recent version) outlines the procedures, responsibilities, objectives, and benchmarks required for certifying components and entities, and is overseen by the Certification Body.

cgroup is a feature of the Linux kernel that enables the limitation, accounting, and isolation of resource usage, including CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network, for a set of processes known as a group.

The role of a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) involves serving as a senior executive responsible for supervising an organization's research and development (R&D) efforts and managing its technology-related needs. The CTO evaluates both the immediate and future requirements of the organization and strategically allocates resources to make investments that align with its objectives. Generally, the CTO directly reports to the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the company.

CIDR stands for Classless Inter-Domain Routing, which is a way of describing blocks of IP addresses in networking. In Kubernetes, each Node is assigned a range of IP addresses through CIDR notation, which consists of a start address and a subnet mask. This enables Nodes to assign each Pod a unique IP address. While CIDR was originally used for IPv4, it has also been expanded to include IPv6.

The CSD service (Circuit Switched Data) is a data transmission service available in GSM networks. This service operates on a circuit-switched network at a rate of 9.6 kbit/s and is distinguished by its low bit error rate, which is achieved through the use of special radio protocols and advanced error correction techniques. A flawless radio connection between the mobile phone or radio modem and the base station is essential for the CSD service to function without errors. Faulty radio connections can reduce the relatively low data rate and increase the likelihood of errors.

The circular economy model encompasses practices such as sharing, leasing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing, and recycling of already existing materials and products, with the objective of extending the life cycle of these products.

City hubs serve as central points for supplying retail and industrial companies in urban areas and are not dependent on freight forwarders or logistics service providers. They can be operated through the use of networked information and communication technology (ICT), which fills gaps in the mobility and logistics network, enabling dynamic delivery and pick-up routes.

CLAs, or Contributor License Agreements, are legal agreements that specify the terms under which a contributor is willing to contribute to an open source project. By signing a CLA, a contributor grants a license to the project for their contributions and helps to resolve any potential legal disputes related to the contributed material and intellectual property (IP).
