Computing | The representation of physical systems and phenomena by computers, e. g. an imitative type of data processing in which an automatic computer is used as a model of some entity such as a chemical process. When information enters the computer to represent the factors of the process, the computer produces information that represents the results of the process. Source: European Union. (references) |
