Process data processing

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

As Data Processing (or process computer science ) is that portion of computer science that deals with the processes to monitor and control addresses of external devices. These can be, for example, control and measuring devices in airplanes, industrial robots , but also traffic lights or household appliances such as washing machines.

Process data processing usually requires high processing speeds and a high degree of specialization for the processes to be monitored.

Process data processing is often carried out by embedded systems because, thanks to their small size, they can be used directly in the devices to be controlled, thus minimizing signal transit times, among other things.

The subject of process data processing is the information technology processing of the data from technical processes, i. H. Processes that are used for the transformation, transport or storage of matter or energy. So the name does not come from the IT concept of the process as an executed program, and in addition to this, in contrast to conventional data processing, in which "office data" are mostly processed, the process data is about industrial systems.
