Herewith a collection of the most ill-defined terms in the computer business today. I’ve chosen them because in the last few months I’ve encountered at least two WILDLY incompatible uses of each one of them – often many more!
- policy
- virtualization
- agent
- edge
- web service
- solution
- service
- architecture
- SOA
Anyone like to suggest a few more? I’ll roll them into the top-level blog item as updates. By the way, I’m not suggesting that we stop using these terms, but I would like to see more judicious qualification and less universalization…
