The specification describes a method of loading various multiboot Kernel computer science kernels using a single compliant boot loader . GNU Hurd , VMware ESXi, Xen , and L4 microkernel family L4 microkernels all need to be Booting booted using this method. GNU GRUB is the reference implementation used in the GNU operating system .

Algebraic specification seeks to systematically develop more efficient programs by formally defining data type types of data , and mathematical operations on those data types abstracting implementation details, such as the size of representations in memory and the efficiency of obtaining outcome of computations formalizing the computations and operations on data types allowing for automation by formally restricting operations to this limited set of behaviors and data types. An algebraic specification achieves these goals by defining one or more data types, and specifying a collection of functions that operate on those data types. These functions can be divided into two classes Constructor object oriented programming constructor functions functions that create or initialize the data elements, or construct complex elements from simpler ones Method computer programming additional functions functions that operate on the data types, and are defined in terms of the constructor functions. Example Consider a formal algebraic specification for the Boolean data type boolean data type. One possible algebraic specification may provide ... to yield the value true.

Orphan date November 2006 Process specification is a generic term for the specification of a process. Its context is not unique to business activity but can be applied to any organizational activity. Within some structured methods, the capitalized term Process Specification refers to a description of the Procedure term procedure to be followed by an actor within an elementary level business activity, as represented on a process model such as a dataflow diagram or IDEF0 model. A common alias is minispec short for miniature specification. Use in systems development The process specification defines what must be done in order to transform inputs into outputs. It is a detailed set of instructions outlining a business procedure that each elementary level business activity is expected to carry out. Process specifications are commonly included as an integral component of a requirements document in systems development. Techniques There are a variety of approaches that can be used to produce a process specification including decision tables structured English favored technique of most systems analysts pre post conditions use cases , basic course or events alternate paths in use cases flowcharts .

Image Specification UML v2.png right thumb 300px Specification Pattern in Unified Modeling Language UML In computer programming, the specification pattern is a particular software design pattern , whereby business rules can be recombined by chaining the business rules together using boolean logic. A specification pattern outlines a business rule that is combinable with other business rules. In this pattern, a unit of business logic inherits its functionality from the abstract aggregate Composite Specification class. The Composite Specification class has one function called IsSatisfiedBy that returns a boolean value. After instantiation, the specification is chained with other specifications, making new specifications easily maintainable, yet highly customizable business logic. Furthermore upon instantiation the business logic may, through method invocation or inversion of control , have its state altered in order to become a delegate of other classes such as a persistence repository.

Version 1.1 of the specification was released on April 11, 1994. Version 1.4 of the specification was released on July 1, 1995, which added extended configuration tables to improve support for multiple PCI bus configurations and improve expandability. The MP specification covers Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller APIC architectures. The Linux kernel and FreeBSD are known to support the Intel MP Specification.

It is the most traditional kind of specification, having been used historically in public contracting for buildings, highways, and other public works, and represents the kind of thinking in which architects and engineers have been trained. Its use is called for where a structure or product has to be specially made to meet a unique need.

In regression analysis and related fields such as econometrics , specification is the process of converting a theory into a regression model. This process consists of selecting an appropriate function mathematics functional form for the model and choosing which variables to include. Model specification is one of the first steps in regression analysis. If an estimated model is misspecified, it will be biased and inconsistent. ref Lee, Cheng Few Lee, John C. Lee, Alice C. Statistics for Business and Financial Economics. World Scientific Publishing Company. 2nd edition. December 1999 . p 718. ref Specification error and bias Specification error occurs when an independent variable is correlated with the error term. There are several different causes of specification error incorrect functional form a variable omitted from the model may have a relationship with both the dependent variable and one or more of the independent variables omitted variable bias ref http cemood.people.wm.edu 603.html Untitled Bot generated title ref an irrelevant variable may be included in the model the dependent variable may be part of a simultaneous equation simultaneity bias measurement errors may affect the independent variables.
