In software engineering , a monolithic application describes a single tiered Application software software application in which the user interface and data access code are combined into a single program from a single Platform computing platform .

In computing , a situational application is good enough software created for a narrow group of users with a unique set of needs. The application typically but not always has a short life span, and is often created within the group where it is used, sometimes by the users themselves. As the requirements of a small team using the application change, the situational application often also continues to evolve to accommodate these changes. Although Situational Applications are specifically designed to embrace change, significant changes in requirements may lead to an abandonment of the situational application altogether in some cases it is just easier to develop a new one than to evolve the one in use. Characteristics Situational Applications are developed fast, easy to use, uncomplicated, and serve a unique set of requirements. They have a narrow focus on a specific business problem, and they are written in a way where if the business problem changes rapidly, so can the situational application.

Unreferenced date December 2009 Application sharing is an element of remote access , falling under the collaborative software umbrella, that enables two or more users to access a shared application or document from their respective computers simultaneously in real time. Generally, the shared application or document will be running on a host computer, and remote access to the shared content will be provided to other users by the host user. Granting access Access is typically granted in one of three ways, depending on the architecture of the application sharing software. 1. If the software allows the shared content to be accessed from the web, the host user will usually define and provide a username password combination to the remote users he she wishes to grant access to they can then enter the log in information on the appropriate website and access the shared material. One example of software that features application sharing in this manner is Qnext . 2. If the software is required on both ends to access the shared content, granting access will be governed by the mechanisms of that particular software, but will usually require some sort of user authentication as well. One example of software that features application sharing in this manner is MSN Messenger . 3. The shared content being an application or entire desktop can be accessed using a permission based software approach. This technique helps to ensure that the application or desktop being controlled cannot be accessed without direct live approval, helping to eliminate the security risk of taking control of a desktop when ..., and manipulate the shared content most application sharing software allows the host to revoke ... instantly apparent changes in real time.

Not to be confused with partial evaluation . In computer science , partial application or partial function application refers to the process of fixing a number of arguments to a function, producing another function of smaller arity . Given a function math scriptstyle f colon X times Y times Z to N math , we might fix or bind the first argument, producing a function of type math scriptstyle text partial f colon Y times Z to N math . Evaluation of this function might be represented as math f partial 2, 3 math . Note that the result of partial function application in this case is a function that takes two arguments. Motivation Intuitively, partial function application says if you fix the first parameter computer science argument s of the function, you get a function of the remaining arguments . For example, if function div stands for the division operation x y , then div with the parameter x fixed at 1 i.e. div 1 is another function the same as the function inv that returns the multiplicative inverse of its argument, defined by inv y 1 y . The practical motivation for partial application is that very often the functions obtained by supplying some but not all of the arguments to a function are useful for example, many languages have a function or operator similar to code plus one code . Partial application makes it easy to define these functions, for example by creating a function that represents ... form by default.

Unreferenced date January 2009 In mathematics , function application is the act of applying a function mathematics function to an argument from its domain mathematics domain so as to obtain the corresponding value from its range mathematics range . Representation Function application is usually depicted by juxtaposing the variable representing the function with its argument encompassed in parentheses . For example, the following expression represents the application of the function to its argument x . math f x , math In some instances, a different notation is used where the parentheses aren t required, and function application can be expressed just by juxtaposition. For example, the following expression can be considered the same as the previous one math f x math The latter notation is especially useful in combination with the currying isomorphism. Given a function math f X times Y to Z math , its application is represented as math f x, y math by the former notation and math f langle x, y rangle math by the latter. However, functions in curried form math f X to Y to Z math can be represented by juxtaposing their arguments math f x y math , rather than math f x y math . This relies on function application being left associative . As an operator seemain Apply Function application can be trivially defined as an Operator mathematics operator , called Apply or math math , by the following definition math f mathop , , x f x math The operator may also be denoted by a backtick . If the operator is understood to be of Order of operations low precedence and right associative , the application operator can be used to cut down on the number of parentheses needed in an expression. For example math f g h j x , math can be rewritten as math f mathop , , g mathop , , h mathop , , j mathop ... math f circ g circ h circ j x math Other instances Function application in the lambda calculus is expressed by reduction .
