other uses of TransparencyTransparency disambiguation In a distributed system , failure transparency refers to the extent to which errors and subsequent recoveries of Server computing hosts and Web service services within the system are invisible to users and Application software applications . How does it relate to Fault tolerant system concept? Is this sub category, uber category, or just the same thing? For example, if a server fails, but users are automatically redirected to another server and never notice the failure, the system is said to exhibit high failure transparency . Failure transparency is one of the most difficult types of transparency to achieve since it is often difficult to determine whether a server has actually failed, or whether it is simply responding very slowly. ref name Tanenbaum Tanenbaum, Andrew S. and Maarten van Steen, Distributed Systems Principles and Paradigms, Prentice Hall, Second Edition, 2007. ISBN 0 132392 27 5 ref Additionally, it is generally impossible to achieve full failure transparency in a distributed system since networks are unreliable. There is also usually a trade off between achieving a high level of failure transparency and maintaining an adequate level of system performance. For example, if a distributed system attempts to mask a transient server failure by having the client try to contact the failed server multiple times, performance of the system may be negatively affected. In this case, it would have been preferable to have given up earlier and tried another server. ref name Tanenbaum References Reflist See also Byzantine fault tolerance Intrusion Tolerance Capillary routing Cluster computing Data redundancy Elegant degradation Error detection and correction Fail safe Fault tolerant design Fault tolerant system Progressive Enhancement Separation of protection and security Transparency computing Category Distributed computing compu stub ... more details

Purpose Traditionally, the X Window System has lagged behind other windowing systems in adding purely eye candy or aesthetic features, such as window translucency . This has encouraged X client client Software developer developer s to develop Hack technology slang hacks cunning workarounds to overcome this limitation. This pseudo transparency, so called as the background pixmap of the root window is visible analogous to computer wallpaper desktop wallpaper rather than any obscured windows, allows users to make windows look less imposing such as Terminal emulator s, which usually comprise large chunks of text , and to integrate the appearance of windows with their desktop themes. Implementation There are three common methods for achieving pseudo transparency using Xlib , each with its own advantages and drawbacks. Parental relative The parental relative method uses code XSetWindowBackgroundPixmap code to inherit the parent window s background image. Unfortunately, using this method, the X server permits very few operations to be performed on the background pixmap such as XOR , preventing clients from implementing any sort of advanced image filtering.

Unreferenced date February 2010 Linguistic transparency is a phrase which is used in multiple, overlapping subjects in the fields of linguistics and the philosophy of language. It has both Norm philosophy normative and descriptive senses. Normative Normatively, the phrase can be used to describe the effort to suit one s rhetoric to the widest possible audience, without losing relevant information in the process. Advocates of normative linguistic transparency often argue that linguistic opacity is dangerous to a democracy. These critics point out that jargon is deliberately employed in government and business. It encrypts morally suspect information in order to dull reaction to it for example, the phrase collateral damage to refer to the manslaughter of innocents. One play upon this view was by William Strunk, Jr. and E. B. White , who in the Elements of Style ruled that the writer ought to eschew obfuscation . The Plain Language Movement is an example of people who advocate using clearer, common language within the wider academic community. Professor at New York University Alan Sokal , perpetrator of the Sokal hoax , is another noteworthy example of an advocate of linguistic transparency. Writer and political philosopher George Orwell was a proponent of this view, which he captured in the landmark essay, Politics and the English Language . Orwell wrote a novel, Nineteen Eighty Four 1984 , about a dystopia n future controlled through a politically crafted language called Newspeak . Newspeak is a language that is linguistically transparent in the descriptive sense, but not in the normative one. Comedian George Carlin has famously parodied the phenomenon in his stand up comedy.

No footnotes date February 2011 IT cost transparency is a new category of information technology management software and systems and that enables enterprise IT organizations to model and track the total cost to deliver and maintain the IT Services they provide to the business. It is increasingly a task of management accounting . IT cost transparency solutions integrate financial information such as labor, software licensing costs, hardware acquisition and depreciation, data center facilities charges, from general ledger systems and combines that with operational data from ticketing, monitoring, asset management, and project portfolio management systems to provide a single, integrated view of IT costs by service, department, GL line item and project. In addition to tracking cost elements, IT Cost Transparency tracks utilization, usage and operational performance metrics in order to provide a measure of value or ROI. Costs, budgets, performance metrics and changes to data points are tracked over time to identify trends and the impact of changes to underlying cost drivers in order to help managers address the key drivers in escalating IT costs and improve planning. IT cost transparency combines elements of activity based costing, business intelligence, operational monitoring and performance dashboards. It provides the system on which to implement ITIL v3 ITIL v3 Financial Management guidelines to assist with ITSM Financial Management for IT services and is closely related to IT Service Management .

A transparency , also known in industrial settings as a viewfoil or foil , is a thin sheet of transparency optics transparent flexible material, typically cellulose acetate , onto which figures can be drawn. These are then placed on an overhead projector for display to an audience. Many companies and small organizations use a system of projectors and transparencies in meetings and other groupings of people, though this system is being largely replaced by LCD projector s and interactive whiteboards . Creation of transparencies Transparencies can be created in one of two ways. First, a laser printer can be connected to a computer, which is loaded with a cartridge of celulose acetate sheets. An image or document is then created within the computer , though images are prevalent due to text being illegible at certain distances f rom a projection, and then formatted to be printed. From there, the printer is engaged and the document printed onto the sheet of acetate. Some people prefer to test the transparency before sending it out to the person requesting it. Secondly, some black and white or color copiers are able to print onto, or can be configured to handle, acetate sheets. These are usually toner based copying machines, as inkjet based technology is not yet capable of printing on acetate sheets. A person may place a document or a book on the surface of the copying machine and make one or several copies onto acetate, if there are simultaneous meetings or if another company or organization wants a copy.
