Systèmes de traitement de l'information — Vocabulaire — Partie 19: Calcul analogique

La présente partie de l'ISO 2382 a pour objet de faciliter les échanges internationaux dans le domaine des systèmes de traitement de l'information. À cet effet, elle présente un ensemble bilingue de termes et de définitions ayant trait à des notions choisies dans ce domaine, et définit les relations pouvant exister entre les différentes notions. Les définitions ont été établies de manière à éviter les particularismes propres à une langue donnée, en vue de faciliter leur transposition dans les langues autres que celles ayant servi à la rédaction initiale. L'ISO 2382, qui en comprendra une trentaine, définit les notions relatives aux unités arithmétiques analogiques et hybrides, aux générateurs de fonction, aux convertisseurs et aux modes de fonctionnement de ces composants.

Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International
Standards is normally carried out through IS0 technical committees. Each member
body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has
the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to
the member bodies for approval before their acceptance as International Standards by
the IS0 Council. They are approved in accordance with IS0 procedures requiring at
least 75 % approval by the member bodies voting.

ISo2382-19:1989 (E/F)
Introduction
Information processing gives rise to numerous international exchanges of both an
intellectual and a material nature. These exchanges often become difficult, either
because of the great variety of terms used in various fields or languages to express the
same concept, or because of the absence or imprecision of the definitions of useful
concepts.
To avoid misunderstandings and to facilitate such exchanges it is essential to clarify the
concepts, to select terms to be used in various languages or in various countries to ex-
press the same concept, and to establish definitions providing satisfactory equivalents
for the various terms in different languages.
IS0 2382 was initially based mainly on the usage to be found in the Vocabulary of lnfor-
mation Processing which was established and published by the Inteinational Federa-
tion for Information Processing and the International Computation Centre, and in the
American National Dictionary for Information Processing systems and its earlier
editions published by the American National Standards Institute (formerly known as
the American Standards Association). Published and draft International Standards
relating to information processing of other international organizations (such as the
International Telecommunication Union and the International Electrotechnical Com-
mission) as well as published and draft national standards have also been considered.
The purpose of IS0 2382 is to provide definitions that are rigorous, uncomplicated and
which can be understood by all concerned. The scope of each concept defined has
been chosen to provide a definition that is suitable for general application. In those cir-
cumstances, where a restricted application is concerned, the definition may need to be
more specific.
However, while it is possible to maintain the self-consistency of individual parts, the
reader is warned that the dynamics of language and the problems associated with the
standardization and maintenance of vocabularies may introduce duplications and
inconsistencies between parts.

IS0 2382-19 : 1989 (E/F)
Introduction
Le traitement de I’information est a I’origine de multiples echanges intellectuels et
materiels sur le plan international. Ceux-ci souff rent souvent des difficult& provoquees
par la diversite des termes utilises pour exprimer la meme notion dans des langues ou
dans des domaines differents, ou encore de l’absence ou de I’imprecision des defini-
tions pour les notions les plus utiles.
Pour eviter des malentendus et faciliter de tels echanges, il paraR essentiel de preciser
les notions, de choisir les termes a employer dans les differentes langues et dans les
divers pays pour exprimer la meme notion, et d’etablir pour ces termes des definitions
equivalentes dans chaque langue.
L’ISO 2382 a et6 basee a I’origine principalement sur I’usage tel qu’il a et6 releve, d’une
part, dans le Vocabulary of Information Processing etabli et publie par I’lnternational
Federation for Information Processing et le Centre International de Calcul et, d’autre
part, dans I’American National Dictionary for Information Processing systems y com-
pris ses editions precedentes publiees par I’American National Standards Institute
(connu auparavant sous l’appellation d’American Standards Association). Les Normes
internationales publiees ou au stade de projets concernant le traitement de I’informa-
tion emanant d’autres organisations internationales (telles que I’Union internationale
des telecommunications et la Commission electrotechnique internationale) ainsi que
les normes nationales publiees ou au stade de projets, ont egalement et6 prises en
’ compte.
Le but de I’ISO 2382 est de procurer des definitions rigoureuses, simples et comprehen-
sibles pour tous les interesses. La pot-tee de chaque notion a et6 choisie de facon que
sa definition puisse avoir la valeur la plus generale. Cependant, il est parfois necessaire
de restreindre une notion a un domaine plus etroit et de lui donner alors une definition
plus specifique.
D’autre part, si l’on peut assurer la coherence interne de chaque partie prise individuel-
lement, la coherence des diverses parties entre elles est plus difficile a atteindre. Le lec-
teur ne doit pas s’en etonner : la dynamique des langues et les problemes de I’etablisse-
ment et de la revision des normes de vocabulaires peuvent etre 8 I’origine de quelques
repetitions ou contradictions entre des parties qui ne sont pas toutes preparees et
publiees simultanement.
