Abstraction
is formation of an idea, as of the qualities or properties of a thing, by mental separation from particular instances or material objects In software visualisation, abstraction depends on ignoring some aspects of a program or algorithm being visualised, if they do not constitute an efficient means for algorithm understanding On the other hand, it also consists of introduction to the visualisation some elements, which are present neither in the executed program nor in its data, and are usually difficult or impossible to be deduced from them (so called intention content - see below)
Abstraction
The logical form which analogous things have in common Also, the process of identifying characteristics that distinguish a collection of similar objects
Abstraction
Abstraction means extracting the essential features of something without including unnecessary detail In the context of object oriented development, we design classes so that clients of a class do not need to know about the detailed implementation of the class Perfect supports this kind of abstraction in specifications as well as implementations Although it is sometimes possible to define a class adequately by its behaviour alone, more often it is necessary to have some model of the data stored by the class in order to understand what the class is for The class methods are specified in terms of this abstract data model (although naturally, clients of the class do not have direct access to it) This leaves the way open to refining the abstract data model to a more efficient implementation model
Abstraction
In programming design abstraction means hiding details so that only what is needed to use the software is shown Abstraction, information hiding, and encapsulation all mean the same thing
Abstraction
The act of considering something as a general quality or characteristic, apart from concrete realities, specific objects, or actual instances
Abstraction
preoccupation with something to the exclusion of all else
Abstraction
A description of a collection of things that applies equally well to any one of them Also, a concept that denotes the common properties of a family
Abstraction
(v) the process of forming an abstract representation, usually hiding detail of the component, system or process not required for the purpose (n) the result of the process of abstraction
Abstraction
Process of deriving a general concept from specific details; partial representation of something whole
Abstraction
The essential characteristics of an entity that distinguish it from all other kind of entities An abstraction defines a boundary relative to the perspective of the viewer
Abstraction
the process of removing similar functionality from subclasses and instead defining it in their superclass (What is Programming? - Slide 16)
Abstraction
A mental activity, an attitude of mind which affects primarily the entire life-attitude of the personality It involves not only the detachment from long habit, but it involves also a complete readjustment of the entire threefold person to the world of souls

a general concept formed by extracting common features from specific examples
Abstraction
an abstract painting
Abstraction
Method for computing depreciation by comparing the replacement cost of improvements to the sales price less the land value
Abstraction
The process of hiding details in a program, or the result of the process
Abstraction
– (1) With respect to software, the conceptual difference between the physical reality of computer hardware and the abstract or logical view of that same hardware provided by system software and/or a programming language (2) With respect to computer system modeling, the process of selecting and representing computing resources and application demands within a model
Abstraction
An abstraction is the
Abstraction
a generalized, condensed, or simplified concept derived from a more complex situation A part representation of some whole
Abstraction
(v) The process of separating the interface to some functionality from the underlying implementation in such a way that the implementation can be changed without changing the way that piece of code is used (n) The API (interface) for some piece of functionality that has been separated in this way
Abstraction
the act of withdrawing or removing something
Abstraction
the process of formulating general concepts by abstracting common properties of instances
Abstraction
An intensional representation of a class, typically a description Abstractions always summarize, that is, they emphasize some properties and leave out other properties Omitted properties may be particular to members of the class but are not salient to defining the class
Abstraction
abstraction means ignoring many details in order to focus on the most important elements of a problem
Abstraction
A simplified representation of something that is potentially quite complex It is often not necessary to know the exact details of how something works, is represented or is implemented, because we can still make use of it in its simplified form Object-oriented design often involves finding the right level of abstraction at which to work when modeling real-life objects If the level is too high, then not enough detail will be captured If the level is too low, then a program could be more complex and difficult to create and understand than it needs to be
Abstraction
A representation of a problem, process, etc , that focuses on logical properties rather than on implementation details
Abstraction
is the act of abstracting, the separating from the concrete To derive To epitomize; to abridge, summarize, concentrate A brief statement of the chief points of a larger work; a condensed record or representation
abstraction
Thus, when the mind considers the form of a tree by itself, or the color of the leaves as separate from their size or figure, the act is called abstraction
abstraction
The taking surreptitiously for one's own use part of the property of another; purloining
