• Self-description — The act of self-describing and its result; a detailed presentation, portrayal, or characterization that a person makes of their own physical, moral, psychological, or professional traits. In computer science, it describes the structural property of a data format or software object to contain its own definition metadata, allowing external systems to understand its structure without extra schemas.
• Self-described — Having been depicted, portrayed, or characterized by oneself or through one's own integrated logical mechanisms; an individual or digital system whose features, qualities, or structures were directly explained by their author, without external interpretations or validations. In computer science, it describes the state of an object or file that autonomously declares its metadata.
• Self-diagnosis — The act of self-diagnosing and its result; the process by which an individual identifies a physical or mental condition through self-analysis, or the automated function of a technical system to detect its own structural anomalies and faults.
• Self-diagnosed — Having established one's own diagnosis without the confirmation of an authorized specialist; a system, equipment, or patient analyzed and evaluated through its own internal mechanisms or methods of investigation.
• Self-diagnosis — A diagnosis established by an automated technical system, an electronic device, or a person upon themselves; the process and result of determining an operational or pathological state through autonomous investigation and internal analysis.
• Self-destroying — Possessing the capacity, property, or function to automatically destroy itself; a device, system, or code structurally programmed to cause its own structural annihilation or definitive deletion under specific predefined conditions to protect confidential data or prevent accidents.
• To self-document — To gather documents, data, and truthful information by oneself about a problem, subject, or field of study in order to ground one's knowledge or a written work; to use a software system or code capable of automatically generating its own operational technical documentation.
• Self-documentation — The act of self-documenting and its result; an individual and autonomous process of gathering materials, data, and bibliographical evidence to clarify a subject, or an advanced function of a computer system to automatically generate its own technical user guides.
• Self-documented — Having researched by oneself, possessing all necessary information and data obtained through personal effort; software code or technical component containing explicit and clear internal instructions, eliminating the need for extra external guides.
• Autofit — A software function or algorithm for the automatic resizing of structural elements (such as table columns and rows, text boxes, or images) to perfectly fit the size of the displayed content or screen boundaries. In spreadsheet applications, this command prevents data truncation by dynamically widening or narrowing the available space.
• To self-generate — To produce, create, or reproduce itself through an internal, automatic, or algorithmic mechanism, without requiring manual intervention or an external triggering stimulus. In computer science, it specifically refers to the process by which a software system dynamically creates code, documents, encryption keys, or databases based on predefined rules or templates.
• Autoloading — The act of loading automatically and its result; the structural or software property of a system to autonomously feed, insert, or execute its component elements, data streams, or ammunition, completely eliminating the need for external manual intervention. In industrial and ballistic engineering, the concept defines a repetitive mechanical self-feeding cycle, while in modern software architecture, it defines the autoloading process, whereby classes, scripts, and dependencies are dynamically brought into RAM at the exact moment of execution.
• Female automation engineer — A qualified woman or specialist with higher education whose profession consists of designing, developing, implementing, and maintaining automatic systems, industrial control algorithms, and sensor networks. The term represents the feminine motion of the noun 'automatician', describing a female specialist active within the advanced technological sector, programming PLC architectures, optimizing dynamic feedback loops, and coordinating industrial automation teams.
• Automatable — Capable of being automated; susceptible to being executed or managed autonomously by machines, robots, algorithms, or software scripts, partially or totally eliminating the need for direct human manual intervention. In systems engineering and business analysis, the term describes repetitive, linear, and strictly rule-based tasks that present high efficiency potential through digital integration.
• Automation — The act of automating and its result; the wide-scale introduction of automatic systems, robots, computers, and software programs into a manufacturing, research, or administrative process to take over repetitive physical or intellectual tasks. This global phenomenon boosts productivity, reduces human errors, optimizes operational costs, and structurally modifies the labor market, shifting the human role toward complex supervision.
• Automated — Operating, executing, or unfolding by means of automatic mechanisms, circuits, or software programs, no longer requiring direct human physical or intellectual intervention. The term describes an optimized structural process, an industrial production line, or a digital workflow that has been transitioned from manual operation to autonomous control via feedback loops and pre-established algorithms.
• Autostart — The structural capacity or process through which a mechanical, electrical, software system, or an engine triggers and begins its operation automatically, in response to a predefined stimulus or upon the restoration of power supply, without the manual intervention of an operator. In computer science and electronics, it describes the autonomous boot function or the automatic initialization of software services upon detecting a specific system state.
• Self-regeneration — The internal capacity of a living organism, technical system, or ecosystem to restore, repair, or rebuild itself through its own mechanisms, without external intervention or assistance. In biology, it defines the reconstruction of damaged tissues, while in engineering and IT, it refers to the property of materials or software systems to automatically correct errors or structural damages.
• Self-repair — To autonomously remedy, correct, or repair one's own defects, damages, errors, or structural imperfections without external manual intervention. The term applies to smart materials capable of sealing microcracks, software programs that self-correct corrupted lines of code, or biological systems that heal wounds via internal cellular regenerative processes.
• Self-repair — The act of self-repairing and its result; an autonomous process through which an organism, a smart material, or an IT system remedies its own defects, errors, or structural damages without external manual intervention. In materials engineering, this bio-mimetic phenomenon allows components exposed to wear to seal their own microcracks, extending their lifespan and operational safety.
