Editing Asynchronous operation

{{no footnotes|date=March 2013}}

In [[telecommunications]], '''asynchronous operation''' or '''asynchronous working''' is where a [[sequence]] of [[Operation (mathematics)|operations]] is executed such that the operations are executed out of [[time]] coincidence with any [[Event-driven programming|event]].  It can also be an operation that occurs without a regular or predictable time relationship to a specified event; e.g., the calling of an [[error]] diagnostic [[Subroutine|routine]] that may receive control at any time during the execution of a [[computer program]].
