Editing Programming domain

{{Short description|A programming environment}}
{{About|programming environments||Domain (disambiguation)}}

The term '''programming domain''' is mostly used when referring to [[domain-specific programming language]]s. It refers to a set of [[programming language]]s or [[Integrated development environment|programming environment]]s that were written specifically for a particular [[Domain (software engineering)|domain]], where ''domain'' means a broad subject for [[end user]]s such as [[accounting]] or  [[finance]], or a category of program usage such as [[artificial intelligence]] or [[email]]. Languages and systems within a single programming domain would have functions common to the domain and may omit functions that are irrelevant to a domain.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-programming-domain.htm|title=What Is a Programming Domain?

Some examples of programming domains are:

*[[Expert systems]], computer systems that emulate the decision-making ability of a human expert and are designed to solve complex problems by reasoning through bodies of knowledge.
*[[Natural language processing|Natural-language processing]], handling interactions between computers and human (natural) languages such as [[speech recognition]], [[natural-language understanding]], and [[natural language generation|natural-language generation]]. 
*[[Computer vision]], dealing with how computers can understand and automate tasks that the human visual system can do and extracting data from the real world.

Other programming domains would include:
*[[Application scripting]]
*[[Array programming]]
*[[Artificial intelligence reasoning|Artificial-intelligence reasoning]]
*[[Cloud computing]]
*[[Computational statistics]]
*[[Contact Management Software]]
*[[E-commerce]]
*[[Financial time-series analysis]]
*[[Application software|General-purpose applications]]
*[[Image processing]]
*[[Internet]]
*[[Numerical mathematics]]
*[[Programming education]]
*[[Relational database querying]]
*[[Software prototyping]]
*[[Symbolic mathematics]]
*[[Systems design|Systems design and implementation]]
*[[Text processing]]
*[[Theorem proving]]
*[[Video game programming]] and [[Video game development|development]]
*[[Video processing]]
