Cost of Sales/Services. All the costs associated with the goods or services that were sold during a specified accounting period, including materials, labor, and overhead.

Class or Service. A way of managing traffic in a network by grouping similar types of content (e.g., email, video, documents) together and treating each type as a class with its on level of priority.

Close of Service. The end of a volunteer's service.

A COS is the program that manages all the other programs in a chip on the smart card.

Conseil d'orientation et de surveillance (COS), an advisory and supervisory board composed of the mayor of the municipality, as legal chairman, and members nominated by the latter or elected.

Class of service. A collection of permissions and restrictions assigned to each subscriber that control access to and use of the system.

Class of Service (CoS) is a way of managing traffic in a network by grouping similar types of traffic (for example, e-mail, streaming video, voice, large document file transfer) together and treating each type as a class with its own level of service priority.

Cost of sales. The cost of a product or service sold to customers.

Class of Service. The ability to provide different levels of service to various traffic flows. A flow may be determined explicitly via tags or implicitly from the frame contents (such as the IP address or ToS field). Class of Service (CoS) network management is when similar types of traffic (for example, voice, video, or data) are grouped together and assigned a priority. Unlike Quality of Service (QoS) traffic management, CoS does not guarantee a level of service in terms of bandwidth and delivery time.

Certified Offer Service. Certified Offer Service from Network Solutions lets you make an anonymous offer to buy already registered domain names ending with .com, .net, .org, .biz, .info, and .us extensions. The first step in the Certified Offer Service process is to make an offer to the current Primary Contact (Seller) as listed in WHOIS. A free value assessment tool is provided to assist you (the Buyer) in determining the correct offer price. Once you initiate the process, Network Solutions will immediately send your Certified Offer to the Seller via e-mail. The Seller has 10 days to respond to the offer with an acceptance, rejection or a minimum acceptable price. If the Seller counters with a minimum price, the Buyer has 10 days to respond. Once a price is agreed to between the Buyer and Seller, the Buyer's credit card is charged for the accepted offer amount - plus a 5% transaction fee - and the transfer process is initiated.

Cosmic Origins Spectrograph - Fourth Generation Spectrometer. COS is an ultraviolet spectrograph optimized for observing faint point sources with moderate spectral resolution

Class of Service A category based on type of user, type of application, or some other criteria that QoS systems can use to provide differentiated classes of service. The characteristics of the CoS may be appropriate for high throughput traffic, for traffic with a requirement for low latency or simply for best effort. The QoS experienced by a particular flow of traffic will be dependent on the number and type of other traffic flows admitted to its class.

A method of managing traffic on a network by grouping like traffic together and giving each type a different priority level. COS differs from QOS (quality of service) in that it does not guarantee a certain level of service, but instead offers a "best effort" delivery.

class of service. An indication of how an upper-layer protocol requires a lower-layer protocol to treat its messages. In SNA subarea routing, CoS definitions are used by subarea nodes to determine the optimal route to establish a given session. A CoS definition comprises a virtual route number and transmission priority field. Repetitive, regularly timed signals are used to control synchronous processes.

The (software-) program part of the smart card IC providing basic services of the card, such as communication with the terminal, security management and data management in the smart card file system.

Class of Service. The combination of PABX features allowed for a particular extension or group of extensions.

class of service. (1) Telephone service distinctions which include: rate differences between individual and party lines, flat rate and message rate, and restricted and extended area service. (2) A subgrouping of telephone customers or users for the sake of rate distinction or limitation of service.

See Class Of Service

class of shares

Class of service. Determines how an upper-layer protocol requires a lower-level protocol to treat its messages. In Systems Network Architecture (SNA) subarea routing, CoS definitions are used by the subarea nodes to determine the optimal route to establish a given session. A CoS definition comprises a virtual route number and a transmission priority field. Also called type of service (ToS).

Class of Service. A specification for VTAM LU6.2 sessions, used to prioritze ISC traffic in the network. Common Object Services. CORBA Object Services. An object naming service.

1. class of service. Indication of how an upper-layer protocol requires that a lower-layer protocol treat its messages. In SNA subarea routing, COS definitions are used by subarea nodes to determine the optimal route to establish a given session. A COS definition comprises a virtual route number and a transmission priority field. Also called TOS (type of service). 2. Corporation for Open Systems. Organization that promulgates the use of OSI protocols through conformance testing, certification, and related activities.

Chief of Staff at the office. Good friend, confidante. My relation to her? I'm deputy COS.

Community of Science Additional Information: http://www.cos.com

Community of Science. COS is a commercial web-based database to which the University has a paid subscription. Through COS, faculty and staff members may search for funding sources, previously funded research, and researchers at other institutions. UI researchers can create individual COS profiles that detail their research interests and academic careers. COS is accessible to anyone with a uiowa.edu address.

A categorization of subscribers or traffic according to priority levels. Network resources are allocated based on the CoS.

CLASS OF SERVICE. A group of stations that share the same category for the purpose of allowing, denying or queuing features or services of the telephone system

Class of service. Method of classifying traffic on a packet-by-packet basis using information in the type-of-service (ToS) byte to provide different service levels to different traffic.

Cos was an American sketch comedy/variety TV series that debuted on the ABC Network in September 1976. It was hosted by comedian Bill Cosby and featured an ensemble cast who would perform sketches each week. The show was unsuccessful in the Neilsen ratings and was cancelled by November 1976.
