Definitions for "Optimisation"
a method of calculating the best media schedule from a given budget based on empirical evidence of earlier insertions.
A radiological protection principle to the effect that that exposures should be ALARA, taking account of economic and social factors. The "threshold for optimisation" is a lower bound, of 20 microsieverts per annum, below which the regulators should not seek to require further reductions in radiation exposure provided they are satisfied that the operator is using best practicable means to limit discharges. It may be compared with exposure from the average level of natural background radiation in the UK which is 2,200 microsieverts per annum
A numerical process that creates a balance between conflicting objectives (eg. between maximising return and minimising risk), and will distinguish the asset mix that is likely to give the best return for a given risk level.
Fine tuning a website or webpage with the ultimate goal being to ascertain a higher position in all or a specific search engine's results.
The process of prioritising certain creatives within a campaign in order to serve more impressions of those ads which have a high click-through rate. Some ad serving solutions are able to do this automatically.
Tuning up website's source code in order to achieve better ranking in the search engines. Optimisation involves areas such as keywords selection and placement, content of the pages, source code of the pages.
the act of rendering optimal; "the simultaneous optimization of growth and profitability"; "in an optimization problem we seek values of the variables that lead to an optimal value of the function that is to be optimized"; "to promote the optimization and diversification of agricultural products"
Optimisation is the process of improving the efficiency of a virtual world by removing any unnecessary facets that slow down the rendering of an object.
Optimisation tools improve efficiency by removing any unnecessary facets that slow down the rendering of an object.
process of integration in which efficiency in different areas is traded-off and balanced for maximum effectiveness over the whole; in any complex or layered context, the process relies extensively on the EREA themes ( efficient, reliable, elegant, appropriate) to identify the energies and resources to be balanced, and on the R5 principles ( recursion, rotation, reflexion, reciprocation, resonance) to identify balances and trade-offs between different layers and sub-contexts such as departments, business processes and business units
The process of reducing as much as possible the file size and download time of resources such as web-graphics while maintaining a suitable level of quality. Password box Text input box that allows a single line of text to be entered. It is possible to limit the size and number of characters that can be entered. As the user types, the characters are hidden from display. e.g. HTML: input type="password" size="15" maxlength="10"
The process of reducing as much as possible the file size and download time of resources such as web-graphics while maintaining a suitable level of quality. Paralinguistic features Non-verbal elements of communication which provide meaning beyond the words uttered. In face-to-face communication, this includes features such as intonation, posture, expression and gesture. In online communication, this refers to the use of features such as emoticons, abbreviations, capitalisation, font and colour.
A technique to improve code performance and reduce size. The ionCube Encoder uses some techniques employed by the PHP Accelerator to improve code quality and assist in run-time performance. Tests show that as encoded files are already compiled and optimised, they can perform as well or even better than source.
Design change to improve performance. See also: Synthesis.
Method of schedule building by computer, by which an optimunim is produced according to the various parameters set by the media planner
