Programming domain

The term '''programming domain''' is mostly used when referring to domain-specific programming languages. It refers to a set of programming languages or programming environments that were written specifically for a particular domain, where ''domain'' means a broad subject for end users 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, handling interactions between computers and human (natural) languages such as speech recognition, natural-language understanding, and 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 *Cloud computing *Computational statistics *Contact Management Software *E-commerce *Financial time-series analysis *General-purpose applications *Image processing *Internet *Numerical mathematics *Programming education *Relational database querying *Software prototyping *Symbolic mathematics *Systems design and implementation *Text processing *Theorem proving *Video game programming and development *Video processing
