The activities of foraging and sensemaking in geospatial analysis have been incorporated in the Structured Geospatial Analytic Method.

Structured VLSI design had been popular in the early 1980s, but lost its popularity later because of the advent of placement and routing tools wasting a lot of area by routing, which is tolerated because of the progress of Moore's Law.

Structured urban planning ideas and preparations had been in the works for Le Havre long before World War Two.

Structured programming, canonical structures: Per the Church-Turing thesis any algorithm can be computed by a model known to be Turing complete, and per Minsky's demonstrations Turing completeness requires only four instruction types — conditional GOTO, unconditional GOTO, assignment, HALT.

Structured illumination can improve resolution by around two to four times and techniques like stimulated Emission Depletion microscopy are approaching the resolution of electron microscopes.

Structured programming is a programming paradigm aimed on improving the clarity, quality, and development time of a computer program by making extensive use of subroutines, block structures and for and while loops – in contrast to using simple tests and jumps such as the goto statement which could lead to " spaghetti code " which is both difficult to follow and to maintain.

Structured VLSI design is a modular methodology originated by Carver Mead and Lynn Conway for saving microchip area by minimizing the interconnect fabrics area.

Hoare in the influential book Structured Programming of 1972 by Dahl, Edsger Dijkstra and Hoare, perhaps the best-known academic book concerning software in the 1970s.

Jackson Structured Programming was seen by many as related to Warnier structured programming, but the latter method focused almost exclusively on the structure of the output stream.

UDDI is an open industry initiative, sponsored by the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards ( OASIS ), for enabling businesses to publish service listings and discover each other, and to define how the services or software applications interact over the Internet.

Interactive access to the Oracle Rdb can be by SQL ( Structured Query Language ), RDO ( Relational Database Operator ), or both.

This practice was adopted by the NIST Structured Testing methodology, with an observation that since McCabe's original publication, the figure of 10 had received substantial corroborating evidence, but that in some circumstances it may be appropriate to relax the restriction and permit modules with a complexity as high as 15.

Many others also contributed, with their approaches flavouring the many models of the day, including: Tony Wasserman and Peter Pircher with the " Object-Oriented Structured Design ( OOSD )" notation ( not a method ), Ray Buhr's " Systems Design with Ada ", Archie Bowen's use case and timing analysis, Paul Ward's data analysis and David Harel's " Statecharts "; as the group tried to ensure broad coverage in the real-time systems domain.

The MPEG-4 Part 3 consists of a variety of audio coding technologies-from lossy speech coding ( HVXC, CELP ), general audio coding ( AAC, TwinVQ, BSAC ), lossless audio compression ( MPEG-4 SLS, Audio Lossless Coding, MPEG-4 DST ), a Text-To-Speech Interface ( TTSI ), Structured Audio ( using SAOL, SASL, MIDI ) and many additional audio synthesis and coding techniques.
