For Iteration we have terms and definitions in 4 topics. The topics are Agile Modeling, Bioinformatics, Multics and Ordination.

Iteration (Agile Modeling)

A Unified Process term referring to a distinct sequence of activities with a baselined plan and valuation criteria resulting in a release (either internal or external).

Iteration (Bioinformatics)

A series of steps in an algorithm whereby the processing of data is performed repetitively until the result exceeds a particular threshold. Iteration is often used in multiple sequence alignments whereby each set of pairwise alignments are compared with every other, starting with the most similar pairs and progressing to the least similar, until there are no longer any sequence-pairs remaining to be aligned.

Iteration (Multics)

The Multics shell supports iteration over command arguments. For example, you can say
delete (a b c d).fortran
and this is expanded by the shell into
delete a.fortran
delete b.fortran
delete c.fortran
delete d.fortran
See command language.

Iteration (Ordination)

Often, a mathematical operation must be repeated again and again (using the output of the operation as the input into the operation the next time around). Each incidence of this operation is termed an iteration.
