OK, the computer sense. I didn't even know about it. I would tend to
think the correct way would be what Melissa said earlier, without the
hyphen. I googled 'assert/deassert' and 'assert/de-assert'. There were
slightly more hits (82) for 'deassert' (without hyphen). There were
slightly fewer hits (78) for 'de-assert' (with hyphen).

which
one is correct - de-assert or deassert? Forgot about the opposite of
assert.
There are particular cases at our company where assert applies and we
need
to de-assert/deassert.
