Client-Server Computing

• clients request a resource

• server provides that resource.
According to OmniSci

• The client-server model, or

client-server architecture, is
a distributed application
framework dividing tasks
between servers and clients,
which either reside in the
same system or
communicate through a
computer network or the
Internet
According to OmniSci

• The client relies on sending a request

to another program in order to access
a service made available by a server.
The server runs one or more
programs that share resources with
and distribute work among clients.

- request–response messaging
pattern
common communications protocol,
-defines the rules, language, and
dialog patterns to be used.
Client-server communication
typically adheres to the TCP/IP
protocol suite.
According to OmniSci

• Client requests
• organized and prioritized in a scheduling
system,
• helps servers cope in the instance of
receiving requests from many distinct clients
• The client-server approach enables any
general-purpose computer to expand its
capabilities by utilizing the shared resources
of other hosts.
• Popular client-server applications include
email, the World Wide Web, and network
printing.
