This book is an in-depth look at a hot new Windows-based technology--thin clients that reduce total cost of ownership by moving applications and administrative functions from the desktop to the server. This radical technology lets machines in the "dumb terminal" category run sophisticated Windows software, minus the costs and headaches of traditional PCs.
Network Re-Engineering: Foundations of Enterprise Computing deals with the aspects of an organization's information systems and communications assets. This book reviews the foundations of enterprise computing including servers, client/server computing, local area networks, user interfaces, and emerging cross-platform development. The coverage of an enterprise computing system needs efficient communication facilities over which interoperability and information sharing devices can operate. This text explains the basic technologies and services that an enterprise computing environment requires: protocol stacks, communications technologies, fundamental interoperability. For example, electronic m...
Open Client/Server Computing and Middleware provides a tutorial-oriented overview of open client/server development environments and how client/server computing is being done. This book analyzes an in-depth set of case studies about two different open client/server development environments—Microsoft Windows and UNIX, describing the architectures, various product components, and how these environments interrelate. Topics include the open systems and client/server computing, next-generation client/server architectures, principles of middleware, and overview of ProtoGen+. The ViewPaint environment, ProtoView screen manager, SQLView visual database access, and ProtoView WinControl library are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the interaction with db-UIM/X, widgets and building interfaces, network object toolkit, and integration of cross-platform components. This publication is suitable for computing professionals and researchers interested in open client/server computing.
This unique sourcebook for technical professionals describes the concepts, common applications, and design principles for building and trasitioning to client/server architecture. The authors discuss the features and problems of client/server products and offer suggestions via case studies. Vital standards information is also included.
From Federal Express's package tracking Website, to Amazon.com, netcentric computing has been evolving, slowly-but-surely, one solution at a time, since the early 1990s. Over the past year or so, the trickle has grown into a torrent of netcentric innovations of wider and wider scope, developed in companies around the globe. Now, a new enterprise computing paradigm has sprung into being. Until now, there has been no comprehensive netcentric model, clearly defined netcentric system architecture, or established set of guiding principles to help you gear up for this next stage in the evolution of enterprise computing. written by the experts at Andersen Consulting, Netcentric and Client/Server Co...
Written by a well-known columnist for Software Magazine, this book introduces client/server computing to information systems managers and application developers. Offering in-depth overviews of all aspects of client/server systems, each chapter includes examples, product descriptions, and actual case histories of successful implementations.
Client/Server System Design and Implementation provides you with a step-by-step plan for building a client/server environment, and fully explains open, semi-open, and closed architectures. It also analyzes major technological and market trends that impact client/server computing efforts.
About the Book: The book covers the detail concepts of Client Server Architectural aspects, its application components, its relationship with database, development tools associated with it and technologies used to develop client server systems. The book will serve as a complete text for all undergraduate (BCA, B. Sc., BCS and B. Tech.) and post graduate students (MCA, M. Tech. and MS) of Computer Science and Engineering students of various Technical Universities. Also the scope and depth of topics covered in the book, with its straightforward and often humorous delivery, make this book worth.
