Client / ServerClient / Server

Client/server is a distributed computing model in which client applications request services from server processes. Clients and servers typically run on different computers interconnected by a computer network.– Client application is a process or program that sends messages

to a server via the network. Those messages request the server to perform a specific task, such as looking up a customer record in a database or returning a portion of a file on the server’s hard disk.

– Server process or program listens for client requests that are transmitted via the network. Servers receive those requests and perform actions such as database queries and reading files.

Client / Server ArchitectureClient / Server Architecture

Three-tier ArchitecturesThree-tier ArchitecturesAn important design consideration for large client/server systems is whether a client talks directly to the server, or whether an intermediary process is introduced in-between the client and the server. The former is a two-tier architecture, the latter is a three-tier architecture.In the three-tier architecture, process between Server and client (intermediary) process is: – separate the clients and servers.– cache frequently accessed server data to ensure better performance

and scalability.– Performance can be increased by having the intermediary process to

distribute client requests to several servers such that requests execute in parallel.

– The intermediary can also act as a translation service by converting requests and replies to and from a mainframe format, or as a security service that grants server-access only to trusted clients.

Distributed Object Computing Distributed Object Computing

Distributed object computing is Object-oriented modeling and programming that is applied to the development of client/server systems. – Objects are pieces of software that make distributed object

computing accessible through a well defined interface.– The interface consists of object operations and attributes that

are remote accessible.– Client applications may connect to a remote instance of the

interface and invoke the operations on the remote object. The remote object acts as a server.

– Client/server objects have to interact with each other even if they are written in different programming languages and to run on different hardware and operating system platforms.

Distributed Object ArchitectureDistributed Object Architecture

There is no distinction in a distributed object architecture between clients and serversEach distributable entity is an object that provides services to other objects and receives services from other objectsObject communication is through a middleware system called an object request broker (software bus)

Distributed Object ArchitectureDistributed Object Architecture

Advantages of Distributed Object Architecture

It allows the system designer to delay decisions on where and how services should be provided

It is a very open system architecture that allows new resources to be added to it as required

The system is flexible and scaleable

It is possible to reconfigure the system dynamically with objects migrating across the network as required

Using ports, it’s possible to that machine. Using ports, it’s possible to participate in multiple independent network participate in multiple independent network communications, even to communicate between communications, even to communicate between different processes on the same machine.different processes on the same machine.

Distributed Object Architecture and Distributed Object Architecture and TCPTCP

To allow for programming and distributing objects across distributed networks, TCP is used with a middleware system– At the TCP level, all the connections between

objects on networked computers appear identical because the details of routing across hubs, routers, etc. are all handled at lower levels

– Object communication is through a middleware system
