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.

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.

A practical hands-on source book that guides IS managers through the process of building and maintaining client/server application environments. Coverage includes team building, planning and budgeting, database modeling and design, object modeling and design, front-end navigation and design, back-end design, work flow management design, IS training and retraining, vendor selection, and system maintenance.

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 mail must conform to the CCITTX.400 specifications. Electronic mail systems include message handling, message typing or protocols, naming and addressing, and distribution lists. The book discusses two types of architectures for enterprise computing, namely, the OSE/1 APP and the CA09s. This text also notes that developing enterprise-class applications can be either through a direct development that meet the requirements of the enterprise or through migration of an existing system to a new one. This book can prove useful for programmers, systems officers, computer engineering instructors, and advanced students in computer science.

From bestselling author Dewire comes this sequel to the highly successful "Client/Server Computing" examining how client/server technology has changed since its inception four years ago, why some strategies have failed while others have proven more adaptable, the tools that have worked, and those that haven't. Brimming with advice of what and what not to do, this book will be a must for IS managers, designers, and implementors.
