What is C / S Computing?

• Client / Server is a computational architecture

that involves client processes requesting
service from server processes.
• A server software accepts requests for a
data/service from client software and returns
the results to the client
Where Operations are Done?

• In CS Relationship “most of the application

processing is done on a computer (client
side), which obtains application services
(such as database services) from another
computer (server side) in a master slave
configuration.
Focus / Application

• In client-server computing, the major focus is

on software.
• Some computer systems may be designed to
operate under client server configuration only:
– Suitable in environment with multiple users
doing similar activities:
• Student Labs
• Banking system

Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE)

• DDE is a feature of Windows and OS/2 which

enables users to pass data between
applications from different vendors through
support for common APIs (Application
Program Interface).
– Example: A charting package can be linked
to a database to provide the latest chart
data whenever the chart is referenced.
Object Linking and Embedding (OLE)
• OLE is Microsoft's framework for a
compound document technology
• It enables you to create objects with one
application and then link or embed them in a
second application.
• Embedded objects retain their original format
and links to the application that created them.
 Common Object Request Broker
Architecture (CORBA)
• It is OMG's open, vendor-independent architecture and
infrastructure that computer applications use to work
together over networks.
• Using the standard protocol IIOP, a CORBA-based
program from any vendor, on almost any computer,
operating system, programming language, and network,
can interoperate with a CORBA-based program from the
same or another vendor, on almost any other computer,
operating system, programming language, and network.

• Powerful workstation technology will be available to
everyone providing information wherever it is needed.
• Information will be available for use by owners and
authorized users, without the constant need for
professional systems developers and their complex
programming languages.
• The future will bring information captured at its source
and available immediately to authorized users.
• The future will provide information from data in its
original form: image, video, graphics, document,
spreadsheet, or structured data , without the need to
be aware of specific software for each other.

Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

HTTP is the protocol

that allows Web
browsers and servers
to communicate
HTTP/1.0 was the
original version
HTTP/1.1 has an
advantage of
Persistent Connection
Introduction to HTTP
• HTTP defines a simple request -response protocol
• It is on the Application Layer on TCP/IP Suite
• Stateless Protocol
• It doesn’t define how network connection is made or managed or data
transmitted
• The Request sent by the client to the server is HTTP Request
• The Response sent by the server to the client is HTTP Response
Request Response Model
Once a client makes a request the following things happen
2. Client makes handshake with the web server to check if the actual
request can be sent
3. Web server responds depending on the availability. If busy, sends an
503 status indicating that the server is busy
4. In case server is not busy, the client sends the request
5. Server checks for availability of the page and sends response
accordingly
6. Client acknowledges the same signaling the end of request
7. Any requests from the client will go through steps 1 to 5 again, as http
is a stateless protocol

A Typical Setup of a Web Application
A Typical Model
What is a Web Client?
• A web browser/client is a client program that uses the Hypertext
Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to make requests of web servers on the
Internet on behalf of the user.
• The two most popular browsers are Microsoft Internet Explorer and
Netscape Navigator.
What is a Web Server?

• A software program on a computer equipped to offer World Wide Web

access.
• A web server receives requests from users, retrieves requested files or
applications, and issues error messages if any.
Few Popular Web Servers
• Microsoft’s Personal Web Server
• Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS)
• Apache Web Server
• Silverstream Web Server

 + overall performance and robustness
 - Interface lacks wizards and graphical admin tasks,
 - More extensive technical support requires the purchase of a third-party
support contract
• High-end enterprise server for Unix and Win32
What is a Proxy Server?

• A server that sits between a client application, such as a Web browser,

and a real server. It intercepts all requests to the real server to see if it
can fulfill the requests itself. If not, it forwards the request to the real
server.
• Proxy servers have two main purposes:
– Improve Performance
– Filter Requests
What is a Firewall?

• A firewall is a set of related programs, located at a network gateway

server, that protects the resources of a private network from users from
other networks.

• An enterprise with an intranet that allows its workers access to the

wider Internet installs a firewall to prevent outsiders from accessing its
own private data resources and for controlling what outside resources
its own users have access to.
What is an Application Server?

• An application server is a server program in a computer in a distributed

network that provides the business logic for an application program.
• The application server is frequently viewed as part of a three-tier
application, consisting of
– Graphical user interface (GUI) server,
– Application (business logic) server,
– Database
Web Server Vs. Application Server
• Web server understands and
supports only HTTP protocol
• Used to host web pages
• Few Web Servers provide
additional functionality like
Caching, however Load balancing
and Clustering are not supported
• Sub-set of Application Server
• Application Server supports HTTP,
TCP/IP and many more protocols
• Used to execute application
components (“business logic”)
• Provides support for Caching, Load
balancing, Scalability, Fail-Over and
Clustering
• Application Server can be
configured to work as a Web Server
• Most of the Application Servers
available today have a Web Server
Services provided by Application Server
• Concurrency
• Transaction Management
• Persistence
• Naming
• Security

• IBM WebSphere
• JBoss Application Server
• Sun Java System Application Server
• Oracle Application Server
• Pramati Server
• Borland Enterprise Server
• Iona Orbix
What is a Load Balancer?

• Distributing processing and communications activity evenly across a

computer network so that no single device is overwhelmed.
• Load balancing is especially important for networks where it's difficult to
predict the number of requests that will be issued to a server.
• Busy Web sites typically employ two or more Web servers in a load
balancing scheme. If one server starts to get swamped, requests are
forwarded to another server with more capacity.
• Load balancing can also refer to the communications channels
themselves
Wireless Web
 What is Wireless Web?

• The wireless web represents the combination of

two innovative technologies:
– wireless communication which through cell
phone has added a mobile dimension to e-
commerce and enterprise computing.
– the web i.e. Internet which has radically
changed how we do business, interact and
entertain ourselves.

“The wireless web is where wireless and the Internet meet”

 Introduction
• Wireless technology turns e-business into m-
business, or mobile business.
• Current applications
– Conduct online transactions
– Make purchases
– Trade stocks
– Send e-mail
• Future applications
– A wireless office, where computers, phones
and other office equipment are all networked
without cables.
The Wireless Advantage
• Localization – is the ability to geographically
locate wireless devices using GPS (Global
Positioning System).
• Personalization – Wireless can know who you
are and what your preferences are.
• Immediacy and Push – Ability to immediately
deliver or push information to users when
they need it rather than when it’s requested.
 Wireless Application Opportunities

• Business-to-consumer (B2C) interaction: Companies

reach out directly to consumers.
• Business-to-Business (B2B) commerce: Opens
connections to suppliers and partners.
• Business-to-Employee (B2E) interaction: Introduces
efficiencies into an organization by making corporate data
available to mobile workers.
 Wireless Devices
• Wireless development
– First-generation wireless technology was the cellular
phone
– Second generation wireless technology, which includes
digital cellular phones, is currently in use worldwide
– Third generation, or 3G technology will enable wireless
devices to send and receive data as much as seven times
faster than a standard 56K modem
• Wireless devices
– Personal digital assistants (PDAs)
– Digital cellular phones
– Two-way pagers
Device Types
 Wireless Internet Access
• Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA)
– Each transmission is assigned a specific channel,
giving the transmission the benefit of the entire
bandwidth within that channel and reducing the
possibility that a connection will be broken
– Able to assign each transmission on the network a
unique code to ensure security
• Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM)
– Uses Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) which
takes multiple calls and assigns each call to a
different time slot on the same radio frequency
 Wireless Internet Access
• 3G technologies
– EDGE
• combines TDMA and GSM technologies to increase
high speed wireless internet access, streaming audio
and video, etc.

– Cdma2000
• CDMA technology with increased bandwidth
-- W-CDMA with increased bandwidth and faster transfers
 Wireless Web Technology
• Three technologies are used to provide Web
access to wireless devices
– Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)
• Communication protocols standardizing
wireless internet access across all
devices
– Wireless Markup Language
– Web clipping
• Cut out only certain pieces of an Internet
page (handheld devices have small
screens)
 WAP and WML
• Wireless Application Protocol (WAP)
– Developed by Nokia, Ericsson, Motorola, etc.
– A set of communication protocols designed to enable
different kinds of wireless devices to communicate
and access the Internet
– Designed to standardize development across different
wireless technologies worldwide
– Intended primarily for Internet-enabled digital phones,
pagers and other handheld devices
– Uses Web sites specifically designed for wireless
handheld devices that have small screens and low-
bandwidth constraints
 WAP and WML
• Wireless Markup Language (WML)
– The scripting language used to create Web content to be
delivered to wireless handheld devices, based on XML
– Removes “unnecessary” content from Web pages
– WML tags are used to “mark up” a Web page to specify how
the page should be formatted on a wireless device
– WML works with the WAP to deliver the content
– Similar to HTML, but it does not require input devices
• Micro-browsers
– Designed with limited bandwidth and limited memory
requirements
– Access the Web via the wireless Internet
 WAP and WML
• How wireless Internet works:
– A WAP gateway, which acts as a proxy server, receives the
request, translates it and sends it to the appropriate Internet
server
– Server responds by sending the requested WML document
– The WAP gateway parses this document's WML (i.e., it
analyzes the WML document, checking it for correctness) and
sends the proper text to the digital phone
• Deck
A WML document
• Card
– Consists of one user interaction, providing the WML browser
with a small, self-contained document for browsing
 Web Clipping
• Web clipping
– Allows users to take relevant pieces of a Web site and deliver it to a
wireless device, eliminating excess content and graphics
– Palm devices use Web clipping
• Proxy server
– Lies between client (such as a Web browser) and Web server
– A query is received by a proxy server controlled by the wireless ISP
– Proxy server goes to the Web site and “clips” the necessary data
• The proxy server transmits the data back to your wireless device
• If the proxy server does not have the information, it passes the
request to the regular server
 Bluetooth
• Bluetooth:
– A wireless technology that provides short-range, high-speed
voice and data communication between digital devices
– Conceived by Ericsson in 1994
– Provides up to 1 Mbps (megabits per second) of data transfer
capability between devices as much as 30 feet apart
– Can also be used to create wireless offices
• Bluetooth Special Interest Group
– Initially comprising Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Toshiba and Nokia
– Developed an open specification for the technology and to
encouraged cross-platform capabilities for the different wireless
devices
Wireless Local Area Networks
