Exam 12: Designing Distributed and Internet Systems

Which of the following client/server architectures places all software on the client except for the data management functions?

When adopting a client/server architecture,identify four benefits that may occur.

Client-based deliveries of applications to users of PCs and workstations are called:

Software building blocks that are used to assure that common system capabilities like user interfaces and printing are standardized as well as modules for facilitating the data exchange between clients and servers best describes:

Match each of the following approaches to its corresponding description. -This form of client/server architecture combines the best features of distributed function and distributed database by splitting both of these across client and server,with presentation functions under the exclusive responsibility of the client machine.

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -A LAN-based computing environment in which a central database server or engine performs all database commands sent to it from client workstations,and application programs on each client concentrate on user interface functions.

Which of the following is a method of implementing standard page styles through a Website?

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -A centralized,integrated data warehouse that is the control point and single source of all data made available to end users for decision-support applications throughout the entire organization.

What is middleware? Provide an example to illustrate the usefulness of middleware.

Providing Internet content to users based upon knowledge of that customer best describes:

A subject-oriented,integrated,time-variant,nonvolatile collection of data used in support of management decision making best describes a(n):

A method that helps you to better understand how a system fits within existing business activities and data best defines:

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -Internet sites that allow a user to customize information to their personal preferences.

The primary difference between an application built using the client/server architecture and a centralized database system on a mainframe is that each client is an intelligent part of the application processing system.

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -A communications protocol for exchanging information on the Internet.

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -A subject-oriented,integrated,time-variant,nonvolatile collection of data that is used in support of management decision making.

The biggest driver for developing new types of systems is:

A LAN-based computing environment in which a central database server or engine performs all database commands sent to it from client workstations,and in which application programs on each client concentrate on user interface functions,describes a:

Match each of the following terms with its corresponding definition. -A centralized,integrated data warehouse that is the control point and single source of all data made available to end users for decision support applications throughout the entire organization.

The design goal of an informational system is performance.
