Exam 12: Designing Distributed and Internet Systems

A ________ is a subject-oriented,integrated,time-variant,nonvolatile collection of data used in support of management decision making.

The biggest driver for developing new types of systems is:

In a typical client/server architecture,all database recovery,security,and access management is localized at the client.

________ is the immediate automated responses to the request of users.

The remote presentation approach to designing client/server architectures places all data presentation functions on the client machine so that the client has total responsibility for formatting data.

________ refers to software building blocks that are used to ensure that common system capabilities like user interfaces and printing are standardized as well as modules for facilitating the data exchange between clients and servers.

________ is an Internet-authoring language that allows designers to create customized tags,enabling the definition,transmission,validation,and interpretation of data between applications.

Which of the following is a primary reason for creating three-tiered client/server architectures?

Which of the following is not a method for conveying trustworthiness in a Web site?

In a basic LAN environment,all data manipulation occurs on the file server.

________ is a measurement that tracks the core business functions affected by a system.

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 best describes a(n):

An advantage of client/server architectures is the ability to decouple the client environment from the server environment.

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

File server-based architectures benefit from having a very fast hard disk and cache memory in both clients and the server,enhancing their ability to transfer files to and from the network,RAM,and hard disk.

A device that manages file operations and is shared by each client PC that is attached to a LAN best describes a:

In a three-layer data warehouse architecture,users access the data that have been derived from the enterprise data warehouse that are stored in data marts.

The primary characteristic of a client-based LAN is that all data manipulation is performed at the client PC,not at the file server.

________ is a measurement of how far into the existing technology infrastructure a system penetrates.

Describe six approaches to designing server architectures.
