Describes a computing model in which one
program, a client, requests information from another, a server. the
client/ server model is one of the most important concepts in network
computing, as it provides a good way for organisations to make use of
programs and data that are distributed widely across different machines or
networks. The world wide web is based upon a simplified and more
elegant version of this model, in which a browser acts as the client
requesting information from any one of millions of web servers. |
