Exam 13: Application Architecture and Modeling

In a distributed data client/server system everything runs in (or from) a web browser.

A messaging server hosts services for e-mail, calendaring, and other work group functionality.

The application architectural blueprint communicates which of the following design decisions?

Which of the following is an emerging technology that the author's of your textbook recommend as part of your curriculum plan of study?

A system in which the components of an information system are distributed to multiple locations in a computer network is known as:

Almost all PCs can act as fat clients.

Electronic data interchange (EDI) is the standardized electronic flow of business transactions or data between businesses.

File server architectures are practical for large database applications to be shared by a relatively large number of users.

An intranet uses Internet technology to integrate desktop, work group and enterprise computing.

A(n) _______________________________________________ system is a solution in which the presentation and presentation logic layers are implemented in web browsers using content downloaded from a web server.

In which application architecture do you NOT need to worry about developing for different computer architectures?

A(n) _____________________ client is a personal computer that does not have to be very powerful (or expensive. in terms of processor speed and memory because it only presents the interface (screens) to the user. In other words, it acts only as a terminal.

Which of the following is a kind of middleware?

_____________________________________ duplicates some or all tables (rows and columns) on more than one database server.

Presentation middleware enables two programmer-written processes on different processors to communicate with one another.

The information system application layer that implements any processing that must be done to generate the user interface is known as:

A client/server system is a solution in which the presentation, presentation logic, application logic, data manipulation and data layers are distributed between client PCs and one or more servers.

_________________________________ middleware enables two programmer-written processes on different processors to communicate with one another in whatever way is best suited to the overall application. It is essential to multi-tier application development.

A solution in which the data and data manipulation layers are placed on the server(s) and the application logic, presentation logic and presentation are placed on the clients is known as:

What technique duplicates some or all tables of a database on more than one database server?
