Abstract

This paper summarizes and draws conclusions from a collection of previously published journal articles on the concept of client/server computing. The components of the client/server model are defined and compared with traditional system architectures. The benefits and pitfalls of the model are then discussed. A development plan for implementing client/server systems is provided, including feasibility studies. Finally, implementation tips are summarized to facilitate the development process.
