Abstract

This paper describes the design and implementation of a large-scale investment banking information system, currently used by hundreds of foreign exchange (FX) traders. It is a typical example of a distributed client/server application in a banking environment. It is shown, how much the specific requirements of data replication and parallel processing match with the paradigms and features of common off-the-shelf software components and why proprietary implementation sometimes seems inevitable and how the properties of the application, combined with performance requirements lead to the specific distribution of functionality and processing between the client and server side.
