Whereas the words server and client may refer either to a computer or to a computer program, server-host and client-host always refer to computers. The host is a versatile, multifunction computer; clients and servers are just programs that run on a host. In the client–server model, a server is more likely to be devoted to the task of serving.
In computer science, interprocess communication (IPC) is the sharing of data between running processes in a computer system. Mechanisms for IPC may be provided by an operating system . Applications which use IPC are often categorized as clients and servers , where the client requests data and the server responds to client requests. [ 1 ]
Activity diagrams [1] are graphical representations of workflows of stepwise activities and actions [2] with support for choice, iteration, and concurrency. In the Unified Modeling Language, activity diagrams are intended to model both computational and organizational processes (i.e., workflows), as well as the data flows intersecting with the related activities.
This message may contain the client's Client ID (Option 61, containing a unique value, traditionally a MAC address), the IP address that the server is offering, the subnet mask, the lease duration, and the IP address of the DHCP server making the offer. The DHCP server may also take notice of the hardware-level MAC address (as specified in the ...
The Bolt Protocol (Bolt) is a connection oriented network protocol used for client-server communication in database applications. It operates over a TCP connection or WebSocket. Bolt is statement-oriented, allowing a client to send messages containing a statement consisting of a single string and a set of typed parameters.
Dia has special objects to help draw entity-relationship models, Unified Modeling Language (UML) diagrams, flowcharts, network diagrams, and simple electrical circuits. It is also possible to add support for new shapes by writing simple XML files, using a subset of Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) to draw the shape.
Ignition features cross-platform, web-based deployment through its integrated web server platform Perspective, [1] and also dedicated client software utilizing a Java Swing client called Vision. [2] The Ignition platform has three main components: the Ignition Gateway, the Designer , and the runtime clients .
Wayland is a communication protocol that specifies the communication between a display server and its clients, as well as a C library implementation of that protocol. [9] A display server using the Wayland protocol is called a Wayland compositor, because it additionally performs the task of a compositing window manager.
