Client/Server Systems

 $&bull#bullet;$
A Client/Server is a distributed system whereby the application is divided into at least two parts:
1
one or more servers perform one part
2
the other part is performed by one or more clients.
 $&bull#bullet;$
Modern programming languages provide constructs for building client/server-based distributed applications.
 $&bull#bullet;$
These applications are divided into clients and servers, which are allocated to different computers in a network.

In a database system, several clients send queries to the server that has access to the database.
 $&bull#bullet;$
The server executes the queries on behalf of the clients and sends each client its respective result.
