Modelling the performance of a client/server database system
Heeseok Lee · International Journal of Systems Science · 1996
Abstract A client/server system has become the computing architecture for the business organization which seeks competitive edges. Technically, a client/server system places application processing close to the user and thus increases performance. This paper s two primary goals are to present a performance model for client/server database systems, and to demonstrate analytically the effectiveness of client/server computing in comparison with other computing architectures via an illustrative example. The model is most likely to be used as a practical performance guide for client/server computing.
