The Architecture Of Deconstruction Pdf
Sim Van der RynIn his work, Sim shows us that buildings are not objects but organisms, and cities are not machines but complex ecosystems. Sim came to see the shifting patterns in nature and how these patterns profoundly affect how people live and work in the structures we build and he explores how architecture has created physical and mental barriers that separate people from the natural world, and how to recover the soul of architecture and reconnect with our natural surroundings.Appointed California State Architect by then-Governor Jerry Brown, Van der Ryn introduced the nation's first energy-efficient government building projects. His vision heralded a Golden Age of ecologically sensitive design and resulted in the adoption of strict energy standards and disability access standards for all state buildings and parks. Van der Ryn has helped inspire architects to see the myriad ways they can apply physical and social ecology to architecture and environmental design.

Architect — Sim Van der Ryn. Society without God: What the Least Religious Nations Can Tell Us About Contentment!Design for Life shows how the young architect began to look at the world with new eyes and saw the shifting patterns in nature and how these patterns profoundly affect how we live and work in the structures we build. Using his own projects and teaching experiences as examples, the author reveals the evolution of his thinking and the emergence of a new process of collaborative design that honors the buildings' users and connects them to the Earth.The book shows how architecture has created physical and mental barriers that separate us from our world, but how we can recover the soul of architecture and reconnect with our natural surroundings.
He taught architecture and design at the University of California, Berkeley, for over 30 years, inspiring a new generation to create buildings and communities that are sensitive to place, climate, and the flow of human interactions.

SWE Client-Server Architecture 15 Summary z Tow basic client-server architecture z 2-tier z Thin client: all of the application processing and data management is carried out on the server z Fat clients: run some or all of the application logic.Modern RDBMS products support fat servers through stored procedures, column rules, triggers, and other methods. A fat client embeds business logic in the application at the client level. Although a fat client is more flexible than a fat server, it increases network traffic. The fat client approach is used when business logic is loosely structured or when it is too complicated to implement at the middle-tier level. Additionally, fat client development tools, such as 4GL languages, sometimes offer more robust programming features than do middle-tier programming tools.Decision support and ad-hoc systems are often fat client based.
Processing is distributed among the client and server unlike the traditional PC database, the speed of DBMS is not tied to the speed of the workstation as the bulk of the database processing is done at the back-end. This also has the effect of reducing the load on the network that connects the workstation; instead of sending the entire database file back and forth on the wire, the network traffic is reduced to queries to and responses from the database server.Some database servers can even store and run procedures and queries on the server itself, reducing the traffic even more. Users are not limited to one type of system or platform. Users can continue to use familiar software to access the database, and developers can design front-ends tailored to the workstation on which the software will run, or to the needs of the users running them.For example, it is possible to upgrade the server to a more powerful machine with no visible changes to the end user. Transaction processing is a method by which the DBMS keeps a running log of all the modifications made to the database over a period of time.Since the server component holds most of data in a centralized location, multiple users can access and work on the data simultaneously. Since data is centralized, data management can be centralized.
Some of the system administration functions are security, data integrity and back up recovery. Applications can be created and implemented without much conversance with hardware and software. Thus, users may obtain client services and transparent access to the services provided by database, communications, and application servers.Introduction 21 x Masked physical data access: SQL is used for data access from database stored anywhere in the network, from the local PC, local server or WAN server, support with the developer and user using the same data request. The only noticeable difference may be performance degradation if the network bandwidth is inadequate.Logical tables can be accessed without any knowledge of the ordering of column. Several tables may be joined to create a new logical table for application program manipulation without regard to its physical storage format.
Users log into an application from the desktop with no concern for the location or technology of the processors involved.In the current user centered word, the desktop provides the point of access to the workgroup and enterprise services without regard to the platform of application execution. Standard services such as login, security, navigation, help, and error recovery are provided consistently amongst all applications. Developers today are provided with considerable independence. The developer of business logic deals with a standard process logic syntax without considering the physical platform.Computer hardware and software costs are on a continually downward spiral, which means that computing value is ever increasing. Hardware costs may be reduced, as it is only the server that requires storage and processing power sufficient to store and manage the application.Applications carry out part of the operations on the client and send only request for database access across the network, resulting in less data being sent across the network. In the case of a small network, the network administrator can usually handle the duties of maintaining the database server, controlling the user access to it, and supporting the front-end applications.However, the number of database server users rises, or as the database itself grows in size, it usually becomes necessary to hire a database administrator just to run the DBMS and support the front-ends.
Training can also add to the start-up costs as the DBMS may run on an operating system that the support personnel are unfamiliar with. There is also an increase in hardware costs.
It usually makes sense from the performance and data integrity aspects to have the database server running on its own dedicated machine.This usually means downloading a high-powered platform with a large amount of RAM and hard disk space. It is also harder to pinpoint problems when the worst does occur and the system crashes. It can take longer to get everything set up and working in the first place. This is compounded by the general lack of experience and expertise of potential support personnel and programmers, due to the relative newness of the technology.Making a change to the structure of database also has a ripple effect throughout the different front-ends. As in the case of X-Windows graphical user interface, the implementation comprises both client and server components that may run on the same and different physical computers.Client server is modular infrastructure, this is intended to improve Usability, Flexibility, Interoperability and Scalability.
Explain each with an example, in each case how it helps to improve the functionality of client server architecture. Explain the following. Describe atleast two advantages and disadvantages for each architecture.
Explain with a sketch. Differentiate between Stateful and Stateless servers.Describe three-level schema architecture.
Why do we need mapping between schema levels? Differentiate between Transaction server and Data server system with example. In client server architecture, what do you mean by Availability, Reliability, Serviceability and Security? Explain with examples. In the online transaction processing environment, discuss how transaction processing monitor controls data transfer between client and server machines. Data access requirements have given rise to an environment in which computers work together to form a system, often called distributed computing, cooperative computing, and the like.To be competitive in a global economy, organizations in developed economies must employ technology to gain the efficiency necessary to offset their higher labour costs.
Re-engineering the business process to provide information and decision-making support at points of customer contact reduces the need for layers of decision-making management, improves responsiveness, and enhance customer service.Empowerment means that knowledge and responsibility are available to the employee at the point of customer contact. Empowerment will ensure that product and services problems and opportunities are identified and centralized. For example, to remain competitive in a global business environment, businesses are increasingly dependent on the Web to conduct their marketing and service operations. Such Web-based electronic commerce, known as E-commerce, is very likely to become the business norm for businesses of all sizes.Some of them are: The world as a market. The effective factors that govern the driving forces are given below: The changing business environment: Business process engineering has become necessary for competitiveness in the market which is forcing organizations to find new ways to manage their business, despite fewer personnel, more outsourcing, a market driven orientation, and rapid product obsolescence.Due to globalization of business, the organizations have to meet global competitive pressure by streamlining their operations and by providing an ever-expanding array of customer services. Information management has become a critical issue in this competitive environment; marketing fast, efficient, and widespread data access has become the key to survival.
Unfortunately, the demand for a more accessible database is not well-served by traditional methods and platforms.The dynamic information driven corporate worlds of today require data to be available to decision makers on time and in an appropriate format. One might be tempted to urge that microcomputer networks constitute a sufficient answer to the challenge of dynamic data access.Globalization Conceptually, the world has begun to be treated as a market. Information Technology plays an important role in bringing all the trade on a single platform by eliminating the barriers. IT helps and supports various marketing priorities like quality, cost, product differentiation and services. The growing need for enterprise data access: One of the major MIS functions is to provide quick and accurate data access for decision- making at many organizational levels.Managers and decision makers need fast on-demand data access through easy-to-use interfaces. When corporations grow, and especially when they grow by merging with other corporations, it is common to find a mixture of disparate data sources in their systems.
For example, data may be located in flat files, in hierarchical or network databases or in relational databases.Given such a multiple source data environment, MIS department managers often find it difficult to provide tools for integrating and aggregating data for decision-making purposes, thus limiting the use of data as a company asset. Client server computing makes it possible to mix and match data as well as hardware. Introduction to Client/Server ArchitectureThe demand for end user productivity gains based on the efficient use of data resources: The growth of personal computers is a direct result of the productivity gains experienced by end-users at all business levels. End user demand for better ad hoc data access and data manipulation, better user interface, and better computer integration helped the PC gain corporate acceptance.With sophisticated yet easy to use PCs and application software, end user focus changed from how to access the data to how to manipulate the data to obtain information that leads to competitive advantages.
Trend towards open systems and adaptation of industry standards, which includes: PC application cost, including acquisition, installation, training, and use, are usually lower than those of similar minicomputer and mainframe applications.New PC-based software makes use of very sophisticated technologies, such as object orientation, messaging, and tele-communications. These new technologies make end users more productive by enabling them to perform very sophisticated tasks easily, quickly, and efficiently. The growing software sophistication even makes it possible to migrate many mission-critical applications to PCs.The pursuit of mainframe solutions typically means high acquisition and maintenance costs, and chances are that managers are locked into services provided by single source.In contrast, PC hardware and software costs have both declined sharply during the past few years. PC-based solutions typically are provided by many sources, thus limiting singlesource vulnerability.However, multi-source solutions can also become a major management headache when system problems occur. Enterprise Computing and the Network Management If a business is run from its distributed locations, the technology supporting these units must be as reliable as the existing central systems. Technology for remote management of the distributed technology is essential in order to use scarce expertise appropriately and to reduce costs.To maximize productivity by providing universal, up-to-date information the technology requirements are that computing technology must be widely deployed.
All computers must be networked together in a consistent architecture such that computing and networking resources must be reliable, secure, and capable of delivering accurate information in a timely manner.Maximum capture of information relating to the business and its customers must occur within every business process. That information must be normalized, within reach of all users.To achieve that, mechanics employed to locate, access the data and also for hiding the transmit data. And all the applications must be flexible to user preferences and work styles i.
See the Fig.Enterprise Computing 2. For example, the systems development approach, oriented towards the centralized mainframe environment and based on traditional programming language, can hardly be expected to function well in a client server environment that is based on hardware and software diversity.
In addition a modern end users are more demanding and are likely to know more about computer technology than users did before the PC made its inroads.Then the concerning manager should pertain their knowledge about new technologies that are based on multiple platforms, multiple GUIs, multiple network protocols, and so on.As a rule of thumb, managers tend to choose a tool that has a long-term survival potential. However, the selection of a design or application development tool must also be driven by system development requirements. Once such requirements have been delineated, it is appropriate to determine the characteristics of the tool that you would like to have.There is no single best choice for any application development tool.
Managers must choose a tool that fits the application development requirements and that matches the available human resources, as well as the hardware infrastructure. Chances are that the system will require multiple tools to make sure that all or most of the requirements are met.
Selecting the development tools is just one step. Making sure that the system meets its objectives at the client, server, and network level is another issue.In short, the plan requires an integrated effort across all the departments within an organization. The self-study will generate atleast the following. This blue print will address the main hardware and software issues for the client, server, and networking platforms. After identifying the pilot project, we need to define it very carefully by concentrating on the problem, available resources, and set of clearly defined and realistic goals.The project is described in business terms rather than technological jargon. When defining the system, we must make sure to plan for cost carefully. We should try to balance the cost carefully with the effective benefits of the system.
We should also make sure to select a pilot implementation that provides immediate and tangible benefits.For example, a system that takes two years to develop and another three to generate tangible benefits is not acceptable.We also need managerial commitment to ensure that the necessary resources people, hardware, software, money, infrastructure will be available and dedicated to the system. Careful network performance modelling is required to ensure that the system performs well under heavy end user demand conditions. Such performance modeling should be done at the server end, the client end, and the network layer.But what constitutes standards?
A standard is a publicly defined method to accomplish specific tasks or purposes within a given discipline and technology. Standards make networks practical. Open systems and Client-Server computing are often used as if they were synonymous. The existing costs are always high. There are quite a few organizations whose members work to establish the standards that govern specific activities. Thus databases and development tools, and Connectivity software become totally independent.Such mechanisms include password protection, encrypted smart cards.
Biometrics and firewalls. These result due to some bug in the software, due to which the system may be compromised into giving wrong performance.These may result when two different usages of a systems contradict over a security point. Of the above three, software security holes and inconsistent usage holes can be eliminated by careful design and implementation. For the physical security holes, we can employ various protection methods. These security methods can be classified into following categories: Software Agents and the Malicious Code Threat Software agents or mobile code are executable programs that have ability to move from machine to machine and also to invoke itself without external influence.Client threats mostly arise from malicious data or code. Malicious codes refers to viruses, worms a self-replicating program that is self-contained and does not require a host program.The program creates a copy of itself and causes it to execute without any user intervention, commonly utilizing network services to propagate to other host systems.
Virus is a code segment that replicates by attaching copies of itself to existing executables. The new copy of the virus is executed when a user executes the host programs.The virus may get activated upon the fulfilment of some specific conditions. This often allows a hacker to make complete transcript of network activity and thus obtain sensitive information, such as password, data, and procedures for performing functions. Encryption can prevent eavesdroppers from obtaining data traveling over unsecured networks.The common forms of this, are: A server may be rendered useless by sending it a large amount of illegitimate service requests so as to consume up its CPU cycle resource. In such a situation, the server may deny the service request of legitimate requests.It is a process of increasing the number of receiving processes running over the disk of the server by sending large files repeatedly after short intervals. This may cause disk crash. Medium tapping can do this.
Also read:A checker may gain access to a secure system by recording and later replaying a legitimate authentication sequence message. Packet reply can also be used to distort the original message. Using a method like packet time stamping and sequence counting can prevent this problem. Improved employee productivity. Improved company work flow and a way to re-engineering business operations. New opportunities to provide competitive advantages.Increased customer service satisfaction.
Such changes can be driven by technological advantages; government regulations, mergers and acquisitions, market forces and so on.A company that can adapt quickly to changes in its market conditions is more likely to survive than one that cannot. End users can manipulate and analyze such data on an ad hoc basis by means of the hardware and the software tools that are commonly available with client server environments.Quick and reliable information access enables end users to make intelligent decisions. Consequently, end users are more likely to perform their jobs better, provide better services, and become more productive within the corporation. Providing data access is just the first step in information management. Providing the right data to the right people at the right time is the core of decision support for MIS departments. These workgroup tools are used to route the forms and data to the appropriate end users and coordinate employee work.The existence and effective use of such tools allows companies to re-engineer their operational processes, effectively changing the way they do the business.
New Opportunities to Provide Competitive Advantages New strategic opportunities are likely to be identified as organizations restructure. By making use of such opportunities, organizations enhance their ability to compete by increasing market share through the provision of unique products or services.Proper information management is crucial within such a dynamic competitive arena. Increased Customer Service Satisfaction As new and better services are provided, customer satisfaction is likely to improve. Database and communications processing are frequently offloaded to a faster server processor.
Some applications processing also may be offloaded, particularly for a complex process, which is required by many users. The advantage of offloading is realized when the processing power of the server is significantly greater than that of the client workstation.Separate processors best support shared databases or specialized communications interfaces. Thus, the client workstation is available to handle other client tasks. These advantages are best realized when the client workstation supports multitasking or atleast easy and rapid task switching. The server can perform database searches, extensive calculations, and stored procedure execution in parallel while the client workstation deals directly with the current user needs.Several servers can be used together, each performing a specific function.
Servers may be multiprocessors with shared memory, which enables programs to overlap the LAN functions and database search functions. In general, the increased power of the server enables it to perform its functions faster than the client workstation.In order for this approach to reduce the total elapsed time, the additional time required to transmit the request over the network to the server must be less than the saving. High-speed local area network topologies operating at 4, 10, 16, or Mbps megabits per second provide highspeed communications to manage the extra traffic in less time than the savings realized from the server.The time to transmit the request to the server, execute the request, and transmit the result to the requestor, must be less than the time to perform the entire transaction on the client workstation. As workstation users become more sophisticated, the capability to be simultaneously involved in multiple processes becomes attractive.Independent tasks can be activated to manage communications processes, such as electronic mail, electronic feeds from news media and the stock exchange, and remote data collection downloading from remote servers. Personal productivity applications, such as word processors, spreadsheets, and presentation graphics, can be active.
Several of these applications can be dynamically linked together to provide the desktop information-processing environment.These links can be hot so that changes in the spreadsheet cause the word-processed document to be updated, or they can be cut and paste so that the current status of the spreadsheet is copied into the word-processed document. The complexity introduced by the integrated CASE environment requires multiple processes to be simultaneously active so the workstation need not be dedicated to a single long-running function.Effective use of modern CASE tools and workstation development products requires a client workstation that supports multitasking. This indicates that maximum resources are available to accepts all these new products. For the users, this means the realization of a single-system-image. With it all network resources present themselves to every user in the same way from every workstation See the Fig.The user environment with a desktop and often-used tools, such as editors and mailer, is also organized in a uniform way. The workstation on the desk appears to provide all these services.
In such an environment the user need not to bother about how the processors both the client and the server are working, where the data storage take place and which networking scheme has been selected to build the system. Users Technological Transparency Services Fig.
Single Image System Further desired services in single-system-image environment are: Management from single GUI and access to every resource is provided to each user as per their valid requirements.Single memory space e. Single Job Management e. Glunix, Codine, LSF. Single User Interface: Access to every application is provided through a standard security procedure by maintaining a security layer. Emphasis is given on only new business functions. Hence, single-system-image is the only way to achieve acceptable technological transparency.Security, scalability and administration costs are three of the key issues. For example, the simple addition of a new user can require the definition to be added to every server in the network.
Some of the visible benefits due to single-systemimage are as given below: The downward migrations of business applications are often from mainframes to PCs due to low costing of workstation.The result of that is Clients having power at the cost of less money, provides better performance and then system offers flexibility to make other download or to increase overall benefits. Getting the data from the system no longer refers to a single mainframe. The bottom-up trend of networking all the stand alone PCs and workstations at the department or work group level.Early LANs were implemented to share hardware printers, scanners, etc. But now LANs are being implemented to share data and applications in addition to hardware. This is called computer downsizing.Companies implementing business process reengineering are downsizing organizationally. This is called business downsizing.
All this would result in hundreds of smaller systems, all communicating to each other and serving the need of local teams as well as individuals working in an organization. This is called cultural downsizing. The net result is distributed computer systems that support decentralized decision-making.They believe that prototyping based on rapid application development tools make methodologies completely unnecessary. Is this true?If yes, should the methodologies be thrown away? The answer to all these questions depends on the scale and complexity of the application being developed. Small applications that run on a single desktop can be built within hours. The use of methodology in such cases can be waste of time.
However, bigger systems are qualitatively different, especially in term of their design process. Whenever, a system, particularly one involving a database, expands to include more than one server, with servers being located in more than one geographical location, complexity is bound to go up.Distributed systems cross this complexity barrier rapidly.
Write short notes on the following. Explain the following in detail: What is client server system development methodology? Explain different phases of System Integration Life-Cycle. In the client server environment, what are performance- monitoring tools for different operating system? What are the various ways to reduce network traffic of client server computing?The client and server components may not exist on distinct physical hardware. A single machine can be both a client and a server depending on the software configuration.The term architecture refers to the logical structure and functional characteristics of a system, including the way they interact with each other in terms of computer hardware, software and the links between them. This approach introduced a database server to replace the file server.
It improves multi-user updating through a GUI front-end to a shared database. File based database flat-file database are very efficient to extracting information from large data files.Each workstation on the network has access to a central file server where the data is stored. Multiple workstations will access the same file server where the data is stored. The file server is centrally located so that it can be reached easily and efficiently by all workstations. The original PC networks were based on file sharing architectures, where the server downloads files form the shared location to the desktop environment.The requested user job is then run including logic and data in the desktop environment. File sharing architectures work if shared usage is low, update contention is low, and the volume of data to be transferred is low.In the s, PC LAN Local Area Network computing changed because the capacity of file sharing was strained as the number of online users grew it can only satisfy about 12 users simultaneously and Graphical User Interfaces GUIs became popular making mainframe and terminal displays appear out of data. Users interact with the host through a terminal that captures keystrokes and sends that information to the host.Mainframe software architectures are not tied to a hardware platform.
A limitation of mainframe software architectures is that they do not easily support graphical user interfaces or access to multiple databases from geographically dispersed sites.The system includes mainly three components. The client is any computer process that requests services from server.
The client uses the services provided by one or more server processors. The client is also known as the front-end application, reflecting that the end user usually interacts with the client process.The server is any computer process providing the services to the client and also supports multiple and simultaneous clients requests. The server is also known as back-end application, reflecting the fact that the server process provides the background services for the client process. Middleware is used to integrate application programs and other software components in a distributed environment.
Also known as communication layer. Communication layer is made up of several layers of software that aids the transmission of data and control information between Client and Server.Communication middleware is usually associated with a network. Now as the definition reveals, clients are treated as the front-end application and the server as the back-end application, the Fig.Client 1 Client 2 Client Client N Network Server Fig.
Front-end and Back-end Functionality 3. The client process is providing the interface to the end users.
Communication middleware is providing all the possible support for the communication taking place between the client and server processes. Communication middleware ensures that the messages between clients and servers are properly routed and delivered.
Requests are handled by the database server, which checks the validity of the request, executes them, and send the result back to the clients.Some noticeable facts are: The client contacts a different server perhaps on a different computer for each service. The system comprises of the Back-end, Front-end Processes and Middleware. Back-end processes as: The communication middleware acts as the integrating platform for all the different components. The communication can take place between client to client and as well as server to server.These principles must be uniformly applicable to client, server, and to communication middleware components. Some of the main principles are as follows: Software independence. Open access to services. Process distribution.
Hardware independence: The principles of hardware independence requires that the Client, Server, and communication middleware, processes run on multiple hardware platforms IBM, DEC, Compaq, Apple, and so on without any functional differences. All client in the system must have open unrestricted access to all the services provided within the network, and these services must not be dependent on the location of the client or the server.A key issue is that the services should be provided on demand to the client. The division of the application-processing load must conform to the following rules: This property enables us to clearly define the functionality of each side, and it enhances the modularity and flexibility of the system.The client and server process must fully utilize the processing power of the host computers. In other words, to best utilize all resources, the server process must be shared among all client processes; that is, a server process should service multiple requests from multiple clients.Swapping a server process must be transparent the client process.
For example, standard must govern the user interface, data access, network protocols, interprocess communications and so on. Standards ensure that all components interact in an orderly manner to achieve the desired results.There is no universal standard for all the components.
The fact is that there are many different standards from which to choose.The point is to ensure that all components server, clients, and communication middleware are able to interact as long as they use the same standards. The client is proactive and will, therefore, always initiate the conversation with the server.The client includes the software and hardware components. The desirable client software and hardware feature are: Because client processes typically requires a lot of hardware resources, they should be stationed on a computer with sufficient computing power, such as fast Pentium II, III, or RISC workstations. A Multimedia system handles multiple data types, such as voice, image, video, and so on.Client processes also require large amount of hard disk space and physical memory, the more such a resource is available, the better. The client should have access to an operating system with at least some multitasking capabilities. Microsoft Windows 98 and XP are currently the most common client platforms.Therefore, the combination of hardware and operating system must also provide adequate connectivity to multiple network operating systems.
Fragmented Architecture
The reason for requiring a client computer to be capable of connecting and accessing multiple network operating systems is simple services may be located in different networks. The client application, or front-end, runs on top of the operating system and connects with the communication middleware to access services available in the network. Several third generation programming languages 3GLs and fourth generation languages 4GLs can be used to create the front-end application.The services provided by server are: For a LAN environment in which a computer with a big, fast hard disk is shared among different users, a client connected to the network can store files on the file server as if it were another local hard disk. For a LAN environment in which a PC with one or more printers attached is shared among several clients, a client can access any one of the printers as if it were directly attached to its own computer.When the client finishes the printing job, the data is moved from the hard disk on the print server to the appropriate printer. This requires at least one server equipped internally or externally with a fax device.The client PC need not have a fax or even a phone line connection. Instead, the client submits the data to be faxed to the fax server with the required information; such as the fax number or name of the receiver. The fax server will schedule the fax, dial the fax number, and transmit the fax.
What is client-server architecture and what are its types?The fax server should also be able to handle any problems derived from the process. That let the client PCs connected to the communications server access other host computers or services to which the client is not directly connected.For example, it is possible to upgrade the server to a more powerful machine with no visible changes to the end user.
Transaction processing is a method by which the DBMS keeps a running log of all the modifications made to the database over a period of time.Since data is centralized, data management can be centralized.
