Virtualization and Client-Server Technology

Exforsys
Virtualization and Client-Server Technology The Virtualization Trend One of the biggest trends in information technology is towards virtualization. Virtualization broadly refers to the abstraction of computer resources. This often makes them appear and perform more powerfully than they would otherwise. It accomplishes this by concealing the physical characteristics of a resource (be it an operating system, storage device, server, or application) from the other systems interacting with it. It is really sort of a shape-shifter. For example, it can make any one of the single computer resources mentioned previously and… Read More

Client-Server Trends for 2007 The Connection Between Computers and Network Applications Client-server technology describes the relationship between computers and programs on a network. For the purposes of this article, unless otherwise specified, clients and servers will refer to programs and it is important to remember that these programs can function partially during a request. In traditional client-server technology, a client initiates a request from a server. The server processes the request and delivers the response to the client. This process can take place within a single machine that contains both… Read More

XML and Service Oriented Architecture SOA or service oriented architecture is a procedure carried out to attain coupling between the loose elements in software agents. Service oriented architecture has to be treated like an environment rather than a procedure or programs because it is literally present everywhere.

The difference here is in object oriented programming the data comes with its own… Read More

NLP Metaphors Introduction A metaphor is a representation used for explaining a concept in terms of some other concept. Usually it helps us understand something that is not commonly known in terms of something that we are familiar with. A metaphor is therefore a denotation in terms of some other item. For example, when we say, “Her face was as pink as a rose”, it indicates how rosy her face looked. Since we know how a rose looks, we can relate to it and better understand the nature of the… Read More

Client-Server Security

Exforsys
Client-Server Security Why Client Server Environments are so Popular Client-server environments are popular because they increase application processing efficiency while reducing costs and gaining the maximum benefit from all resources working together. These benefits are gained by splitting processing between the client machine/software and server machine/software. Each process works independently but in cooperation and compatibility with other machines and applications (or pieces of applications). All independent processing must be performed to complete the requested service. Cooperation of application processing produces another client-server advantage, it reduces network traffic. Since each node… Read More

NLP Language Hierarchy and Thinking Continuum

NLP Language Hierarchy and Thinking Continuum Introduction We use words as tools for putting forth our ideas, explaining concepts or expressing feelings and emotions. The words we use can be extremely specific in nature or most general, or can be in the continuum in between. Neuro-linguistic Programming defines the Meta model, where precise, detailed language is used to convey information. In contrast, the Milton model of Neuro-linguistic Programming is ‘artfully vague’ and uses more broader terms to interpret the internal map. However, in our daily lives, our language is not… Read More

Client-Server Technology : Thin Clients The Role of Client Computers In client-server technology, a client computer uses its software programs to make requests from server computers over a network. The server computers then process the request and handle delivery back to the client. However, the server may turn into a client if it formulates a service request to forward to another server, say, a database server. Clients and servers connected on a network are also referred to as nodes. Clients can send requests to more than one server. The most… Read More

However, our language also plays a significant role in effective communication. It embodies not just the vocabulary we use in our dialect, which is around seven percent of the communication, but also the language we use in our brain. Every word we use has an impact on the communication and individual words can carry deep meanings. Often we find that the meaning behind a word is different for different people.

This is because while a theory provides explanation on why a system works, Neuro-linguistic Programming does not do this. A model is a simple step-by-step description on how to use the model. That does not indicate that NLP has no theoretical underpinnings. NLP simply does not try to defend or validate these theories. Neuro-linguistic Programming assumes a certain set of ideology and declares the presuppositions used. The primary presuppositions of Neuro-linguistic Programming were formulated… Read More

NLP Anchoring Introduction Neuro-linguistic Programming defines anchoring as an internal or external representation that will trigger another representation. It relies on the Stimulus-Response concept, where a particular stimulus will elicit a memory, behavior or feeling. The Neuro-linguistic Programming cofounders Bandler and Grinder found a practical application for classical conditioned responses by using the anchor or the triggering stimulus to move experiences around in time and space. Human beings generate different internal and external responses in terms of states, behaviors, thoughts and feelings in accordance to a particular stimulus. Some of… Read More
