a list describing rights granted or denied to users, groups, and computers for accessing network resources

a directory service and security system built into Windows Server

the software layer that carries out the rules and procedures of business processing

the interconnection of a company's information systems with customer and supplier information systems to improve efficiency

a program or computer that requests services from another program or computer

a method of organization software to provide and access distributed information and computing resources; divides software into two classes-client and server

a cloud-based approach to distributing and accessing software and hardware services across the Internet

an industry-wide interoperability standard specifying the middleware that objects use to interact across networks

a standardized, interchangeable softwaer module that's executable, has a unique indentifier, and has a well-known interface

a Microsoft specifications for component interoperability; defines component registration, message-routing services, and a component communication protocol

the software laer that manages stored data, usually in the databases

middleware that stores the name and network address of distributed resources, responds to directory queries, accepts directory updataes, and synchronizes directory copies

spreading parts of an information system across many computer systems and locations

a standard for distributed OS services defined by the Open Group Standard; covers network directory services, file-sharing services, RPC, remote thread execution, system security, and distributed resource management

a name-resolution protocol used on the Internet; makes use of dynamic connections to find requested IP addresses

a more complex, but flexible, approach to remote resource access, in which connections between a client and a server or remote resources aren't established until the time of the access request

Java components that run in a business container on a server; capable of performing complex, behind-the-scenes processing

an extension of HTML that describes the structure, format, and content of documents

an older Web protocol that specifies a client/server request and resource language for copying files from one Internet host to another

a secure version of HTTP that encrypts HTTP requests and responses

a device-independent formatting languages that describes Web document and how servers respond to those requests

a Web protocol that specifies the language by which clients request documents and how servers respond to those requests

a cloud-based architectural approach similar to PaaS, in which customers can configure application and system software for a generic platform as virtual servers and then deploy these servers to a third-party hosting site; often used to provide back-end storage services and large-scale computing infrastructures for running complex simulations

a global collection of networks interconnected with TCP/IP

a component message-passing protocol in CORBA

a protocol that extends POP3 to permanently store and manage e-mail messages on the server, which enables users to access stored e-mail from any Internet host

an internal private network that uses Internet protocols but is accessible only by a limited set of internal users; also describes privately accessible resources that are organized and delivered via one or more Web protocols over a TCP/IP network

a family of standards for developing and deploying component-based distributed applications written in Java; follows a three-layer architecture, with the client, Web/business, and data tiers

Java components that enable developers to create user interfaces that run on a server but interact with a client Web browser or component

Server-side Java components that generate formatted Web pages by using embedded scripts

a security model that defines standard interactions between clients, services, and a trusted security service

an Internet standard for directory services, based on the X.500 standard and adopted by the Internet Engineering Task Force

a characteristic of software and user interfaces meaning that local and remote resources are accessed in the same way

system software that "glues" together parts of a client/server or multier application and enables clients and servers or distributed components to locate and communicate with one another

a protocol that's an extension of SMTP; enables including nontext content in e-mail messages

a client/server architecture with more than three layers; used when processing requirements or data resources are complex

a pipe with a name that's placed permanently in a file system directory; can communicate between processes on different computers

a CORBA service that maintains a component directory and routes messages between components

an LDAP concept that defines attributes common to all members of a class

a software architecture in which the roles of client and server are combined into a single application or group of related application

a region of shared memor through which mulitple processes executing on the same computer can exchange data; used for communicating betwen OS components, queuing requests to an OS service, and exchanging messages between program components

a cloud-based architectural approach in which an organization rents access to system software and hardware on which it installs its own application software and other services

a protocol that standardizes the interaction between e-mail clients and servers so that client and server can run on different Internet hosts; e-mails are held on the server temporarily, downloaded to the client when a connection is established, and then deleted from the server

a protocol that enables a process on one computer to call a process on another computer

a database, maintained the resource locator, containing the names and locations of known resources and services on a network

an improved version of Telnet that encrypts data between client and server to address a major security issue in Telnet

a design philosophy under which operating systems and some application software are constructed as a set of services that can be accessed by both internal and external users and software components

the earliest e-mail protocol; defines how text messages are forwarded and routed between Internet hosts

an open standard, developed by the World Wide Web Consortium; has a simple programming interface and few infrastructure requirements

a Web-based or cloud-based architectural approach in which users interact via a Web browser or other Web-enabled view laer with application software provided by a third party and installed on the provider's hardware

a mapping between a local resource name and a remote resource that must be initialized before use

a Web protocol in which users on one Internet host can interact with another host's OS command layer; it emulates a VDT and is limited to interacting with command-line interfaces

a variation of client/server architecture that divides software into three client or server processes called layers: the view layer, the business logic layer, and the data layer

a unique identification for a Web resource, composed of a protocol, host, port, and resource

the software layer that accepts user input and formats and displays processing results

• referred to as just "the Web,"
• a collection resources that can be accessed over the Internet by standard protocols, such as HTTP
