  3. Master/Slave Networking • Early computers were large and expensive. • Purchasing only 1 computer per company • Controlling I/O devices at remote sites.

  4. Small Computer Use Networks To Interact • Personal computers had processing power and acted independently. • Resulting in: • Peer-to-peer networking • Distributed computing

  5. Peer-to-Peer Networking • Peer-to-Peer networking permit communication among computers in which all computers are equal.

  6. Distributed Computing • Distributed computing is any interaction that involves two or more computers communicating over a network.

  7. Distributed Computing On The Internet • The Internet offers amazing diversity of services. • Sending messages • Retrieving files • Printing documents • Also, diversity of styles of interaction. • Interacting with humans • Interacting with a computer program

  12. Conclusion • What are the advantages and disadvantages of the client-server scheme?

  13. Glossary • Client • A program that uses the Internet to contact a remote server • Client-Server Computing • The interaction between two programs when they communicate across a network

  14. Glossary • Distributed Computing • Computations involving more than one computer • Peer-to-Peer Networking • Any network system in which all computers are equal • Server • A program that offers a service
