Client / Server Computing and Modern DBMS'''' Architectures
Client／Server计算与现代DBMS的体系结构

Presently, both the Client/Server computing and Multimedia are in the fashion, just like Object-Orientation is a few years ago. Client/Server has implications in computer network, hard-ware, software and mordern DBMS'(especially OODBMS') architectures, so makes some confu- sion. This paper first proceeds from the coarse implications of the Client/Server computing, to a comparatively deep discussion of the Client/Server architecture, and then to a more systematic survey of the mordern architectures of OODBMSs, which have potential benefits to supporting multimedia and engineering applications.
