1The four general functions of any application program are: data storage, data access logic, application logic and presentation logic.
- ATrue
- BFalse
2How are the application architecture functions split up in a client-server network?
- Athe presentation logic and data storage are on the client, while the data access logic is on the server
- Bthe data storage, data access, and presentation logic are on the client
- Cthe presentation logic is on the client, while the data storage and data access logic are on the server
- Dthe data storage and data access logic are on the client, while the presentation logic are on the server
- Ethe presentation logic and data access logic are on the client, and the data storage is on the server
3_________ is an application program function that deals with storing and retrieving data.
- Adata access logic
- Bapplication access storage
- Cpresentation logic
- Dapplication logic
- Edata storage
4A ________ is a group of computers linked together so that they act as one computer.
- Atransaction terminal
- Bhandheld
- Ccluster
- Dnetwork computer
- Emainframe
5Scalability refers to the ability to increase or decrease the capacity of the computing infrastructure in response to changing capacity needs.
- ATrue
- BFalse
6A “thin client” approach places most of the application logic on the client.
- ATrue
- BFalse
7The two functions of middleware are to: 1) provide a standard way of communicating that can translate between software from different vendors, and 2) manage the message transfer between clients and servers so that clients do not need to ‘know’ which server contains the application’s data.

- Amicrocomputer
- Bmainframe
- Cworkstation
- Dcluster
- Etransaction terminal
10One underlying problem with a host-based network is that:
- Aclients (terminals) do not require sophisticated hardware/software because they do not perform most of the work in this type of architecture
- Bthe architecture is relatively simple and works well
- Cthe server can get overloaded since it must process all messages
- Dthe server is the one point of control which simplifies security
- Ethere are economies of scale because all computer resources are centralized
