A _______________ defines a set of standards for components, including interface standards, usage standards, and deployment standards?

A. Component-based software engineering
B. Component composition
C. Component model
D. Component interfaces

Explanation: The implementation of the component model provides a set of common services that may be used by all components.

A. Component-based software engineering
B. Component composition
C. Component model
D. Component interfaces

Explanation: Component Interfaces are PeopleSoft’s way of exposing the business logic developed into Components for consumption by other areas of the system.

Which architecture is used when there is a high volume of transactions to be processed by the server ?

A. Multi-tier client–server architecture
B. Master-slave architecture
C. Distributed component architecture
D. Peer-to-peer architecture

Explanation: Multi-tier systems may be used when applications need to access and use data from different databases.

________________ depend on there being a clear separation between the presentation of information and the computations that create and process that information?

A. Master-slave architectures
B. Client–server systems
C. Two-tier client–server architecture
D. Both Master-slave architectures AND Client–server systems

Explanation: One should design the architecture of distributed client–server systems so that they are structured into several logical layers, with clear interfaces between these layers.

Which architecture are reliant on middle-ware ?

by
Which architecture are reliant on middle-ware ?

A. Multi-tier client–server architecture
B. Master-slave architecture
C. Distributed component architecture
D. Peer-to-peer architecture

Explanation: It allows the system designer to delay decisions on where and how services should be provided.
