TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a client-server system where a local client computer provides a user interface to interact with at least one remote server computer which implements data processing in response to the local client computers.
Abstract: Client-server systems and methods for transferring data via a network, including a wireless network, between a server (61) and one or more clients (41) or browsers that are spatially distributed (i.e., situated at different locations). At least one local client computer provides a user interface to interact with at least one remote server computer which implements data processing in response to the local client computer. The user interface may be a browser or a thin client.

TL;DR: In this paper, a distributed data storage system for sharing data among client computers running different types of operating systems by separating metadata from data is presented. But the client computers communicate with the metadata servers using a Storage Tank protocol and over a control network.
Abstract: A distributed data storage system for sharing data among client computers running different types of operating systems by separating metadata from data. Data is stored in storage pools that are accessed by the client computers through a storage network. Metadata is stored in a metadata store and provided to the client computers by a cluster of metadata servers. The client computers communicate with the metadata servers using a Storage Tank protocol and over a control network. Each client computer runs an operating system-specific client program that provides the client side functions of the Storage Tank protocol. The client program preferably includes a file system interface for communicating with the file system in the storage system and user applications, a client state manager for providing data consistency, and a plurality of operating system services for communicating with the metadata servers.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a method and apparatus for transferring state information between a server computer system and a client computer system, which includes a processor and memory and a computer readable medium which stores program instructions.
Abstract: A method and apparatus for transferring state information between a server computer system and a client computer system. In one embodiment of the method, an http client requests a file, such as an HTML document, on an http server, and the http server transmits the file to the http client. In addition, the http server transmits a state object, which describes certain state information, to the http client. The http client stores the state object, and will typically send the state object back to the http server when making later requests for files on the http server. In a typical embodiment, the state object includes a domain attribute which specifies a domain or network address, and the state object is transmitted from the http client to a server only when the http client makes an http request to the server and the server is within the domain. In one embodiment, the apparatus includes a processor and memory and a computer readable medium which stores program instructions. In the case of the client system, the instructions specify operations such as receiving and storing the state information; in the case of the server system, the instructions specify operations such as sending the state information to a client system.

TL;DR: In this paper, a two-way data communication device utilizes a client module to transmit message including a resource selector chosen by the user to a server on a server computer on the computer network.
Abstract: A two-way data communication device such as a data ready cellular telephone, a two-way pager, or a telephone communicates via a two-way data communication network with a server computer on a computer network that has an interface to the two-way data communication network, i.e, is coupled to the two-way data communication network. For example, the computer network can be a corporate wide area network, a corporate local area network, the Internet, or any combination of computer networks. The two-way data communication device utilizes a client module to transmit message including a resource selector chosen by the user to a server on a server computer on the computer network. The server processes the message and transmits a response over the two-way data communication network to the client module. The client module interprets the response and presents the response to the user via a structured user interface. Alternatively, the user transmits a request that directs the server to transmit the response to the request to another location or to another user.

TL;DR: In this article, a system, method, and article of manufacture are provided for efficiently retrieving data from a server in a single call, where all of the data is bundled into a data structure by the server in response to the single call.
Abstract: A system, method, and article of manufacture are provided for efficiently retrieving data. A total amount of data required for an application executed by a client is determined. In a single call, the total amount of data from a server is requested over a network. All of the data is bundled into a data structure by the server in response to the single call. The bundled data structure is sent to the client over the network and the data of the data structure is cached on the client. The cached data of the data structure is used as needed during execution of the application on the client.
