Answer
  • Asynchronous communication
  • Caching
  • Multicast
  • Dual network interface

Question 8

Question
What is the goal of middleware?
Answer
  • Provide distribution transparency
  • Offer local services to remote clients
  • Hide differences between different systems
  • To provide network reliability

Question 9

Question
What are Hiding communication latencies, Distribution and Replication?

Question 10

Question
When latency is a problem, which technique should be used if asynchronous communication cannot be used?
Answer
  • Communication should be reduced
  • Compression should be used
  • You should make multiple concurrent requests while the user is waiting
  • You should upgrade the connection capabilities, eg. to get a gigabit connection

Answer
  • Migration
  • Location
  • Relocation
  • Transferral

Question 14
