Subject: 3.3 What are the different client/server processing styles?
From: Ravi Kalakota <kalakota at uhura.cc.rochester.edu>

Gartner group came out with the five ways of describing the different c/s
styles based on how they split the three components of any application:
user interface, business or application logic, data management. The five
styles are distributed presentation, remote presentation,  distributed
function, remote data management, and distributed data management.

(Note: This is an arbitary classification and others may do it differently)
