Client/server service mechanisms in BECOTS

Abstract

This paper addresses the issues and solutions relating to client/server service mechanisms in such a typical application as BECOTS, the computerized future trading system for Beijing Commodity Exchange. The centralized processing is traditionally used in the implementation of commercial trading applications. However, client/server technology is regarded as a better solution. In this paper, we identify the issues involved. Then we discuss the solutions from the architecture viewpoint. Finally, we explore the various client/server interaction models in BECOTS.
