Define Server Processing with Queues

The efficient server processing of client request is essential for optimized client- server applications. This process is greatly enhanced through efficient use of queues. Both local and distributed network queues accelerate the processing of client- initiated network events. Queues naturally model to a message - components interface, as messages passed between systems are processed by queues. Queues, however, are not limited to messages and can be used to process procedural- based application distribution as well.

Queues are used at all levels of server component execution. Potentially, they are used by the interface as well as by the communications, acceptance, and dispatch mechanisms that a client server interaction must introduce. As such efficient mechanisms for queues either local or network- based are essential to the server application developer.
