3 results about "Multilayered architecture" patented technology

A multilayered software architecture is a software architecture that uses many layers for allocating the different responsibilities of a software product. The "Layers" architectural pattern has been described in various publications. The terms "tier" and "layer" are often used interchangeably. Most experts recognize a distinction between the two, where 'tier' is used when representing the physical layout of the various mechanisms in a system's infrastructure, while 'layer' is used when representing the orientation of the different physical or conceptual elements that make up an entire software solution. For example, a three-layer solution could easily be deployed on a single tier, such as a personal workstation.
