Abstract
Existing large-scale complex programs usually reside In a single computer, and the user has to be physically in contact with the computer. With the wide spread use of the internet, the need to carry out the design and analysis tasks geographically away from the main computer is increasing. In this paper existing Windows-based propeller design and analysis package is separated into the server-client modules and the protocol program is developed to implement the communication between multi-client computers and a single server computer. A new protocol packet is designed to use the Windows socket and the server/client programs control the receive/send operations using the information transmitted in the packet. Test runs show that the remote user, connected to the server computer through the internet only, can perform the required tasks.
