application server         
1. <software> A designer's or developer's suite of software that helps programmers isolate the {business logic} in their programs from the platform-related code. Application servers can handle all of the application logic and connectivity found in client-server applications. Many application servers also offer features such as transaction management, clustering and failover, and load balancing; nearly all offer ODBC support. Application servers range from small footprint, web-based processors for intelligent appliances or remote embedded devices, to complete environments for assembling, deploying, and maintaining scalable multi-tier applications across an enterprise. 2. <software> Production programs run on a mid-sized computer that handle all application operations between browser-based computers and an organisation's back-end business applications or databases. The application server works as a translator, allowing, for example, a customer with a browser to search an online retailer's database for pricing information. 3. <hardware> The device on which application server software runs. Application Service Providers offer commercial access to such devices. {Citrix Application Serving White Paper (http://citrix.com/press/corpinfo/application_serving_wp_0700.pdf)}. {Application Server Sites, a list maintained by Vayda & Herzum (http://componentfactory.org/links/appl.htm)}. {The Application Server Zone at DevX, (http://appserver-zone.com/default.asp)}. {TechMetrix Research's Application Server Directory, (http://techmetrix.com/trendmarkers/techmetrixasd.php3)}.

Application server

An application server is a server that hosts applications or software that delivers a business application through a communication protocol.

An application server framework is a service layer model. It includes software components available to a software developer through an application programming interface. An application server may have features such as clustering, fail-over, and load-balancing. The goal is for developers to focus on the business logic.

Examples of use of application server
1. By making the application server software free to developers, who write programs and make possible Web services that work in conjunction with application server software, Sun hopes to increase further the number of Sun software developers.
2. The former makes application server software and other "middleware" that lets companies run their applications over the internet, directly rivalling IBM and Microsoft.
3. The network computer maker said that it will share the source code for its Java System application server software Platform Edition ', which enables Web services.
4. The troubled IT systems group said it would publish its Java Application Server on terms that allowed customers to use and alter the product free of charge, on condition that changes were shared with other users.
5. Advocates of open–source software development have urged Sun to release Java the technology that underpins its application server as well as being used extensively in web–based programming under an open–source licence.
