Client-server computing is a computing where the server provides a service or a function to the clients which initiates the request for the services. It is a distributed computing model. The server is the host machine which can access the requests from many clients, but a client can only request a servers content or a service function.

Many business applications make use of client-server model.
Sequence diagrams are used for the description of the interactions between the clients and the server. These sequence diagrams are supported by Unified Modelling Language(UML).
