a machine or process serving as the client in a client-server relationship which typically requests information or services from a server and handles user interface chores itself
A system entity that requests and uses a service provided by another system entity, called a "server." In some cases, the server may itself be a client of some other server.
This is the general term that can mean a few things. In the client/server architecture, a client consists of any machine connected to a network that exchanges data with a server, and can also refer to the person using the machine.
the browser on the user's system that is requesting pages from a host system. The term is often used to describe the person using the browser, the person you are trying to reach with your message.

Metadata for entity: configuration A client is a system that accesses a (remote) service on another computer by some kind of network. The term originated from devices that were not capable of running their own stand-alone programs, but could interact with remote computers via some network.

Picture the Web as a business, with yourself as the client. You ask the Web for certain services and the Web provides them. Now just substitute the word "server" for "business," and you'll understand client/server communications. Client software interprets the information servers send out. Your browser (and most other Internet applications for that matter: E-Mail, FTP, Telnet, etc...) is a piece of client software. Clients send queries to various servers on the Internet for information. The servers serve the information to your computer, where your client software interprets it. In other words, client software handles sending and receiving on your end, server software sends and receives on the Internet's end. Unless you're an Internet Service Provider, chances are every piece of software you use for exploring the Web is a client.[See Also: Server

Client-Server Architecture: An information-passing scheme that works as follows: a client program, such as Mosaic, sends a request to a server. The server takes the request, disconnects from the client and processes the request. When the request is processed, the server reconnects to the client program and the information is transferred to the client. This architecture differs from traditional Internet databases where the client connects to the server and runs the program from the remote site.

A second refers to the way some subsystems define requirements for other subsystems (see Client/Service relationship). A third meaning is in the context of DbC where the sender of a message is a client of the contract for the receiver's responsibility. In OOA/D this should be a generic view of client rather than the "Do This" paradigm of procedural programming where one function directs another to do something specific (i.e., the message sender understands the solution context enough to know what needs to be done next in the overall problem solution). In other words, the developer is responsible for ensuring contracts are met when defining messages, not the sender implementation.

When you use Fetch, your Macintosh is acting as the client computer.

a program that is used in conjunction with a server to deliver information remotely (rather than having to use the server directly). Using clients and servers is one of the key things that makes the Internet work, and is called distributed computing (where the horsepower required to use programs is distributed among all the remote computers where the client programs live rather than all being on the server's shoulders). Contrast this with the idea of a mainframe, where you need to log in and use that computer's resources rather than offloading part of the work to your own computer.

Typically a client is an application that runs on a personal computer and relies on a server to perform some operations. In client-server architecture client software handles sending and receiving on your end while server software handles sending and receiving on the Internet's end.
