Abstract
Web-based applications that features intensive date manipulation, user-interaction and complicated business processing have been widely used especially in areas such as e-commerce. They are comparable to traditional GUI client/server applications in terms of functionality, structure and development activities but unique in the fact that they must use the web as an infrastructure for their deployment and execution. In this paper we present a procedure of deriving an architecture specific for web-based applications based on the analysis their features attributed to the uniqueness. We illustrate how this architecture accommodates the features and compare it with other commonly used architectures.
