Abstract
--------
This paper presents several patterns for distributing business
information systems that are structured according to a layered
architecture.  Each distribution pattern cuts the architecture into
different client and server components. All the patterns presented give
an answer to the same question: How do I distribute a business
information system? However, the consequences of applying the patterns
are very different with regards to the forces influencing distributed
systems design.
