The present invention relates to a client configured to operate in a
client-server network. The client includes a memory unit and a
communication module configured to drive a transmission connection
connecting the client and a server, wherein a predefined server
configuration, being transferred from the server to the client, is loaded
in the client. The client also includes an application module configured
to participate in the execution of an application, wherein the client
simulates a server configuration by reproducing a server functionality
such that the application is self-dependently executable on the client
without connection to the server.
