4.3 CREFEN web-based application<br />

CREFEN web-based application <strong>is</strong><br />

designed and will be implemented with <strong>the</strong><br />

goal of enabling European citizens to<br />

access, via <strong>the</strong> Internet, energy and<br />

performance information for 12 household<br />

appliances sold in <strong>Romania</strong>. The system <strong>is</strong><br />

based on information contained within <strong>the</strong><br />

Energy Label and its associated Sheet.<br />

The three-layered architecture was<br />

chosen. The presentation layer assumes that<br />

<strong>the</strong> user only needs a web browser to access<br />

all applications provided within <strong>the</strong> system.<br />

The second layer encompasses <strong>the</strong> server<br />

layer, both <strong>the</strong> web server preparing<br />

documents for <strong>the</strong> presentation layer and<br />

<strong>the</strong> server realizing au<strong>the</strong>ntication,<br />

authorization and ensuring integration with<br />

data layer. The data layer <strong>is</strong> a repository of<br />

all kinds of data ga<strong>the</strong>red <strong>by</strong> <strong>the</strong> system.<br />

The database <strong>is</strong> included in <strong>the</strong> third layer.<br />

The application <strong>is</strong> designed to perform<br />

<strong>the</strong> data supply and application layer onto<br />

<strong>the</strong> server side in <strong>the</strong> backend. Only <strong>the</strong><br />
