The present invention concerns a three-tiered network architecture used for increasing the adaptability of a processing network and reducing the computational complexity of the processing network. Prior art systems have integrated too many of the functions of the system into a large central processing system. This large central processing system has then become unwieldy to manage and to update to be compliant with new data formats due to the need to re-programme and re-compile the entire central processing system. Data that requires manipulation prior to transmission between programs is manipulated in a stand-alone data connection unit. These data connection units can be used in conjunction with a central processing system to provide an easily adaptable system in which any new data formats are taken care of with a new data connection unit and the existing central processing system. It is far easier to program a new data connection unit than to re-program the large central processing system.
