Abstract

The work described in this paper presents a distributed software architecture for accessing high performance and parallel computing resources from web applications. The architecture is designed for the case of medical image processing, although the concept can be extended to many other application areas. Parallel computing algorithms for medical image segmentation and projection are executed remotely through Web services as being local. Ubiquity and security on the access and high performance tools have been the main design objectives. The implementation uses the Application Service Provision model, of increasing importance in the exploitation of software applications. The system is under clinical validation and considers all the industrial and de-facto standards in medical imaging (DICOM, ACR-NEMA, JPEG2000) and distributed processing (CORBA, Web Services, SOAP).
