Service oriented architecture based web application model for col-laborative biomedical signal analysis

Abstract

The rapid growth in availability of new biomedical systems and devices capable of acquiring biosignals for disease diag-nosis and health monitoring require rigorous processing. Biomedical research by nature depends on integrated problem solving software environment and often involves people located at different geographical positions. The reusability of different personalized tools are limited due to the complex architectural constrains and restricted interoperability among different devices mostly requiring individual tools. Thus, new computational environments are required to provide ro-bust, user friendly, and scalable systems capable of interoperate seamlessly. This work proposes a service oriented archi-tecture (SOA) based web application model for collaborative biosignal analysis and research to facilitate the seamless integration of various existing tools and different Health Information Systems. © 2012 by Walter de Gruyter Berlin Boston.
