Foil 44 Multi-purpose Bridge Technology -- Overview

From TANGO Applications -- C2, Education, HealthCare, Simulation CEWES HPC Collaborative Methods and Tools Meeting -- Februray 27 1997. by Geoffrey C. Fox, Marek Podgorny


1 Most of the real world WebTop Systems will involve multi-user collaboratory modules. Even for scientific computing, complex toolkits such as WebAMR will be most conveniently supported by interactive consultation between developers and users.
2 Collaboratory multi-user components will be further enhanced in enterprise, commerce and community systems.
3 This is illustrated in our recent telemedicine prototype for nursing triage. Here we start from the collaboratory component involving nurses, nurse practioners and pediatricians and add HPCC components such as medical imaging and agent based diagnosis.
4 We view the Bridge topology (Warner & Balch '95), underlying such telemedicine systems, as a promising generic framework, applicable also for other problem domains.
5 A generic bridge includes "points of need", "points of expertise" and intelligent middleware that manages information resources and provides connectivity between customers and optimal services.
  • Bridge point of expertise consistent with Anchor desk in JWID military exercises
