Medical Image Dynamic Collaborative Processing on the Distributed Environment

A new trend in the development of medical image processing systems is to enhance the shar-ing of medical resources and the collaborative processing of medical specialists. This paper presents an architecture of medical image dynamic collaborative processing on the distributed environment by combining the JAVA, CORBA (Common Object Request and Broker Architecture) and the MAS (Multi-Agents System) collaborative mechanism. The architecture allows medical specialists or applications to share records and cornmunicate with each other on the web by overcoming the shortcut of traditional approach using Common Gateway Interface (CGI) and client/server architecture, and can support the remote heterogeneous systems collaboration. The new approach im-proves the collaborative processing of medical data and applications and is able to enhance the in-teroperation among heterogeneous system. Research on the system will help the collaboration and cooperation among medical application systems distributed on the web, thus supply high quality medical service such as diagnosis and therapy to practicing specialists regardless of their actual geo-graphic location.

Parallelized User Clicks Recognition from Massive HTTP Data Based on Dependency Graph Model

With increasingly complex website structure and continuously advancing web technologies,accurate user clicks recognition from massive HTTP data,which is critical for web usage mining,becomes more difficult.In this paper,we propose a dependency graph model to describe the relationships between web requests.Based on this model,we design and implement a heuristic parallel algorithm to distinguish user clicks with the assistance of cloud computing technology.We evaluate the proposed algorithm with real massive data.The size of the dataset collected from a mobile core network is 228.7GB.It covers more than three million users.The experiment results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm can achieve higher accuracy than previous methods.

Non-intrusive data-driven ROM framework for hemodynamics problems

Reduced order modeling(ROM)techniques are numerical methods that approximate the solution of parametric partial differential equation(PED)by properly combining the high-fidelity solutions of the problem obtained for several configurations,i.e.for several properly chosen values of the physical/geometrical parameters characterizing the problem.By starting from a database of high-fidelity solutions related to a certain values of the parameters,we apply the proper orthogonal decomposition with interpolation(PODI)and then reconstruct the variables of interest for new values of the parameters,i.e.different values from the ones included in the database.Furthermore,we present a preliminary web application through which one can run the ROM with a very user-friendly approach,without the need of having expertise in the numerical analysis and scientific computing field.The case study we have chosen to test the efficiency of our algorithm is represented by the aortic blood flow pattern in presence of a left ventricular(LVAD)assist device when varying the pump flow rate.

A Cloud Service Architecture for Analyzing Big Monitoring Data

Cloud monitoring is of a source of big data that are constantly produced from traces of infrastructures,platforms, and applications. Analysis of monitoring data delivers insights of the system＇s workload and usage pattern and ensures workloads are operating at optimum levels. The analysis process involves data query and extraction, data analysis, and result visualization. Since the volume of monitoring data is big, these operations require a scalable and reliable architecture to extract, aggregate, and analyze data in an arbitrary range of granularity. Ultimately, the results of analysis become the knowledge of the system and should be shared and communicated. This paper presents our cloud service architecture that explores a search cluster for data indexing and query. We develop REST APIs that the data can be accessed by different analysis modules. This architecture enables extensions to integrate with software frameworks of both batch processing（such as Hadoop） and stream processing（such as Spark） of big data. The analysis results are structured in Semantic Media Wiki pages in the context of the monitoring data source and the analysis process. This cloud architecture is empirically assessed to evaluate its responsiveness when processing a large set of data records under node failures.
