:: Biomedical Imaging Grid Project

BIG (Biomedical Imaging Grid) is a web-based Grid project of the ISUFI/CACT, University of Lecce, developed for the management of biomedical images in a grid environment. The BIG portal building on top of the Globus Toolkit, allows an interactive environment that deals with complex user's requests, regarding the acquisition of biomedical data coming from CT instruments, their 3D reconstruction and “delivering“ as biomedical images, using the power and security of computational grids. Recently, Grid technologies are being integrated with Web Services technologies to provide a framework for interoperable application-to-application interaction.

In this talk we present the BIG architecture based on the Web Services approach and its main functionalities. In such a system, the basic capabilities are encapsulated and exposed as Web Services allowing the development of new health applications as a composition of such services.
