Abstract
Background: In health applications, and elsewhere, 3D data sets are increasingly accessed through the Internet. To reduce the transfer time while maintaining an unaltered 3D model, adequate compression and decompression techniques are needed. Recently, Grid technologies have been integrated with Web Services technologies to provide a framework for interoperable application-to-application interaction.Objectives. The paper describes an implementation of the Edgebreaker compression technique exploiting web services technology and presents a novel approach for using such services in a Grid Portal. The Grid portal, developed at the CACT/ISUFI of the University of Lecce, allows the processing and delivery of biomedical images (CT - computerized tomography - and MRI magnetic resonance images) in a distributed environment, using the power and security of computational Grids.Methods: The Edgebreaker Compression Web Service has been deployed on a Grid portal and allows compressing and decompress...I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione
