ABSTRACT

We suggest the Distributed Programming Developing Tool (DPD-Tool) based on the Distributed Object Group Framework (DOGF) for developing healthcare applications.

In the DOGF, we consider the grouped objects configured distributed application as a healthcare application group. For conveniently developing healthcare applications, the DPD-Tool includes 3 modules between the DOGF and application developers; object group administrator’s module, server program developer’s module, and client program developer’s module.

Finally using above environments, we developed healthcare applications and showed the executing result of DPD-Tool in viewpoint of server program developer.


1. Introduction (1/2)

Researching motivation With the progress of the computing environments,

The distributed systems have been using For sharing distributed resources. For providing critical-mission services like healthcare, telematics, and so

on .

For improving availability of distributed resources, Distributed system environments are required the complicated interactions amo

ng resources.

Needs of our research To solve the complicated interactions through effective management o

f distributed resources, like object group management. To provide simple binding and real-time strategies for increasing the

availability of distributed resources.


1. Introduction (2/2)

Our research

Using Object Group Model We have been developed the Distributed Object Group Framework(DOGF).

Over the DOGF Developing Took-kit for conveniently implementing distributed applications u

sing 3 GUIs for an object group administrator, Server programming developers, and Client programming developers.

2. DPD-Tool based on DOGF (1/2)

DPD-Tool of Healthcare Applications Supports functionalities of the DOGF via application interfaces for

conveniently developing distributed healthcare applications.

3 Modules of DPD-Tool The object group administrator’s module

Manages the total developing environment of distributed application.

The server program developer’s module The group register/withdraw and the access right of objects of server program.

The client program developer’s module Supports the developing environment of the client program.

By using these modules, The distributed application developers can conveniently use the supports

provided from the DOGF.

3. Development of Healthcare Application using DPD-Tool

We use the modules supported by DPD-Tool. Step 1: server program developers implement server programs and

register the server objects in Information Repository of DOGF by using Server Programming Developer GUI.

Step 2-3: client program developer searches the group information including server objects’ properties and requests their access rights to an DOGF for invoking service objects needing. Then he develops distributed program using the granted service objects.

Step 4: obtaining the server object’s reference from the DOGF Step 5: client program requests the service to the server object.

4. Conclusions We developed the Distributed Programming Developing Tool(DP

D-Tool) for distributed healthcare application. The Tool consists of 3 modules.

Object group administrator. For managing environment.

Server program developer. For providing developing environment.

Client program developer. For providing developing environment.

This Tool is based on the DOGF for distributed application services. To supports distributed application services.

Naming service. Dynamic binding service. Replication service. Load balance service.


5. Future Works

In future works We are to study the Healthcare Home Service Framework integrating

with healthcare sensors, biosensors, and medical information systems on the ubiquitous computing environments.
