A communication framework for heterogeneous distributed pattern analysis
Gernot A. Fink, Nils Jungclaus, Helge Joachim Ritter, Gerhard Sagerer · 2002
Unlike in traditional approaches to parallel or distributed processing where normally well structured problems are implemented completely in some programming environment we are faced with the problem of integrating existing heterogeneous software systems. Furthermore, pattern analysis stresses special aspects of communication capabilities. Therefore, we propose a new communication framework dedicated to heterogeneous pattern analysis systems that handles typed structured data, enables completely symmetric interaction, and provides various call semantics. A first prototype evaluating some of the concepts in practical situations is presented.>
