A New Architecture for Integration of Heterogeneous Software Components
T. Timmers, Jan H. van Bemmel, Erik M. van Mulligen · Methods of Information in Medicine · 1993
An architecture is described that integrates existing applications in a network-wide system. The architecture follows the new open software paradigm, and defines kernel and application services that collaboratively solve the tasks of end-users and provide them with an intuitive user-interface. This paper describes the message language and the kernel mechanism for addressing application services. The architecture has been developed as much as possible to conform with current standards.
