The Common

Two tele-oncology projects have been in progress since 1997 in the Province of Trento in north-east Italy. The common aim of the projects concerns the design and the implementation of a non-surgical tele-oncology system intended to provide a flexible computing environment for the joint management of oncology patients in a wide-area network. The two projects involve both hospital specialists and general practitioners treating oncological patients. The first phase of the project involves the design and implementation of the oncology teleconsultation service.

Abstract Distributed parallel computing using message-passing techniques on Networks of Workstations (NOW) has achieved widespread use in the context of Local Area Networks (LAN). Recently, the concept of Grid-based computing using Wide Area Networks (WAN) has been proposed as a general solution to distributed high performance computing. The use of computers and resources at different geographic locations connected by a Wide Area Network and executing a real application introduces additional variables that potentially complicate the efficient use of these resources. Presented here are the results of a study that begins to characterize the performance issues of a WAN-based NOW, connecting resources that span an international border.
