“…Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is an approach for organizing software in the form of independent, interoperable services that can be composed and recomposed to meet multiple requirements [21]. In the case of genome annotation, this translates into Genome clients to visualize genome data, a collection of sources providing genome annotations (SNPs, CNV, phenotypes, etc.)…”

This article aims to introduce the nature of data integration to life scientists. Generally, the subject of data integration is not discussed outside the field of computational science and is not covered in any detail, or even neglected, when teaching/training trainees. End users (hereby defined as wet-lab trainees, clinicians, lab researchers) will mostly interact with bioinformatics resources and tools through web interfaces that mask the user from the data integration processes. However, the lack of formal training or acquaintance with even simple database concepts and terminology often results in a real obstacle to the full comprehension of the resources and tools the end users wish to access. Understanding how data integration works is fundamental to empowering trainees to see the limitations as well as the possibilities when exploring, retrieving, and analysing biological data from databases. Here we introduce a game-based learning activity for training/teaching the topic of data integration that trainers/educators can adopt and adapt for their classroom. In particular we provide an example using DAS (Distributed Annotation Systems) as a method for data integration.

“…Line graphs were used for a general analysis of the time data (Cannata et al, 2014;Cito et al, 2015). To obtain a more detailed view of the processing times distribution, the histogram graph was used (Hsieh et al, 2012).…”

SMART: a service-oriented architecture for monitoring and assessing Brazil’s Telehealth outcomes

et al. 2018

Introduction: Brazilian Telehealth Program was instituted by the Ministry of Health in 2007. Its initial structure was composed by nine telehealth centers administered by public higher education institutions. No standards, processes, applications or quality indicators had been defined since its creation. All this, combined with the decentralization of the centers, led each one of them to develop their own system, with different programming languages and architectures. The lack of regulation and integration of the information with the Ministry of Health made it difficult to evaluate the program. In this context, this paper describes the specification, implementation and validation of an architecture, entitled SMART, to integrate the various telehealth platforms developed by the centers. Such architecture aims to standardize information so that the Ministry of Health can monitor and evaluate the results of Telehealth actions. Methods: SMART's architecture consists of four main components: a web tool for data manipulation; a web service to receive the center's production data; a component responsible for converting the received data into decision support data; and a component that collects data from external sources to compose the data warehouse. Results: The architecture was validated with performance tests, which were executed under extreme workloads. The results of the experiments were summarized in order to attest SMART's effectiveness. Conclusion: The analysis of the results obtained on real data shows that the project's performance remained stable under the workloads and its high quality was proven due to the absence of errors during the experiments.

“…The purpose of saving costs will also be achieved in the end of the IT project (Stav et al, 2013). In recent years, SOA has been widely applied in the medical field's information systems (Li, Wang, Lu, Lin, & Yen, 2012;Babamir & Arafard, 2012;Steurbaut et al, 2012;Chen et al, 2012;Hsieh, Hsieh, Cheng, & Lai, 2012;De Capua, Meduri, & Morello, 2010;Park & Nam, 2012). In addition to improving actual development efficiency, users perceive satisfaction from the system use.…”

Purpose -The caring approach for long-term care is different with the general care because it emphasizes comprehensive health care. If the system establishment lacks integrated concepts, the system will then be unsuitable. This study aims to develop an innovative system project based on the whole person concept and provides the experience for applying the concept of Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) to integrate different operations of the system which called U-care project.Method -This involves substituting the function module of the original system architecture with a service-based approach to provide a service interface. In addition, there must be a connection between the well-defined interface for the services and the formation of comprehensively integrated system architecture. Evaluations were 18 conducted both on the programmers of the U-care project and on end user experience form using the system.Results -The results describe our resulting functional design of the system. The implanted experience based on SOA was also presented and the services were success practice in a long term care institution.Conclusion -The contribution of this paper is the project functional design and practical feasibility. It also showed the SOA platform with a set of reusable domain function service is suitable for the long term care institution. It can support the actual improvement on the project development schedule and operational performance of personnel.Recommendations -Further work on emphasizing the establishment of domain knowledge by developers when developing long-term care related software to reduce difficulties in communication with users, refining the process applied to the SOA is recommended to improve the efficiency of the project.Research Implications -Service-oriented computing promotes the approach of assembling application components into a network of services that can be loosely coupled to create flexible, dynamic business processes and agile applications. Therefore, the architecture of service oriented uses services to support development teams can achieve rapid, low cost, interoperable, evolvable and massively distributed long term care system.
