Application Development Framework for the Rapid Integration of High Performance Image Processing Algorithms

Abstract

The application development framework (ADF) provided developers with a unique environment that supported the rapid integration and testing of image processing algorithms on high performance computers (HPCs). Using object-oriented middleware for the base of the system, along with Web technologies, allowed considerable flexibility in extending the system to a broad range of system development tools and components. The pub/sub system at the core of the ADF was the foundation that provided rapid system integration.
