The MedIGrid PSE in an LCG/gLite environment

Abstract

In this paper we are concerned with improvements and enhancements of a medical imaging grid-enabled infrastructure, named MedIGrid, oriented to the transparent use of resource-intensive applications for managing, processing and visualizing biomedical images. We describe an implementation of the MedIGrid PSE in an LCG/gLite environment. Wepsilall mainly focus on how to exploit the features of the new middleware environment to improve the efficiency and the services reliability of the PSE; further, some comments will be devoted to how to modify, extend and/or improve the underlying numerical components.
