Abstract
The computational viewpoint of the OpenLabs(1) architecture specificat ion concentrates on the definition of the functional interfaces betwee n the logical modules that make up the clinical laboratory as defined in the enterprise and information viewpoints, A method is presented wh ich transforms the information models into a specification written in Abstract Syntax Notation One (ASN,1). It is then shown how the specifi cation can be translated into an Interface Definition Language (IDL) o f a 'middleware' product which can then be compiled for implementation on a distributed system.
