A Jini service to reconstruct tomographic data

Distributed computing that uses dynamic networks will change the way we wor k and communicate thanks to the interaction of devices and services, that a re automatically added and removed from the network as needed. The Jini tec hnology, which is built atop the Java programming language, provides a homo genous view of the network and extends the ability of code to migrate in Ja va. This software design model simplifies the configuration and access to h ardware devices and software services in a network. Thus, it becomes possib le to execute new services without pre-installing software on client machin es. This new programming paradigm is especially important in medical applic ations, where the reliable transmission of information is essential. This p aper demonstrates how single photon emission computerized tomography data c an he iteratively reconstructed using a Jini service.
