Medical Systems Concepts and Architectures
|
The staff in the Medical Systems Concepts and Architectures Section of Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) provide expertise in the design and development of information system architectures. Core competencies include designing and developing architectures that are:
Distributed
N-tier
Service oriented
Component based
Architectures may involve the following technologies:
Thick clients
Thin clients
Middle tiers with varying capabilities
Data tiers based on a variety of relational database management systems
Based on customer desires and system requirements, architectures can be optimized to scale up or scale out. Redundancy and robustness can be designed into the architecture to the level appropriate for the application. The architecture for a specific application can be based on a customer's enterprise architecture.
The staff also aid customers in the development of enterprise architectures and in updating architectures to take advantage of the distributed nature of today's computing environment.
