GEMSS Project Details Consortium Reports & Presentations Software Collaboration

Objectives of the GEMSS project

Main Objectives

GEMSS has created an innovative Grid middleware that can be used to provide medical practitioners and researchers with access to advanced simulation and image processing services for improved pre-operative planning and near real-time surgical support. GEMSS builds on top of existing Grid and Web technologies, maintaining compliance with standards thereby ensuring future extensibility and interoperability. The project has created a test-bed to evaluate & validate the GEMSS environment, including its integration into the end-users working environments. The test bed provided support for sophisticated authorisation, workflow, security, error detection and recovery. Furthermore, GEMSS anticipated privacy, security and other legal concerns by examining and incorporating into its Grid services the latest laws and EU regulations related to providing medical services over the Internet. In summary, GEMSS

Key Milestones

The GEMSS test-bed included medical service applications, with varying performance and Quality of Service requirements, and a Grid services infrastructure. Medical science professionals have evaluated the different stages of the system:

Major Innovations

GEMSS has developed an interoperable, innovative Grid middleware for medical services applications building on common Grid standards. The focus was on innovative extensions that support medical applications including security models compliant with European legal issues, fail-over and recovery from errors as well as workflow and service orchestration techniques for time-critical processes.

The GEMSS middleware is available under the LGPL.
