Today, a typical telemedicine system involves a small set of hospitals providing remote healthcare services to a small section of the society using nodal centers, mobile health units, etc. However, the benefits of a telemedicine system increase with scale. One of the key requirements of such a large scale system is to allow large numbers of patient medical records, in the form of electronic files, to be efficiently stored and accessed from widely distributed locations. In this paper, we address the need for a distributed file system to manage patient data in large scale telemedicine systems. We use the resources of unreliable Internet edge nodes distributed among hospitals, labs, etc., to provide reliable file system services to patients and doctors. Besides building an Internet-based system that scales with the number of nodes and files, we also attempt to optimize record access times for doctors to provide timely responses.
The concept of using Internet edge nodes for High Performance Computing (HPC) applications has gained acceptance in recent times. Many of these HPC applications also have large I/O requirements. Consequently, an edge ...

Some of the key issues in building services for large scale distributedsystems, realizing Vishwa, a peer-to-peer (P2P) middleware architecture for developing grid applications are discussed. Researchers are producing large amounts of scientific data and believe that distributed computations on the data must be scheduled and available to a large number of scientists. It is suggested that the platform must scale up to a large number of nodes and data units in the system and must also be scalable geographically. A scalable, reconfigurable shared-object space over the two-layer architecture can be developed that incorporates mechanisms to maintain replicated data and must also provide a shared-object abstraction over a wide-area distributed system.
A role paradigm conformance model (RPCM) called Typehole model was developed and implemented in Java. It does not use Is-role-of inheritance and is free from the object schizophrenia (OS) problem (OSP). An extended di...
