2006 International Symposium on Healthcare Technology Development / 3 ABSTRACT We suggest the Distributed Programming Developing Tool (DPD-Tool) based on the Distributed Object Group Framework (DOGF) for developing healthcare applications. In the DOGF, we consider the grouped objects configured distributed application as a healthcare application group. For conveniently developing healthcare applications, the DPD-Tool includes 3 modules between the DOGF and application developers; object group administrator’s module, server program developer’s module, and client program developer’s module. Finally using above environments, we developed healthcare applications and showed the executing result of DPD-Tool in viewpoint of server program developer.

2006 International Symposium on Healthcare Technology Development / 4 1. Introduction (1/2)  Researching motivation  With the progress of the computing environments, The distributed systems have been using For sharing distributed resources. For providing critical-mission services like healthcare, telematics, and so on.  For improving availability of distributed resources, Distributed system environments are required the complicated interactions among resources.  Needs of our research  To solve the complicated interactions through effective management of distributed resources, like object group management.  To provide simple binding and real-time strategies for increasing the availability of distributed resources.

2006 International Symposium on Healthcare Technology Development / 5 1. Introduction (2/2)  Our research  Using Object Group Model We have been developed the Distributed Object Group Framework(DOGF).  Over the DOGF Developing Took-kit for conveniently implementing distributed applications using 3 GUIs for an object group administrator, Server programming developers, and Client programming developers.  Support of our DPD-Tool Any middleware Any programming language Functionalities of the DOGF Developing the Tool-kit based on the Distributed Object Group Framework (DOGF)  Distributed Programming Developing Tool (DPD-Tool)

2006 International Symposium on Healthcare Technology Development / 8 3. Development of Healthcare Application using DPD-Tool  We use the modules supported by DPD-Tool.  Step 1: server program developers implement server programs and register the server objects in Information Repository of DOGF by using Server Programming Developer GUI.  Step 2-3: client program developer searches the group information including server objects’ properties and requests their access rights to an DOGF for invoking service objects needing. Then he develops distributed program using the granted service objects.  Step 4: obtaining the server object’s reference from the DOGF  Step 5: client program requests the service to the server object.
