Abstract :
A constantly increasing number of applications from various scientific sectors are finding their way towards adopting grid technologies in order to take advantage of their capabilities: the advent of grid environments made feasible the solution of computational intensive problems in a reliable and cost-effective way. In this paper we present a grid-based approach for aggregation of data that are obtained from various sources (e.g. cameras, sensors) and their analysis with the use of genetic algorithms. By also taking into consideration general historical data and patient-specific medical information, we present the realization of the proposed approach with an application scenario for personalized healthcare and medicine.
