Abstract :
In this paper a new model for telemedicine service providers denoted as TM-Provider is presented. The TM-Provider establishes two multilevel controllers for the fully administration of telemedicine sessions conduct. The communication between the controllers´ levels is based on an advanced request-respond protocol that addresses the traffic of the messages and applies sophisticated security mechanisms for access and data protection issues. The proposed architecture and message-flow protocol synthesize a ‘tool’ for the designers and developers of telemedicine applications and provide them with an integrated architectural solution, independent of the various or advanced technologies and platforms that they intent to use.
