Abstract :
We examine some of the issues surrounding the development of distributed services medical imaging network (DSMIN). The system described is an agent-enabled, dynamic environment which supports the distribution of image data and code within a network cloud of cooperating agencies. The foundations of the DSMIN include code migration and load-balancing using agents and dynamic discovery of services using both the DII/Trader facilities of CORBA as well as more direct client-creation via Java applets. The paper provides an overview of the role of these technologies in the DSMIN
