Digital Image Management System for Biomedical Research and Clinical Trials
|
|
Lead the R&D of a new generation of digital image management system to
provide searchable DICOM image management, XML based annotations and image
markup (AIM) management, semantic query formulation, extensible
architecture to support new data types, SVG-based image visualization,
efficient image data communications and image version management. The
system will also be caGRID compliant and can work as a grid node.

RFID Data Management and RFID Middleware
|
|
Lead the R&D of an RFID data management system that employs an event-based
temporal-oriented approach to manage and process complex RFID data. The
system provides i) an expressive temporal oriented data model for
effective tracking and monitoring; ii) declarative rules based framework
for automatic RFID data transformation; iii) efficient and effective data
filtering techniques; iv) adaptable and portable integrated RFID data
management system; and v) easy customization for integration with minimal
integration cost.

Project lead on innovating, architecting and developing SciPort, a new
generation of scientific data management and integration platform. With a
universal data model and distributed metadata-based architecture, SciPort
enables secure, powerful, and lightweight scientific data management,
integration and sharing with a Web 2.0 powered user experience. SciPort
provides a unified solution for scientific data collection, modeling,
storage, indexing, searching, browsing, reporting, visualization, and
sharing.
The system has been enthusiastically accepted by users, including Siemens
operating companies, preclinical and clinical trial sites, biomedical
research labs, and NIH caBIG community.

Past Projects

Poweful Archival Information Systems can be built by combining XML and
relational DBs. XML supports a temporally-grouped view of the
transaction-time history of the underlying DB, whereby powerful temporal
queries are expressed in XQuery (with no extension required). Internally,
RDBMSs support these temporal views and queries efficiently via SQL/XML.

ICAP: Incorporating Change Management into Archival
Processes
The project aims at preserving and using temporal and multi-version functionality of the original record.
This project will enhance the basic archival ability to retrieve any version of an important record,
with the ability of comparing versions, retrieving changes between versions,
and asking historical queries on the editorial history of the electronic record and on the real-world information they contain.
