Abstract:
In this paper, we present the actual architecture of Acigna-G, our Cloud-oriented Grid Computing platform and the ongoing deployment of a MAS algorithm for brain segmentation. Also, we discuss three important improvements for this platform to allow the deployment of brain dMRI cloud services : HTTP/Restful oriented computing services for the management of user’s service requests, application-level virtualization coupled with distributed computing models, and separation of user request management and computing tasks execution as found on actual PaaS Cloud Services. Such architecture would offer a convenient deployment and use of brain dMRI PaaS/SaaS Cloud Services onto a computing grid.
