“…Java has been a popular implementation environment for various medical and virtual instrumentation solutions because of its architecture and platform independence (66). Various Java toolkits and virtual instrument environments are available (44,55,67). Java-based medical information systems are used to integrate legacy applications for patient records, billing, and pharmacy that are compatible with the industry standard Health Level 7 (HL7) data interchange format.…”

Virtual instrumentation merges sensing technologies with hardware and software technologies to create flexible and sophisticated instruments for various control and monitoring applications. Biomedical applications require sophisticated and flexible instrumentation, accomplished by using general‐purpose computing platforms with various application‐specific input/output devices. Virtual instrumentation brings many advantages over “conventional” instrumentation. Employing general‐purpose computing platforms significantly decreases the price of instruments. Standard system interfaces allow seamless integration of virtual instruments in a distributed system, whereas software reconfiguration facilitates flexibility and scalability. Most general virtual instrumentation concepts are directly applicable in biomedical applications; however, specific features of the biomedical instrumentation must be taken into account. In this article, we present a brief history and current state of virtual instrumentation for biomedical applications. We explain the general architecture of a virtual instrument, describe the most frequently used tools and platforms, and present typical examples of biomedical applications of virtual instrumentation.

“…It is indeed a challenging task. Most of previous works about the test applications focus on the hardware solution or the architecture design [6]- [9]. Although a few works [10]- [12] study the development and testing of measurement software, none of them offers a specific approach to improve the software development efficiency remarkably.…”

Test systems are widely adopted to assist the design and testing of domestic appliances. A test system mainly includes computers, data acquisition instruments and test software. Development of test software often suffers from low efficiency due to the complex design, programming and debugging process. In this paper, we design a platform to facilitate the development of test software based on Client/Server and Browser/Server hybrid architecture. The development process of the test software is turned into configuring parameters through the graphic user interface (GUI). The platform presented consists of the reusable component libraries, client-based assembly subsystem, web-based assembly subsystem, data collection subsystem and customization subsystem. Our platform is validated by various cases of developing test software for manufacturing enterprises. The results demonstrate that our platform remarkably improves the development efficiency and quality of test software.

“…In such a model, the clients can be thus regarded as cognitive, reasoning and self-determining computing entities. Java is at the base of many other software platforms for distributed measurement systems [10][11][12][13]. In [10], an interesting discussion is also presented aimed at comparing some software environments for building distributed measurement systems: the authors discuss the advantages and the problems inherent the adoption of commercial solutions and propose an independent platform that allows full access to the instrumentation without the need of a dedicated measurement application.Recently, a multiserver-multiclient platform for cooperative test laboratories has been presented in [14].…”

SUMMARYThe rapid growth of network infrastructures and the large availability of instrumentation supporting remote control have encouraged the deployment of complex and sophisticated laboratories and the design of software platforms for accessing the resources present there. Although the market offers several solutions to remotely manage equipment, little attention has been paid to the hardware and software architectures devoted to control distance learning experimental environments and to manage laboratories consisting of heterogeneous devices. The paper illustrates the architectural approach adopted within the LABNET project and describes in detail the main software components of the devised platform, which allows to exploit the instrumentation via a common Web user interface, thus making the system available independent of any specific (commercial) environment or application. Specifically, attention is focused on the LABNET server (LNS), which represents the supervising central unit and, therefore, a very critical element of the system. The paper mainly points out the architecture and protocols at the basis of the LNS and discusses a set of performance tests aimed at proving the effectiveness of the system and comparing it with a well-known commercial solution.
