The IT-SOA project concerns modern information technologies operated within distributed systems. Such technologies, based on the SOA paradigm (Service Oriented Architecture), are used for computerisation of business processes, service platforms and IT infrastructure for e-Science. The essence of this approach is to automate both the process of starting up single services as well as and integration of services into complex business processes.
Within the IT-SOA project, a platform for the medical sector has been created to aid hospitals, clinics and emergency service in patient handling.
