Abstract :
Cancer clinical trials pose significant challenges to the e-Science community. The information technology required to enable this kind of large-scale, collaborative science will need to support easy and rapid development and deployment of reliable and flexible software systems that enable syntactic, semantic and computational interoperability. CancerGrid, an e-Science consortium funded by the UK Medical Research Council, is addressing these challenges through the development of model-driven, service-oriented technology for cancer informatics. This poster presents recent significant efforts in CancerGrid, resulting in the metamodel-based automated generation of WSRF (Web Services Resource Framework) compliant trial management systems. The most important advantages of our approach are discussed.
