title: Plug and play integration into a healthcare information system.
abstract: This paper discusses some experiences with the integration of a tumor documentation system into a distributed healthcare environment using a new European middleware technology. Although the middleware already offers a considerable support to the software engineer further facilities have been developed in order to accelerate integrations. Such facilities arised from the software engineering principle of separating reusable parts and non-reusable parts.
