title: Plug and play--fiction or reality?
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 suggested and partially implemented in order to accelerate integration scenarios.
