title: Grid enabled remote visualization of medical datasets.
abstract: We present an architecture for remote visualization of datasets over the Grid. This permits an implementation-agnostic approach, where different systems can be discovered, reserved and orchestrated without being concerned about specific hardware configurations. We illustrate the utility of our approach to deliver high-quality interactive visualizations of medical datasets (circa 1 million triangles) to physically remote users, whose local physical resources would be otherwise overwhelmed. Our architecture extends to a full collaborative, resource-aware environment, whilst our presentation details our first proof-of-concept implementation.
