Database Design
Overview
  We have adopted ObjectStore C++ as our database system. Image processing on the server side is done by Woolz: a locally developed image processing toolkit. None.
Client Interface
Design Overview
 

For the interfaces of the clients we are using Java 1.1.? or Java 1.2 and Swing from javasoft. We will deliver software in the form of signed applets since our applets require access to local resources (local databases for submissions and CDROM for grey-level reconstructions). May may also include a Java/JNI (Java native interface) wrapper to our image processing toolkit.

We also use PSE for Java from ObjectStore which is FREE Java database. PSE is used on the client side in order to cache data. For example data submission will be stored on the client machine until the user is happy that the submission is complete.
