Abstract:
The design of distributed applications requires theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience. Our work is about distributed applications based on embedded platforms such as smartphones or tablets. We define a software chain development from design to implementation where services are designed through interface diagrams and component diagrams. From these declarations, we are able to generate software descriptions into two languages. Android Description Language (AIDL) is utilized for local services to an embedded platform. Web Application Description Language (WADL) is utilized for remote services. Such services are called from one platform to another one. The first kind of description allows developers to create Android services. Then, WADL description provides all the features for building Restlet Web services. We applied our strategy to the design and building of a case study on medical picture set management. Embedded tablets can take pictures during the users’ activities. Local services allow users to display their medical picture through specific viewers. Remote services are set to expose these data to specific medical material. So, we provided a way to exchange technical data from well spread platforms to medical application servers.
