Abstract: A system for automatically tracking elements associated with a software application and for generating customizable graphs that capture the dependencies and message flows among the elements is provided. For a software application deployed in a cloud environment, configuration files used to deploy the elements of the software application are processed to extract information such as the name of each element and the names of messages used or produced by each element. This extracted data is combined with implicit data about the cloud environment such as data about elements used in the environment but that are not deployed using configuration files. Graph data is generated from the combined data that includes an object for each element and edges that represent message flows or dependencies between the elements. The graph data is used to render and display a graph of the software application.

Abstract: A system for validating and updating records, such as medical records, is provided. The system includes a flexible operation and transaction based framework that allows for the handling of a variety of record validation and updating scenarios. The system provides many advanced features related to confidentiality, performance, and auditing. The system may perform one or more operations on the medical records in an order defined by a transaction file in order to achieve a goal such as medical record deduplication. Each operation may take an input one or more input files, output files of previous operations, or one or more medical records. Each operation may generate one or more output files including input data for a subsequent operation, and success or failure files that describe the actions performed by the operation. The success or failure files may also be used by subsequent operations.

Abstract: In order to improve the transfer of studies to a viewing application through a network, a cloud-based system is provided that optimizes the performance of imaging workflows. A client side application receives requests from an image viewing application. If the study is stored locally, the study including objects, are provided to the viewing application locally. Otherwise, the request is provided to the cloud-based system. The cloud-based system may include two processing components, an aggregator, and a retriever. The aggregator may collect the metadata about the study and may provide the metadata to the viewing application. The aggregator receives request for objects (e.g. images) from the viewing application and may priority the retrieval and processing of the requests based on information about the object such as its type, importance, and the metadata associated with the study.
