SeLeNe – Self E-Learning Networks

In this report we propose a set of services that are applicable in the case of SeLeNe in alignment to the Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA). In general, a service-based architecture is proposed that allows a user to submit requests to the SeLeNe Network, viewed as a whole, for the completion of some specific task. At this point, the SeLeNe project concentrates on providing services for the...

Patients treated with intravenous thrombolytic therapy followed by intravenous heparin were eligible when a pat...
