Description     :  Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) lead architect in a

large-scale migration project, targeted at moving the out-

sourced IT infrastructure and applications of the client's

complete investment process from the client's previous IT

service provider to FIDUCIA.

  Analysis of the overall EAI system architecture and complex

communication relationships with the client's set of managed

services (application clusters) which implement the client's

complete investment process. In-depth analysis of the system's

components performance properties and interdependencies with

regard to different hardware architectures (design properties

of CPU/cores, cache, bus, memory, etc. in SPARC vs. x86 archi-

tecture) and software architecture (OS threading implementa-

tion, Java performance acceleration & JVM tuning, event

processing, queuing, channel architecture, etc. in Java EE

middleware components).

 Draft alternative solution architectures as proposals for an

architectural re-design to meet and possibly exceed the

client's requirements for significant improvement in system

performance, with particular regard to single-thread per-

formance in ordered processing of CEP JMS event queues.

Analyze requirements of, and draft a solution architecture

for split sites operation during the various phases of

migration of the client's various managed services. Analyze

the system's communication relationships with regard to basic

network infrastructure (IP network) in order to prepare for

the setup of appropriate firewall rules, define performance

and bandwidth requirements, WAN & VLAN interconnection, and

routing strategy in cooperation with the network infra-

structure provider (VR Netze) and telco carriers (Deutsche

Telekom, Colt Telecom).

 Working closely with the client's application and system

specialists in order to deliver a complete analysis prepare

and support a smooth migration of the EAI system, its services,

Project #04     : ACOM.Net PACS Online Archive
Time / Place    : 05/94 - 12/97 (44 months - 8 renewals) / Germany, USA
Business        : Medical Technology / Medical IT
Customer        : Siemens AG - Medizintechnik / Siemens Medical Systems Inc.
Position        : Consultant / Assistant Project Manager
Team Lead/Size  : 7 (core) + ~13 (supplementary)
Description     : Planning, design and implementation of a hardware & software

reference platform for a leading-edge, cost efficient digital

online archiving system to store medical images / PACS.

 Based on off-the-shelf Intel x86 Hardware and Windows NT

3.5/4.0, with standard Ethernet connection to large-scale

medical imaging systems (Siemens Coroskop / Bicor / Polytron

etc.) and real-time review devices (ACOM.M / .B / .PC),

clinical data sources (HIS / RIS) and workstations via DICOM/

HL7 driven communication.

 Designed the data model, provided DBMS configuration and

performance tuning of the Versant database, authoring of 510k

& GMP compliant documentation including Requirements & System

Analysis Specification, Design & Engineering Specification,

implementing the prototype, integration, performance &

quality tests, change request management.

 Close involvement with working out the product development

roadmap, upgrade & replacement roadmap, cost analysis &

control (TCO calculation), and budgeting.

 Coordinated communications between distributed developer

teams in Germany, the U.S., Sweden, and India. Organized and

drove information flow from DICOM task force and developer

team of the PACS class library (pre-Syngo product) to the

ACOM.Net developer teams.
