A SOA-Based Collaborative Environment for Clinical Trials on Neglected Diseases

—The WebInVivo project aims at providing automated support for clinical research on neglected diseases. It includes mechanisms for (a) sharing and reusing clinical trial assets, such as protocols, protocol data, workflows and workflow metadata and (b) controlling the protocol life cycle, from modelling to execution. In this project, collaboration in the biomedical area will permeate three segments of Brazilian society: (a) research and development, (b) health agents and (c) population at risk. The knowledge gained from this study will be complied and published through social networks directed to these segments of Brazilian society. Keywords-service-oriented computing; workflow management; social networks; web services; semantics; quality of service; e-health
