Mindstream Healthcare Application Project

Hi all; My name is Jeremy, and this is my mindstream project blog. I am going to detail my experiences with the Mindstream Project here. Mindstream is a framework for accessing resources in a fully disconnected network. Read the project page to get an idea of how it works, I don't fully understand it yet myself. The project started as a way to maintain a blog without a constant connection to the network and is being expanded to other applications.

I am responsible for determining the requirements and specification for the project's heath-care application. The idea is that a heath-care provider wants to have access to network resources in a disconnected environment. For example, they may want to take notes about a patient and have those notes automatically synchronize with an on-line database whenever the provider reestablishes a connection to the network. The system must be disconnect tolerant and transparent to the user. Another application is to use mobile access points to synchronize data between fully disconnected nodes and the network over wireless connections.

I have been hired as an Undergraduate Research Assistant (URA) in the University of Waterloo's School of Computer Science, working under Prof. Keshav. His project blog is here.
